Hey guys total stupid question here as you have come to expect from me Ive never sold anything...ever lol. I have a dude in Latvia that wants to buy my eyepiece set. Was hoping it would just be someone from the uk. I told him shipping would be about 30 quid and hes happy with that. Anything i need to watch out for? Whats the best way for him to pay me? Since im the seller im guessing theres no way for him to rip me off?

Hey Chris!
Dunno if PayPal is available to both buyer and seller here. Second choice is you ship your ep's when the loot's in your hands. Even this is problematic in some cases, as banking practice may allow credit on a deposited check only to find it was a bogus often stolen check and you're stuck.
I'd check with your bank, ask how best to transfer funds, once in hand THEN ship.
Bob

I can only suggest doing the usual checks. Find out as much as you can about him first. I assume he is from Astrobuysell. I have seen a few adds from latvia there.

With PayPal you have protection but just make certain what this is beforehand. Personally I would not sell outside the UK. I would hand on for a UK buyer.

Well he transferred 260 euro into my paypal account and covered the fees so seems to be fine i guess. Since the eyepiece set came with my scope and i have never even used them... its like free money lol
