Dear Yuks1351,
Some seller allow Cash On Delivery (COD) as payment option. You need to clarify it with the seller before you bid for the item.
I hope the information helps.
Cheers, 🙂

Dear yuks1351,

Most of the sellers don't accept Cash on Delivery payments above Rs.500/-.

One of the reason is electronic goods are not accepted at Indian Postal Services.

But few sellers do offer COD. Before committing to purchase, clarify with your seller. ---------------

Hi,

Before you bid on the item check if Cash on Delivery is accepted by the seller for your location. Some sellers even offer "Buyer Picks up and Pays" mode of delivery where you can check the item before paying. Such a delivery mode is useful when you are from the same city. The best is to contact the seller to know the possibility and the details of such delivery. .

Dear yuks1351,

Hello,

There are not many Sellers who offer COD.

So, if COD is your only option then you have limited Items to choose from.

Buying though Credit card is quite safe.

Just look at the benefits of paying through Credit Card via PaisaPay....

Traceable

Immediate & convenient

Payment is deposited directly into the seller's account

Pay directly from the item listing page

Secure: Sellers don't see your credit card number (it is safely encrypted).

Automatic payment tracking.

Covered under eBay Standard Purchase Protection Program.

Also that the Credit Card purchases are protected by Card Companies too.

Just protect the last three digits (after 16 digits) of your card so that no one mis-uses it.

Hi,

As said by Umang, Paying through Credit Card is the safest.

The product will also be delivered soon since it will be shipped via couriers or speed post.

Cash On Delivery will be normally shipped with VPP and it doesn't reach you soon.

So don't worry and go ahead with the credit card. ---------------

Hi,
Credit card is the easiest and safest way to pay for auctions.
1. If you pay cash there is no record.
2. If you pay by Money order , still there is not much record and it is hard to prove and even harder to get the money back.
3.Personal cheques...you can trace which account it went to, still cannot claim the money back.
4 COD can be a cumbersome process. Most sellers hate it and your choices will be limited. And also seller can send you a faulty item and you pay when it is delivered to find an item which is not working. You are left with no choice to claim your money back.

Credit cards, if you pay through paisa pay you are not giving your number out and you are protected by ebay.
Also if anything goes wrong you can do a charge back from your credit card company and you are also protected by insurance which comes along with your credit card against unauthorized transactions.
If you want to really avoid credit cards, the best option is to use Paisapay debit card facality. When you are trying to pay, you are taken to your bank's internet banking interface, where you can login only if you type in your internet banking ID which will not be transmitted to anyone , ( not even paisa pay).

I have been doing ebay since 1998 and have used so many different credit card processors including Paypal, ebay, money bookers , Nochex , Bidpay, Paisapay, PPPpay. As long as you are Prudent, there is no way you lose money on Ebay or any other ecommerce sites.

I have bought & sold on eBay now for over 5 years, I have 406 100% Positive Feedback. I accept only Paypal, as the seller, I see nothing but the buyers delivery address and the fact that Paypal has received and depoisterd into my Paypal account the funds. As a buyer, the seller get only my address and the fact that Paypal received my payment. What's the problem?
