I've closed the listing as the bike if no longer for sale at this time.

The Nyon will acquire a fix off the bike. I had to put it on the window sill though.

Possibly, but Flecc, who clearly knows his stuff, suggested that even the authorities can be unclear on the law.

Needs to have approval as well. Looks like from the OP you may not be able to trust what the merchant claims about legality.

Interesting. Thanks.

Looks like they are back in business again. I'll bet there is no individual approval for these.

https://www.scootaboot.co.uk/prices If they are classed as e-bkes I wonder why the minimum age of 16? They've got 14 correctly for the bikes.

https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/eco-friendly-scooter-shop-owner-20065046 Action taken here but some of the report does not make much sense. These are twist and go, no pedalling required. (I've been there) yet this seems to imply that TS were only concerned about them possibly beeing derestricted.

Folrgot about the bottles. Still have them, unused.

Are you confusing it with the Charger? At the time that was only configured for dual batteries if you ordered it with the extra battery. Not so the Delite which came configured for two regardless. A buyer will see that the price on the invoice matched the price without extras on that archived page.

It came capable but as I said, the second battery was an option then. £630. https://web.archive.org/web/20170611133148/https://www.r-m.de/en-gb/e-bike/delite/delite-gt-nuvinci/#17D10_05020719

Thanks. The mileage was visible on the Nyone display but I've added to to the description as well. The second battery was a £600 option on that Delite model and I didn't order one.

I'll second that. And it folds up and will fit in a Focus boot as a bonus. So hidden away when you are on the bike.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I've learned some new stuff from the discussion. In the classified advert there is a field for "alternative means of contact". Does anyone know how that works? If I don't put something there is the only means of contact by replying to the post?

Ideally, but you've got to offer Paypal remember. You can't stop a buyer using it.

Items collected or delivered in person are not eligible for Seller Protection so if the payment turns out to be from a hacked account or stolen card you are on your own. No money and no bike. Even with seller protection (i.e. shipped item) "item not as described" cases are not covered. Paypal have a reputation for siding with the buyer in disputes like this. The other scam is return some old rusty hulk or a box of bricks. It's the high value stuff that attracts the fraudsters.

Yes, it looks like you can omit Paypal but when you submit the listing without Paypal checked it gets rejected and you are told you can't list without it. I often wondered why that box even existed but it could be because the same form could be used for the rare listings for which PP is not compulsory, such as cars for example.

Thanks. I will certainly give it a go.

You can add as many permitted payment methods as you wish in adddition to compulsory Paypal. It would be fine if you could refuse a Paypal payment but as far as I know you can't. Can you show me where in Ebay's terms it states that we can refuse to accept a Paypal payment, I may well have missed that. I hope so. Thanks.

I stand ready to be corrected but as far as I know if a buyer wants to pay with Paypal you can't stop them. You have to offer it as a payment method, whereas with cars Paypal is not compulsory so no problem.

According to Paypal, items collected or delivered in person are not covered by seller protection. Nor items paid for directly with a card, e.g. guest checkout. I'm not sure if that would be available to an Ebay buyer or if I can refuse. I've sold loads on Ebay and never worried about it but when you look into it as far as I can see you can be ripped off, despited the protections. Quote: Items that you deliver (or are picked up) in person (except for items for which you received payment through the PayPal Location Based Payments Functionality). Transactions processed otherwise than through the buyer’s PayPal account. For example, if the payment was received as a direct card payment (including through Zong, Website Payment Pro, Virtual Terminal and PayPal Here) or as a PayPal guest checkout transaction, then it is not eligible for coverage.

Thanks. The problem with Ebay is you have to offer Paypal. I would want to be paid by bank transfer. Scammers could use a stolen card to pay and I'm not so sure a seller is protected in that event. There is also the "not as described" scam and returns that are not the item sent. I know it's rare but it's a high value bike and I don't want to take these risks yet.

Hi, Been lurking for a few years and generally came here to keep up to date with the latest developments. Also appreciate the information and opinions given by the many obvious experts here. I'm retired and have two e-bikes, one of which is a folder. I got my first bike in 2017 and I feel the time is right to upgrade to a new model. It is my intention to offer the bike for sale in the classified ads here, rather than take on the risk of an auction site and the potential scammer chargebacks that can happen. So I have a quick question. Does a new member need a minimum number of posts before being allowed to post and advert? Thanks.
