I won this item for my Saab. It's turning out to be a million times more expensive than I thought it would be (shipping from the UK). I want it and bit the bullet and paid him. He said ring me and pay by debit. I ignored that and just sent him the payment through paypal.
He writes me back that he will make nothing of this deal unless I pay him by debit (credit card, I presume he means?) or pay him the 4% paypal fees (really?). I'm a little cautious right now, I don't want to get screwed. The item is super rare, but not really needed. If I choose to call him and pay by credit card, is that a safe bet? I know most will say no.
Really annoying how EVERY email of his is in FULL CAPS. My gosh.
I guess the paypal thing gives me some level of comfort, but from what I've heard the ebay protection is crap anyways. Still, the thought of calling him and paying by credit card over the phone to some dude in the UK makes me a little worries, especially because it's a total of around 135 bucks.
Thanks for your comments. Where else to ask then you guys? It's always nice to know there's a bunch of you with similar experiences that can chime in. Thanks for your help.
Bender.
