is it safe enough to post for sale items to slovenia ?
« on: January 27, 2013, 12:48:13 pm »
after a bit of advice please
got for sale items on the forum and someone wants to purchase all items for postage to slovenia ?
just not sure if this is as reliable as posting to a uk customer
customers post count only at 18 so just want to be carefull as i know some way people can get refunds through paypal once items are posted
any advice much appreciated
thanks

Personally I would want a bank transfer if the item was valuable vs using Paypal.
Without traction power is nothing!

have never used a bank transfer before, is it easy to set up ?
was planning on using paypal gift option but not sure if that is the kind of thing that can be reversed through paypal or not.
i have heard of people getting things refunded after posting them through paypal when it comes to non uk, i have used paypal for years but not really non uk.
is there some ways of paying through paypal that are safer than others,
for example if the payment is listed as goods apposed to a gift, something that takes away the power from the buyer to refund his money ?
thanks

get the buyer to pay as Paypal gift or if he wants normal paypal then only post if he has a confirmed address.

Use a good courier too, with tracking.

Hi buddy, he was selling the H&R coilovers in the for sale section last week dont know if you saw them? Anyway, I bought them from him for approx £400 posted, sent money to him via pay pal, he posted them on the Monday of this week just gone with a tracking number and they arrived on Friday, so I can recommend him highly  :happy2:
