    i use paypal for the first time.
    My bike will be selled for a big amount.
    The man who says that the money foe my bike is on my account ask me to pay 1300eu on western union bank for shipment before paypal release my money on my account. Is this correct?

    In my opinion NO !


    I dont get why you have to send him the shipping cost....and I have not heard of PayPal providing service to hold money till product is delivered.


    Safer to use Escrow.com.

    This is how Escrow works:
    Buyer pays Escrow > Escrow will hold payment > You ship the product > Buyer confirms taking delivery of the product > Escrow pays you

    Note: There is a fee involved in Escrow but you have option to chose if seller pays or buyer pays or both split the fee 50:50. https://www.escrow.com/support/calculator.asp

    No, dont believe that.
    rajanurs is right, use escrow for the big amount transfer
