Building materials via eBay, any tips on the payment mechanism?


Recommended Posts

I visited the seller yesterday, the building material is in his back garden and he can ship for another £200. To my no longer completely amateur eye what he is selling is top quality.

 

This would be a non-bid fixed price transaction. How should I handle the payment? My thought is 50% down once he has loaded up the goods at his house, then the remainder at my plot before he unloads. I have never purchased anything from eBay before.

It’s amazing how many sellers aren't vat registered 


Many won’t be though if they are selling something off privately. I got VAT receipts for everything that noted that the seller had a VAT number (they agreed to send a VAT invoice before I ordered) but some private sales were still worth it even without the ability to claim back the VAT.
