Say you’ve been scammed like that before and refund the payment.
Could probably do some sort of receipt that you keep a copy of but dunno how well that’d stand up in a PayPal court of kangaroo.

Yeah buyer seems ok now he's understood what I mean. It's not clear at all and most of the ebay boards say no buyer protection on collection items however PayPal says no seller protection in the case of a dispute when the item is collected or delivered in person. In all honesty I wouldn't fancy my chances if the guy paid goods/services, collected the kayak in person and then requested cancellation saying he hadn't been able to collect for example meanwhile my kayak's 800 miles away!

Listed a kayak - cash on collection only and messaged and interested party saying if he wanted it we'd arrange a deposit and then balance on collection. He's paid via PayPal (I'm not looking to circumnavigate paying any fees but I'm concerned that someone paying PayPal goods and services and collecting in person has even more 'scam potential' - what's to say they haven't collected it when they have?) How do I go about getting their contact details them without the ebay bots bashing me?
