A little bit of paypal advice please

[lloydi]

Hi guys, hope you can advise, I have just sold my Nokia N95 on ebay for my buy it now price, the issue is that its from a zero feedback buyer, however they have paid with paypal and the address is confirmed. The buyers ebayid and email address for paypal all match eg the persons name features in all. Just a bit worried as its over £200 and I cant really afford to lose it should I find the paypal account has been comprimised and I get a chargeback. What would you advise is there any risks here or am i covered?

Cheers

Personally I would transfer the cash straight to my bank account from paypal, keep phone till cash is in your account and then make sure you send out via recorded / special delivery so can prove to paypal / ebay that it was sent.

If it is confirmed AND seller protection is 'eligible' then you won't have a problem mate. I would transfer it into my bank just in case but there shouldn't be a need to wait for it to appear in your bank if the above conditions are met

If your really worried the guy should have his phone number on his details with paypal and ebay - just give him a quick ring to check when hes gonna be in for you to send the package to him as it will need signed for - make sure its a landline number and not a mobile, u can also google his address just to check its not a flat or house thats up for rent or as I once found - a static caravan on a gypsy site and using a skype phone number!
