PayPal protection isn't included when the item is Collection only. | |

I've had people collect stuff before on the condition they inspect the goods and leave feedback before they go. | |

This exact situation happened to me selling some old subwoofers. 2 x 15" with enclosure build for Corsa. | |

Wouldn't feel comfortable however in this situation I see it as being the only way of truly protecting yourself from any comebacks. | |

In this situation the only real way to be safe would be to film it all. From the moment he knocks to the moment he leaves, I'd even follow him to the car and try and get a shot of him in the car with the item then driving away (try and get him to put item on front or back seats) avoid the boot if possible. | |

My guess is they would side with the buyer and you'd lose the money. | |

Only issue with that is some buyers would feel in easy, and may nt even have a smart phone. | |

I know how gift works, but most people would just naturally follow the eBay transaction and it would go as goods | |

Signature means nothing, I wouldn't know if it's genuine, and wouldn't prove anything to PayPal. | |

If it's paid as a gift they can't start a claim or get the money back. Simples. | |

You could always refund the money, tell them you don't mind PayPal, but then get them to gift the money once at your place collecting. | |

I've often thought the very same thing, and because of this in the past I've refused collection. | |

Write something up to prove they collected it, get their signature. | |
