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.

Dear agilentused,
Hi,
OK, I agree with you, and accept the deal of the N9923A with ALL
options fitted at $14,780 + 20% sales TAX, bringing this to a total of
$17,736.
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?

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?
Regards,
Julian

Dear agilentused,
Hi Julian,
Do you regularly take Paypal in multiple payments and find it is OK? 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.

I'm just amazed Aligent doesn't take credit cards directly. Paypal is
for small time players.
