    Selling phone, buyer is in London ? Advice

    I'm currently selling my phone on adverts, just got offered the asking price but the buyer wants me to post it to London.

    Should I be concerned about this ? Maybe I'm just paranoid.

    He says he can pay thought paypal.

    Once the money's in my paypal account am I safe ?

    PayPal is very biased towards the buyer so your not safe once the money is in your account
    Does he have good feedback ? You could insist on him paying by gift ,that way he has no comeback

    On the ball there adverts - now if only they could sort the site visitors who's sole purpose is to comment with low ball offers to get a reaction without even wanting to purchase in the first place.

    The first thing that threw up alarm bells was offering asking price. Especially when minimum offer is set to €30 below asking price
