Advice on dealing with couriers arranged by a buyer

[loumcl91]

Hi

I'm currently selling a mac computer for collection only. I've just received an offer saying they'd like to buy but they'd also arrange a courier and all I'd have to do is hand the item over to a driver. They said they'd take full responsibility. 

It's a good offer above asking price but I have to admit I'm slightly hesitant because I'm not arranging the courier myself and would have no access to whether the item was delivered etc. So I just wondered if anyone has any similar experiences with this? Would the courier give me proof they collected? Would I receive proof of delivery? I have no idea. 

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

There is no buyer protection for third part collection so they couldn't claim non-receipt via ebay. There's a tiny possibility if they used their credit card (with or without Paypal) they could in theory do a chargeback with their card.   It's unlikely but you could have a receipt ready for the courier to sign.   Maybe take a photo too.

Thank you for the reply. I guess this has been taken out of my hands now because someone has bid on it but there's still a worry. Do you have any advice for what to do when the buyer collects? As it is a larger item over £100 should I have them sign something?
