cabrioman 6 Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 or rite didnt know that i had the same kinda thing when i got my pistons from the usa worked out ok Link to post Share on other sites
golfrabbit33 0 Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 ask if the seller sells regular to anyone in uk and try to see if you cant pay them and do it that way.if you paypal them you will have some cover. wierd that an ebayer doent take paypal. if they are so fussed about charges maybe offer to pay them yourself and see if that works,cost a bit more i know but you need some form of protection with foreign companies.

craggsy 91 Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Thought Ebay demanded now that all sellers must use paypal Link to post Share on other sites
vw_golf_vr6 0 Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Maybe eBay's policy differs for eBay.de? I've used bank transfer before now cost me about a tenner I think, other times I've just sent Euro's in the post via 'Royal Mail International Signed For' never had a problem.

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 I wouldnt entertain it, paypal coveres your arse, doesnt take half an hour to set up a paypal account Link to post Share on other sites
vw_golf_vr6 0 Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 I always use PayPal if I can, but if you win something you really wanted and seller is saying no to PayPal I guess there is no choice. The couple of times I sent Euro's in the post it never total'd more than €40 I took the chance and sent it that way. Link to post Share on other sites
