OT: Has anyone ever had an eBay buyer ask to pay for an item in installments?
Wasn't sure where to post this, since it doesn't really fit in the Water Cooler section.
I was contacted by an eBay buyer interested in an item I have listed. He made an offer, I countered. He then messaged me asking if he could pay me in installments over the course of a 4-6 months until the item was paid off? He says that he is acting on behalf of a library. Has anyone ever done such a deal on eBay? I thought eBay had their own installment payment kind of deal.

That's what credit cards are for. A built in installment payment program.

I have done this as a buyer many times. In fact I have a current deal pending with 3 payments to go.

I closed the item on Ebay and he made payments through PayPal, if I remember correctly......It went perfectly, but I guess there could have been problems?

I've seen sellers offer this before on BIN auctions where the price is inflated a bit. I think eBay seller Mike Denero (sp?) offers that on his eBay listings. I've never used it before, but I can understand why he offers it if it moves more cards.

Personally, through Ebay I wouldn't do it. Ebay just has way to many loopholes, rules, requirements, etc to take the risk. However, if someone from this site needed to make payments over time, i would work with them on it. Likewise I've had people on this site hold cards aside for me until I could pay for them. In all cases, make sure everyone knows the game plan upfront and don't send the card until payment has been made in full.

Yes I have. He wanted to do two payment about two months apart. It worked out fine. I did not ship until the second payment cleared.

I am just a buyer on ebay but often see and get offers from sellers I purchase from to make payments over time, especially on larger items. I fortunately do not need to use them but not surprised some buyers ask for it if they are seeing what I see

I've had buyers make monthly installments through Paypal.

As a seller, I did a non-eBay 2x payment on a large lot. Half the lot sent after the first payment, half the lot sent after the second.

He should just sign up for PayPal Credit if he's eligible. The 6 month interest free on purchases over $99 has floated many of my bigger buys.

I've done it on BST a few times with large purchases.

As a buyer I've made payments on an item a few times but only if it's interest free. If I have to pay interest to someone I might as well use a credit card, which I refuse to do for hobby/collectible purchases.
