My wife has won a motorhome and the method of paying is cash on collection. The person we are buying off has agreed to deliver it, at our request, for an extra cost but, has requested payment prior to travelling up, via bank transfer, as his preferred option of paying through eBay, wasn't available. This method of payment suits us better but I am concerned about transferring a significant amount of money that isn't through an eBay method and is prior to receipt. There is also a concern that if we waited until the day he drops it off, the transfer may not go through immediately or may not allow us to transfer the whole amount. If we were to transfer prior to receipt, is this kind of transaction covered through eBay's payment protection? Any tips or advice would be very much appreciated.
