Ebay Classifieds Shipping Safe?

Hello right now I have a laptop worth 1000 euro on ebay classifieds inside, it is getting more and more people if shipping would be possible. There it hacks me. I'm rather uncertain, Paypal I have and I do not know that "about friends" and so on the money should be sent. Trozdem I feel uncertain because. How much you care?

So there would be many sales on ebay classifieds not take place, if not sent. A risk is often more for buyers and not for sellers. Beware of people who want to send you a check. Since shipping addresses must be stated, I would simply check them with google maps, phone book or something. We have already sent a lot, including expensive things.

Maybe you have a few more tips on how best should be shipped in terms of package, etc?

Never send if the money has not yet been credited to your account.

Oh come on, you can google everything, it's all a matter of taste. You will probably still be able to pack a package and insured to ship. DHL, hermes, ask how it's done. Is everything on the Internet.

Achso: first money, then goods, and no cash on delivery!

Would do it with paypal

NOT with PayPal, but only by bank transfer to your account!

Your doubts are certainly not completely unfounded.

There are several ways that rip-offs abuse eBay classifieds and other ad portals for their criminal business.

Ultimately, PayPal is not 100% protection against fraud. PayPal is acting on its terms of service. Not in consideration of the legal provisions of the German case law.

My advice:

Especially for high-priced articles with high demand you should insist on pick-up and payment on the spot.

And above all, you should only sell with a proper and watertight purchase contract.

You can find a general sales contract for the sale of used goods to private persons here:

Good to know:

A sales contract only makes sense if it has been completely filled out.

Except for the price and the buyer address, you can already complete two copies.

How to save yourself The hustle and bustle when the buyer is at the door and in a hurry.

And you should always take the time to check the money as well.

You should definitely do three things:

In the ad, clearly indicate that only personal pickup and payment in cash will be accepted.

Open offer

"Non-binding offer" - beware, wording traps!
Making an offer can sometimes be a really tricky business. You work in an industry where commodity prices fluctuate a lot, and you want to be able to pass on higher costs to customers later on? Or you are not sure if you have enough stock left until the final purchase? In such cases, additional formulations are available to help you turn a simple offer into a "non-binding" or "non-binding" offer. But beware: traps are also lurking!
