Would you buy an item from eBay outside eBay?

I risked few times, when the seller asked me, are you on HF ? ))) then we communicated not on eBay... eBay automatically search for key words, like give me your email or phone number, they will not like if do this stuff and they will know it automatically. On eBay you protected with shipment and you overpay Only 5% on exchange rate. But if he ask PayPal to family friends you will pay over 10%. Bank transfer is the best. But you risk on shipment. depend on the sum you pay, maximum I risked 1200usd. Twice I was saved from Froadulent seller on eBay on sum around 5000usd

And if you pay as a friend you cannot claim a refund on PayPal

I only pay as friends for my HF friends

bmsm,

Where are they located? Maybe one of us is close and might be able to help out.
If they are near me, I'd do it in the blink of an eye.
