I was looking for a Marian Hossa CCM pro stock stick, and I finally found a person willing to sell me one. The guy is from Modsquadhockey.com, I e-mailed him to send me pictures of the stick, and he sent them. He's selling the stick for $160 (brand new), plus, shipping (he's from Canada). I also asked him, for the sake of my, the buyers protection, and the sellers protection, to put it on eBay when I'm ready to pay, and he said he would. Do you think this person is safe to just use PayPal? He told me I would have to pay seller fee's if he put it on eBay or something like that, I have no idea. I'm not that experienced with this.
Please let me know guys,
Thanks

Im sure there is someone on here that may know him and if he has a good reputation as a seller so you could ask around. He is correct though, if he does post it on ebay and you buy it, ebay will take a percentage out on his end.
Another option to avoid ebay but still protect yourself through paypal is send the funds through paypal as goods and services. Paypal will take out a fee, but I dont think it is as much as ebay does. That way you can stay away from the hassle of ebay but still be safe and confident. In the end, it's really your call if you want to trust him or not.

Just go through paypal. If you aren't happy with the product or don't recieve the product for that matter you can always just open a dispute through paypal and get your money back. As a buyer you are alot safer than the seller.

Man , do you know how many buyers don't know this ??
Always want things to be put on eBay . . .
I always ask why ? PayPal is the protection.

In situations like this, ebay is just so much of a hassle lol

eBay acts as a mediator, Paypal acts as a judge.
No reason for you to ask him to list it on eBay.

Yes. He'll still get charged the 2.9% but that is the cost to cover you if something goes wrong.
eBay charges their fee for the marketing and exposure. (Among other things) No need for that. You already found what you need.

On mod squad the person must have a certain number of posts in order to sell, so usually that makes them more trustworthy. If they were just there to scam people they wouldn't be wasting time posting in the threads.

Not to mention that incase you hadn't noticed, everyone here has sold/bought stuff over and over again.

they're the same company and both screw you over in fees,eBay acts as a mediator, Paypal acts as a judge.

Paypal will protect you so long as you don't pay in gift.
Look up his name on the feedback part, that usually can give you insight. You should be fine

I am willing to buy from seller if relatively close to me? And ship to you? If that makes you feel better? No charge!
Good luck!
