Pm means personal message using the inbox in the top right corner.
Not sure about payment.

Easiest choices re payment are pay pal, bank transfer or cash .

Bearing in mind if you accept PayPal as a seller, you'll be charged so be sure to add the fees to the selling price. Personally BT or cash on collection only for me. People get scammed using PayPal and despite payibg fees you are not being protected whatever they may claim

Am a bit worried about giving my bank details

Why? The worst someone can do is pay money in. You presumably give your bank details to numerous faceless organisations susceptible to data protection issues when you set up a direct debit or standing order

If concerned take the hit with PayPal but you have to give your bank details to them too if you ever want to withdraw the money

Thanks, I think I will do that. Your right about DD and standing orders.

I thought Paypal was free if you send money to a friend ?

When you open an account the bank gives you a hundred pieces of paper with that information on, and encourages you to hand them out to other people.

Except you have no protection with PayPal gift if the item never shows up, as its for sending money to someone you know and not a stranger on the Internet. That's what 'full' fee PayPal is for, I.e. This situation. I think also with PayPal gift if you want to pay with a credit card rather than funds you may have in your account (of which I have none as I avoid PP if I can) you get charged

It's 20+ years since I opened a bank account, no idea!

Well yeah, it's getting on for that long since people routinely used chequebooks but you get my point .

They're referring to a cheque book

Fek , I never knew that , I must have paid a few charges thinking it was free as I never have funds in PP.
