Is it Ok? Question about paypal, ebay and safe.

Ok...I'm confused. If you already have a buyer interested in your item why list it on eBay and pay them fees? And if you get payment thru Paypal, you'll pay them fees too. What method did she have in mind for paying you, buyers are always paid first then ship items and so the onus is on the seller to ship the goods which isn't really different if you sold to her directly. You might want to recontact her again and let her know that you changed your mind and will sell direct to her if you can work out the payment details. Good Luck!!!

well, i thought that you didnt need use ebay to sell your item which meet with buyer on a forum. i am a member of digitalpoint forum. i use paypal for trade. but remember, you must save and have a good point when paypal limited you or your buyer cheat you. example: i had a buyer asking some stuff to send to his place. i send him an invoice from paypal and then he pay it with paypal too. but when the stuff is sent, the buyer open a dispute on paypal and he said that the stuff is never recieve. WTF? i have sent it ! and then i talk with paypal staff on that disput board, i show the tracking number and the scan paper of the delivery to paypal staff, and then i am become the winner of that case ;) remember, paypal is good friend for good people :) just dont worry ;)

If you already promised her that you would sell them items to her then you need to live up to your promise. What I would do is re-email her and tell her that you will accept a money order for payment. This is safe because in order for one to purchase a money order they must pay cash for one. I have used money orders plenty of times and know this for a fact. With ebay and paypal there are fees associated and why pay extra money yourself if someone wants the items already.
