New credit card payment option

maplegrovemusic,

ask the buyer for his contact #. Then, you guys can sort out any logistics.
Nothing wrong with having a cc account address that differs from some other address (personal, business, residence).

Happy Listening!

I have spoken with the buyer previous to posting this inquiry . He wants me to ship the amps to an apartment in Ney York City to have the amps converted to 220 volt . He then plans on shipping them to a "friend" in Israel . This is my only concern really . Who's on the hook if they do not make it to Israel ? Also there are many different credit card companies . Who's policies are these transactions falling under ? Is it different for each card ? Is it Audiogon who makes the rules ? The buyer did state he is fine with me shipping to his address which is listed with the sale but prefers the techs house who will work on the amps . He stated it is an hour drive and getting the big heavy mono blocks there would be simpler shipping . I agree , but in the past using Paypal you had to ship to a Verified address .

This can be a red flag. I once sold some camera gear on eBay and the buyer wanted to ship it to his non-eBay address. Later the credit card transaction comes back declined and it comes out the use of the card was not authorized. With credit cards it can be a few weeks before you find out the transaction has gone bad this way.

You best run from that sale as soon as ya can!

If buyer wants special consideration, ask them to use a bank wire instead of CC.
