eBay

Hi Hopefully someone can advise on this. I have advertised soem big speakers as collection only. Accepted soemones offer, they have paid ebay and funds are in ebay ether. Buyer is now wanting a courier to collect. States that they will be responsible for packagin and transport. Also that they will have a six digit code to confirm collection.

Seems like a lot could go wrong with the delivery & buyer could state not received, as described, not working etc.

So should I go ahead or this too dodgey or even a scam?

Thanks in advance

As long as you have evidence that the buyer sent a courier to collect, and you ensure that the courier does not take anything away until you have successfully uploaded the collection code, you should be safe.

Ebay assume that the buyer will collect a collection only item and they are not covered by the Money Back Guarantee if they send a courier,
