ebay advice

[z1000]

I have "won" a ticket for System of a Down , Friday , Brixton Academy , and am having trouble contacting the seller.

Obviously time is of the essence as the ticket is worthless if I don't receive it in time.

For the sake of £25 I'm prepared to take a chance as he seems to have top feedback over 2 years or so.

Am I, 1. going to get quicker results by Paypal

2. better of sending a building society cheque first class

3. am I throwing away £25 :paperbag:

Regarding option 1 ,is payment fairly instantaneous and does it offer me any kind of protection ? [small]:runforcover:[/small]

Paypal is instant. Its a sister company of eBay and they offer protection up to £400 (I think). I have used it many times for sending and recieving payment.

if you are going to use paypal then you need to set it up first. it only requires a few email confirmations and an automated phone call. but you need to do that before you can send money with it.

if you send via a cheque then you may not get the tickets in time, as the seller wont send them to you untill your cheque has cleared (probably a couple of days)
