Advice on private sales

[GSCUprising]

Hi all,

 

Well, I am looking at a potential move back to Denmark from the UK, a place I miss a lot. If you've never been, I cannot recommend it highly enough though I admit I have a bias.

 

Anyhow, I am presently divesting myself of various bits in order to reduce the amount of stuff I will cart over there in the event I actually do it. 

 

I have a tonne of miniatures, many of which I've never touched since I bought them, so I thought I might as well sell them off to go to the moving fund. Stuff like a FW Phantom Titan, Scorpion and Cobra tanks, DE Reaper, Tantalus,  etc.

 

I won't be posting links to sales here as I imagine that'll go against B&C's TOS. Instead, what I am looking for is advice both generally and from personal experience using services like eBay, for example. What are the pitfalls? How might I possibly get scammed? What should I avoid? Which payment systems are better? I am already well-versed in distance selling regs with work, so got that covered. The other bits, though, I would welcome advice. 

 

Thank you.
