Risky Purchase - UPDATED

Will the paypal be a cash transfer from a balance or pushed through to a credit card?

It's setup to a bank account right now. I guess I could disable that function for this purchase.

Ive only had one time where the seller didn't deliver, I opened a paypal grievance and eventually got my money back, about a month and a half later. It was not a pleasant experience. After that, I've stayed away from low feedback sellers.

Did the seller list any other cards at the same time?

If you do decide to take this risk, I would definitely not pay until you contact the seller, and try and get as many details and info from him that you can. If the seller is unresponsive or evasive, DO NOT PAY. You may even try to get him on the phone to feel him out. It sort of also depends on how much the item cost. Good luck.

yes, in order to be completely protected, and have piece of mind, make sure
to send payment with a credit card connected to the account. Hope it all
goes well and you don't even have to file a claim.

Yes, you need to make this PP purchase with a CC. That way you have the coverage of the credit card compnay in addition and I would even say primary to the coverage provided by PP.

Any feedback on if this deal turned out OK or not?

BAD IDEA
stay away

very rare a legit seller would try to sell an expensive card before selling a few smaller items to get the feedback score up

i have over 1000 tranasaction on EBAY as a buyer and NEVER GOT BURNED..this happens by being very careful who you buy from....

rule 1: NEVER BUY FROM less than 3 feedback person
