buying parts by bank transfer???

[hough39]

ive been offered some parts at a very good price, but the lad wants me to pay by bank transfer because he hasnt got paypal n ive never done this and im abit weary as i only ever use paypal now! is there any way you can claim your money back using a bank transfer like you can on paypal if the seller turns out to be dodgy??

[BigMan]

i wouldnt do it to be honest as your not covered if it all goes tits up, best advice would be do it via pay pal, easy to set up an account!

[Simon]

Stay well clear unless you know them very very well if they are that much of a good price could you not factor in a tank of fuel and go get them and pay cash?

takes 5 mins to set paypal up, ive done bank transfer with a few members on here but im not exactly goimg anywhere lol. id go collect tbh dude

[Starbuck]

Cash on collection, paypal.

Bank transfers can GTFO unless really really necessary.

But as above paypal only takes 5 to set up....

Ive done it loads of times over the years and its allways been good to me, if your talking about actually going into there bank and paying into there account?? as thats what ive done and its allways been good to me like i say.

You get a receipt and your on the banks cctv.

ive done a couple of bank transfers to traders but thats it, i wouldnt do it for any randomer! get him to setup paypal or as said pay for the parts on collection

I've got a feeling there are some easy online Escrow services (other than PayPal) - might be worth a look for private sellers?

[Idrees]

You have NO cover whatsoever, there's no chance the bank will help you get your money back if the seller does a runner. I've done bank transfers with many members on here, like James I'm not running anywhere, and I've only paid members that I know well.

[hough39]

want be sending a bank transfer then, cheers for the advice lads

[Liam_D]

Ive done bank transfers before with no worries!

[templar2007]

I wood only do it if I new the person really well mate

[dazzariley69]

as showingstarletlove said its all recorded from bank to bank and you get a reciept and if your putting cash over the desk its instant and all retracebale, I've neva had any problem with it on uksc

i bought my wheels off a new member through bank transfer

just depends how genuine you think the guy is.

in terms of your account protection your fine, but unless it is over a certain amount you have no cover. As people have said on here only do it if you no the person and trust them.

i used to work at a bank and deal with fruad and claims a lot, you'll be suprise what people can get away with so its just not worth it sometimes
