EBay advertising / PayPal?

Sell my laptop on eBay and someone wants to pay with PayPal. (From Germany) do I have to pay attention to something?

For classifieds about friends & family. Then he can't withdraw the money and you do not lose any money in fees

You don't really have to. But remember, if he pays with buyer protection, he can make a complaint afterwards. Justified or not, it doesn't matter at first.

You are only completely safe if he transfers to your bank account and insured it after receipt of the money.

But from my own experience I can say that very few buyers have bad intentions.

I've also processed hundreds of transactions via PayPal and never had any problems.

On ebay classifieds only cash is true. Attention.

With PayPal you can use your email address, provided you have a PayPal account. You will receive a message upon payment.

1.) Do you really mean eBay, or do you mean eBay classified ads? That's a big difference!

2.) Have you read the rules and especially the safety instructions of PayPal?

You should note that especially for sellers there's a risk of being scammed.

PayPal protects buyers but not sellers.

By the way: are you of legal age? If not, then you have to expect to be banned anyway and forget about the money.

Do I have to pay attention to something?

Not much.

This is very safe for the buyer, as you have to use tracking and tracing and he can take advantage of the buyer protection you have paid at any time within 180 days.

So everything is great.
