Private buyers

Private buyers are clearly one of the best options available since they offer the best payouts, fast payments, and zero fees. However, it is important to be cautious as many individuals attempt to scam others every day. Be sure to carefully evaluate any buyers who contact you. If you are confident in the sale, proceed and always receive payment before shipping the item.

The most secure payment method for you is a bank transfer (or Revolut) since once it is completed, the buyer cannot cancel it or receive a refund. Many people will ask you to use PayPal for payment, which is a good method, but you must understand the differences between the two payment types.

If the buyer sends money via Friends and Family (FnF), you will receive the payment instantly, and they cannot request a refund. On the other hand, if they pay through Goods and Services, you will pay a small tax on the price (3.4% + €0.35), and the buyer can request a refund if you do not ship the item or ship the incorrect item.

It is essential to note that if everything is in order, you must enter the parcel tracking information into the PayPal transaction to get your money or wait for the buyer to release your payment. Since it is easy to get scammed, always exercise caution. Our recommendations for defeating scammers include making a video of yourself packing the item and holding onto it in case the buyer attempts to scam you by claiming you shipped the wrong item.

Private buyers can be found on a variety of platforms, including Discord, Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, and others. Regarding meetups, we strongly advise against going alone and encourage you to have methods in place to verify if the money given to you by the buyer are real or fake.

In conclusion private buyers can certainly be a valuable resource due to their attractive payouts and prompt payments. However, it is crucial to exercise caution and avoid falling victim to scams.
