do you guys think i should send it via paypal?

if no, what do you guys suggest?

i need a suggestion.

btw, the item is not listed in ebay. Its just somethink we talked about.

Answer 1

I don't know if I would buy anything outside the eBay forum.  You have no protection and no guarantee to receive anything.  $350 is alot of money to loose.  If you do I would do it thru paypal.  I have used paypal and it is fast and easy. Also it leaves a paper trail if you do have any problems.

Answer 2

ARE YOU NUTS? LOL... Are you willing to risk a 350.00 loss? I dont think so! Ebay is not responsible for any transactions outside of their site, meaning if you get scammed its your loss. I would only handle transactions thru ebay. If this " ebayer" wants the money, tell them to list the item as buy it now, and you log in and purchase it. Otherwise nothing is guaranteed, there are so many scammers out there right now, seeking quick cash and preys thru ebay. Leave that " ebayer" alone.
