Need Help Quickly....Quick Question about ebay

[yellid23]

A guy is wanting me to allow him to pay with Western Union Money Transfer. He has perfect feedback, but will this end up costing me anything? I have no clue how they work. He hasnt actually bid on items yet just basically requesting permission to.

no........... only use paypal or USPS money order.

It won't cost you anything but its more expensive for him to send that way, that is odd that is the way someone is trying to pay for something. It is pretty much risk free for you cause you pick it up and it won't cost you anything and there is no way to get it back once you pick it up.

I am not sure how it works, but typically you just pick up cash at Western Union -- the only thing I would be worried about is if he has any access to my bank account routing number or account number because then he can clean you out after that. Never accept a check -- if it's cash and you go pick it up not a big deal -- I had my Dad wire my friends and I money in New York City when I was in college (too much partying) and it didn't cost me anything -- I think there is a fee, but I think its paid out of the initial money transferred.
