Dealing with travelers when selling things

Hi all

I repair and sell on some small tools such as chainsaws, wacker plates and disc cutters.

Sell on eBay and Facebook etc.
Now it sounds bad (maybe even racist?) but generally on Facebook I ignore any Travelers, never had any experience dealing with them but the storys you here has made me avoid it.

Long story short, one has slipped through the net via a eBay guest account, I've called the guy and quickly realised he's a traveller ( trying his best to hide the accent ). He's made some comments about how many I have for sale, and wants to see several.
The worryer in me is thinking he has now seen every thing I have for sale on eBay and will realise I have estimated £3k in small tools in my garage if he comes here.
Strangely he even made a comment about "I'm not going to rob you or anything, I'm a legitimate business", guess I sounded hesitant about the whole thing.

At the moment he hasn't got my address, do I go through with this or block him and move on with life?

Cheers

No, although I did Google his number to see if it was attached any business etc

Nothing

Depending on the cost of the tools and potential for selling multiple items, and how far he is, you could offer to take them to him, or meet in a local industrial estate during office hours so there are people around? Otherwise, block and move on.

If there's any doubt, there's no doubt.

Block and move on, sounds like a pillock!

Do not have anything to do with him-seriously.

Potential for huge downside!

Presumably you don't have an accent that makes people immediately think you're going to rob them.

Are you registered as a business on eBay?

One of the truest things ever said.

I’d be giving this a wide birth if it were me, whether that be at my home address, or meeting on neutral ground.

Anyone that says

is definitely going to rob you.
