Hello

Just looking for some advice, I have just sold a lens on fleabay to someone located in the USA.

I want to avoid paypal fee's so i was going to ask for wire transfer, what details do i need to provide to the guy? Other than S/C and Acc no.?

May just go with paypal gift if he up for it but i dont like them having my money lol.

Did the buyer request that you accept a wire transfer? If so, be careful.....

I'd stick with the normal Paypal payment in this instance, should anything go wrong...
 
I have requested not to be paid by paypal as im already being raped with ebay fee's and then im gonna get hit again with paypal charges :(

Ill see if i can get him to send via paypal gift,
Im worried about sending him the lens, paypal holding funds until positive feedback/21days and him saying he never recieved it or something. So im left without a lens and no cash :(. Its going to be sent Via DHL with online tracking so im not sure where i would stand with paypal should he say he never got it or something?
 
For international payment by bank transfer, I only accept IBAN payment as Paypal is a scammers paradise.

Your bank statement gives the numbers you need. Payment sent from a Euro bank can arrive next day as a CHAPS credit. I assume it'll be similar.

Don't accept Paypal, it'll be much cheaper for you to be paid via IBAN and its safe, unlike Paypal.
