Hi everyone, Sorry if this is a silly question, but i've only ever bought/sold things from either a merchant website, ebay, or in person in cash. I resently sold two computer processors on ebay successfully to the same person. No problems there on a decently high value transaction. But i was contacted afterwards saying they were a compter cpu and ram buyer, that if i had any more parts to sell they could deal directly and also sent a price list. The claim is that by working outside ebay but through paypal i could sell to them while avoiding ebays fees, so id get more and theyd pay slightly less. I do indeed have a few more CPUs and some ram i could sell, and the reasoning seems sound to me, but also seems suspicious in a way? As ive not worked privately outside ebay before, i was wondering exactly what sort of protection paypal offers? Would i need a paypal business account or anything to get seller protection? Is this a safe/legitimate way of doing business and im paranoid? Or is my gut feeling of this being vaguely suspicious correct and something i should just avoid?(or report?) Thank you in advance!
