Hello 'crosskatya',
<<In the original listing, seller said not to use the current PayPal email address and would send the winner another one>>
Wow, - really? He's not supposed to do that, he's supposed to have his listings set up so that
buyers can safely, easily, and confidently pay.
It sounds like he is trying to avoid ebay fees by getting you to pay to another address.
I would love to look at that listing but lately we are not allowed to post item numbers to the boards.
Dreadful, that, - because you can see how it hampers other members' ability to offer any sort of
comprehensible assistance. Oh well, that's ebay for ya!
I have no doubt that the holder of the second paypal address is the same as the holder of the first
who put up the listing. After all, it was he who put that in his ad, right?
If you choose to send your money that way, you can enter the ebay item number when you send
the payment because you still have paypal's buyer protection if you are purchasing and not just making
a gift to someone.
Still, if it were me I wouldn't go for it, but then, I would have moved on when I saw that blurb in the
listing, if it is as you describe. I like everything to be above board, and I always prefer to deal with
an honest upright seller, even if it costs a little more money.
Just out of curiosity, what happens when - looking at the item in your Purchase History - you click on
Pay Now and try to follow through with payment just like with every other legitimate listing?
