This is some of the communication between me and Agilent on eBay. I think it is clear Agilent wanted to use Paypal, and I did not. It was Agilent who said I should split the payment into two - one of $10,000 and the other of $7,736
Credit cards were not mentioned, but this would have been above the limit of my credit card limit anyway. I believe in the UK there is some protection with debit cards, although credit cards are certainly safer.

However, this is over the limit I can pay via Paypal, which is $10,000. I think it would be better if you sent me the bank details so I can do a wire transfer, but you will need to give me some refernece number so you can tie up the payment at your end. If not, how else do you suggest I pay you? Dave - drkirkby ============================================= Hi Dave, thanks for your understanding. We would prefer the handling on Paypal. One possibility, just issue one payment of $10000 and one of $7736. Would that work for you?

I have read a few stories on the internet about Paypal can get quite difficult over large payments - freezing peoples Paypal accounts, holding their money, and it taking ages to sort out. That's what concerns me - especially if the $10000 goes through, but I can't get the rest to you. It could be a bit tricky. But I know you sell expensive stuff on eBay, so if you have a lot of experience with large sums, I'll try Paypal.
