eBay

Hello,

A buyer purchased an item from me, she asked me for my phone number or e-mail address so she can Pay me right away

because she doesn't want to wait 3-5 days to get verified.

Is this OK or what should I do?

I'm a bit confused as it has been a long time since I had to get verified. They want your email address so they would still be paying you through Paypal but not through ebay? Does a buyer actually have to be verified in order to pay through the ebay link but not if they pay direcly through Paypal?

A buyer does not have be verified to pay through the ebay link. Recently had one.

Do they want to pay another way?

She never mentioned how she would pay for it . She has also a feedback of only 2.

Thanks nan. I thought that might be the case.

I would find that out first. Perhaps they just think that they need to be verified or perhaps they want to pay you in another way.

I don't normally have a problem with sending an invoice through Paypal and having a buyer pay that way if there is a reason for it. I don't think that just 2 feedback is a reason for being uncomfortable with the buyer but if there are other reasons that make you uncomfortable you might want to be cautious.
