Ebay scam?

[rcarolina]

Off topic this, but would like the advice of some sensible people. I have given up riding bikes for a while and have put a load of stuff on Ebay to help pay for my CS38 training - it's some riding gear and three Arai lids. I have had at least three emails asking if I would send to Europe (Poland, Portugal, Italy etc). They seem on the surface to be genuine bidders but I am very wary of scammers?

 

Has anyone had experience of this before - I'm just thinking it might be easier to resrict the sales to UK. Any help much appreciated.

 

Cheers.

 

Dave.

hi if you are willing post to europe make sure you post via a online trackable postal service eg dhl or ups and only accept paypal and you should be covered.

i use parcels2go to send all my large items and anything overseas loads cheaper than the post office

Every experience I've had of selling off ebay to forgien bidders has been a nightmare.

 

Nice dog pic. Lurcher or Greyhound?

I sold my motorbike on ebay a couple of months back to a polish chap who came over and exported it, no problems there.

Thanks - might give it a miss.

 

Mr Ed - Lurcher, getting on a bit now but bloody fast (picture is of her second favourite activity after small furry things).

Mine recently had to be put to sleep. I have a large black naughty lurcher shaped hole in my life.

That's tough mate. Not looking forward to that day I have to admit. Get another one to try to (partly) fill the hole.

My sympathy to you. It's always such a hard decision to put a pet to sleep.

sold some racing wheels to a bloke in germany who was willing to pay more than uk bidders as exchange rate was so good for him. . . money first then post or no sale
