[QUOTE="01GTB, post: 15188199, member: 4314"] I've had a non-working, commercial refrigerator sitting in my shop for two years and decided it was time to sell it when eBay sent an offer to sell items for free. No listing or final value fees. I list it for $250 but lower it to $225 or best offer, local pickup only, payment due at time of pickup. I get an offer of $175 and I accept it, ending the auction. I really wanted to send a counter offer, but figured I better take what I can get. I message the buyer and get no reply. Two days later I send another message. I send another invoice and finally get a reply five days after the auction ended. He says he will get with me shortly to pay and pickup the item. Nine days after the end of the auction he contacts me and says he does not feel comfortable paying cash and asks if I can take another form of payment. I reply that I do not understand what he means about not being comfortable. You pick it up and give me money when you do so. He sends back a reply that simply says, "paypal?" I've had a weird feeling ever since the beginning. Almost like he threw an offer out there and never expected it to be accepted. Would you take Paypal for an item that someone was picking up? It seems like he could just say he never got it and file a complaint with paypal, and I'd be out a refrigerator and $175. [/QUOTE]
