Does anyone have a UK ebay account?
« on: April 20, 2011, 07:01:01 am »
I know this may not be the place to ask for this kind of help, so I will understand if this topic is deleted. I found these and they are actually from the 1700's and are listed at an exceptionally low price. I love them and I must have them for my collection! But I don't have a UK account.  :( I will pay someone through paypal if they can help me! You can message me privately if you can help me out.

I just realized that I bet someone can just do the "Buy it Now" part and I can probably pay the seller with my own account and have them ship it to me. So, you wouldn't even have to deal with any money. ;)

hosman, can't you just do it through your own US account?  I've scanned through the UK at times and have even 'Watched" items. Try signing in as you would normally do, it should recognize you........and they do offer shipping to US and Canada. It should work just like 'normal' I would think.

Crisis somewhat averted, I found them on the US site. But the bank account we use for our paypal only has $21 in it so now I have to go to the bank this afternoon and transfer money. Ugh, I hope they will still be there, he requires immediate payment so I can't click buy it now!

I've tried to sign into the UK account before and it wouldn't let me. I'll go try!

Oh my gosh, it really did let me. Why didn't it work before? User error, I suppose. ;)

We have a bank of america California account and all transfers take 3 days and cost $50 each. We really need to switch banks. :P
I hope nobody spots them, each one of those pieces would be $150+ through my regular dealer woman.
And yeah, the other account is through a different bank.  :-\

"We have a bank of america California account and all transfers take 3 days and cost $50 each"  ??? I would be switching banks faster than you can read this. In fact, I do not have any accounts with banks anymore...only credit unions.

Hosman, if you have a credit card and if you want to use it on PayPal, you can BIN and use the credit card. It depends on the level of your PayPal account.

Good luck!

I'll take my 10 seconds and Free any day.......that really is highway robbery! I have my Paypal set up that if the funds aren't in my account it will automatically charge my credit card.

Fingers crossed hosman.  Would love to see you doing your happy dance!  ;)

Doesn`t paypal give you an amount you can use above the actual balance !!  When I look at "limits" at paypal it has $500. on mine and all I ever keep in paypal is a couple of hundred !!

Might be true but I would want to know what interest they will be charging before I would use Paypal's money. I do not think they will let you use their cash for free.
