My mum is selling a treadmill on ebay - and someone has asked to view. She's expecting around £1000 for it, so I guess it's a fair question.

What are the PHer's thoughts on allowing a viewing?

Whats the difference between this and say, an ad in a paper?

Of course.

No. Refuse point blank. Tell him he is stupid for asking.

Watch the bidding reach about £1.04 wink

There is a button for emailing the seller which people click on.

People then ask for viewing , simple

One assumes that an object of that size will need to be collected anyway, and it would probably be more secure for you to deal with cash rather than feck about with Paypal. So I don't see the problem really.

Just arrange by email and make sure there's someone with you when they come around.

I think he means "ped" as in "foot", because it's a treadmill.
