Hi
So the few things I've bought and sold on the forum have always been through paypal, it seems to be the go-to standard for protection.
I am considering buying an item on the forum but the seller has requested bank transfer . They dont have PayPal and tell me they are unable to set it up. We are in separate cities so also unable to meet in person . I have voiced my concerns to the seller but they have offered no alternative.
I suspect I know the answer I will get to this question , but would anyone advise dealing in this way? Since searching for similar cases on the forum I have noticed other sellers asking for PayPal or bank transfer so maybe it's more common than I think . The seller has no visible feed back from previous buyers , though I have no other reason to doubt them. What genuine reasons do people have for not using PayPal ?
Thanks

Managed to get a quick build done this weekend, still waiting on few parts including a c-record headset I bought on ebay (also manged to misplace a couple of crank bolts before anyone spots it!). Using Athena Cranks and calipers, I've always liked this groupset. Think I will continue to ride single speed over winter and try to collect the rest of the groupset ready for spring and possibly respray at that point - for now I have sanded back the surface rust and covered with clear nail varnish, will see how it holds up . The fork paint is peeling off , may have to sand this back too.
Its a lovely, lively ride, tight clearances and feels very light despite some chunky components!

I won't name them in the thread right now but they are in London, and have been on the forum around a year with a couple of comments, nothing to really vouch for their reputation.
Thanks, I've asked the seller again why they wont use PayPal, I'll see what they say .
