Well after a long run of great razor scores back in late June-July I committed to a personal driven sabbatical to save my wallet and bank account.
Well last week just browsing for fun I seen a razor I've lost out on many times on an international Ebay site I asked the seller if he would ship internationally, he said sure no problem. I put in a low snipe bid thinking there's no way it will go cheap but it did and I won and was in shock to be honest.
I go to pay and that's where I notice in the payments section Paypal isn't listed and there is no buyer protection but I go ok whatever credit card is fine I should still be covered, well when I went to checkout it will only allow me to pay with the card over the phone or in person which isn't possible. I said to myself no way am I giving out my credit card info to him over the phone.
So I contact the seller and ask if he can invoice me with a direct secure online credit card link or Paypal just this one sale as I am not located in the same continent as him and he replied back send me your Paypal email address and I will invoice you through them.
Am I just paranoid or is this way more complicated than it has to be? Also isn't against Ebay policy? I've never run into a situation like this in all my years of buying on Ebay.
I'm not sure what to do.
