Selling Private Plate (eBay)

[757]

HI,

I am sure this has been mentioned, I have searched but I want a specific question answering.

I have just sold my private plate on ebay, it is already retention, I have the (V778 Retention Document) and the (V750 - Certificate of Entitlement)

Now, the plate has sold and payment has been sent.

What is the next process? Can I just simply send one of the above documents in the post now, or will the plate still be in my name 'this is the confusing part'

Thanks for you help.

How did they pay? If delivery needs a tracking number then post with tracking. Don't give them a photo of the cert if the delivery needs tracking otherwise you could be scammed.

Once you are sure you have payment then send them the retention certificate (physical or photo).
It will still be in your name on the cert until they assign it to a vehicle.
They can assign it to their vehicle using the cert (even though it is in your name).

Thanks all, yes payment has been received, I sent the retention document, as special delivery, signed for, so all should be fine in this regard.

Not sure why this got me confused, but it did a little, just need to make sure you have your money first in your bank, then they can do what they want.

I would never send any docs without payment first, as yes scammers can do what they want with the numbers needed for DVLA assignment.
