I read this story and couldn't believe what I was reading, if anyone here sell's on ebay/paypal it's well worth a read.
PayPal has warned that anyone selling goods on eBay should not let the buyer come to the house to collect them.
I feel part of the blame lies with eBay (eBay own PayPal), when a seller makes a listing, there is an option for "local pick up".

This is a shocking story of how an eBay seller lost £700.
