Buyers rights when paying via PayPal. Ur collecting in person.

[Creamery4]

Hi. Just trying to clarify my rights as a buyer when paying via PayPal and collecting in person.

I’m  potentially travelling 500 mile round trip to pick up a £4k item advertised as “ new but open and unused”. It will have therefore been paid for before I can check it is as advertised and not refurbished or a return.

would I be covered if this is the case ?

any help appreciated.

thanks.

No there is 0 buyer protection using paypal for items that are personally delivered or collected.

I would never use paypal I would prefer cash on collection after examining the item OR do a bank transfer again whilst your at the sellers house after seeing the item.

Thanks. Appreciate your reply. I was a bit wary. Will travel down to check and pay cash or transfer funds if item as described.
