Ebay, it's never easy
« on: 05 March 2014, 19:07:55 »
I seem to attract the odd ones every time, this one is a guy from Kuala Lumpa wanting a BMW E21 dashboard posting to him  ::) He's been harassing me for weeks and wants a price to send it him there.....you can imagine the postage cost which may end up with him stitching me up through a paypal complaint. Would you bother?

As another BMW owner / restorer who has had items sent from Argentina, New Zealand, Australia , L.A. Miami  and just about every EU country, I can understand his eagerness if it is for a good car with a cracked dash top.....
If you are of a mind to do it then get an international courier ( Google to find best  ) to price the shipment based on weight and dimensions when packaged in stout cardboard. Contact the guy and ask for cleared funds first by whatever means is best or suits . Emphasis that all risks are his and if he wants additional suitable insurance then it's at his cost .
If not interested then contact him and tell him it's sold or has been damaged beyond use.

Western Union is banned on Ebay.

Bank transfer, and NOTHING else. :y
