Does anyone know how to make a money transfer from UK account to a German account?


I've tried contacting the seller to clarify but won't respond to my emails and now has created a dispute with me. I do want the item but am struggling to see how to resolve this.


Anyone ever done this type of transfer before?

The first thing you must do is respond to the ebay dispute. If you do not do this then the seller will be able to neg you and there is nothing you can do about it (i.e. you will not be able to neg back). Then you will be deemed to be a "non paying bidder" and your ebay status will be affected and you will most likely get negative feedback. So do it.


If your seller has not responded it may be that your email has been sent to his/her spam folder. This happens all the time and it is annoying. Frankly it is up to the individual to check their spam folder regularly but that doesn't always happen.


You should contact the seller again, this time via ebay. Go into one of that seller's current auctions and click on "ask seller a question". The seller will receive that e-mail. I guarantee it. Explain that your other e-mails have gone unanswered. If the seller does not have any current auctions then you can still send a message through ebay but the route to the link is not as clear cut.


Explain that you would like to pay through Paypal. You can pay by bank transfer if you call your bank to set it up but it will cost you about ?20 - ?30 depending on the amount of the transacton. You will have to go down this road if the seller won't accept Paypal so ask for Paypal first.


If you do make payment using Paypal then please - this is very important so listen up - ensure that you empty your Paypal account of any cash that might be in it and that the payment is made by credit card (albeit through Paypal). Making payment by credit card gives you extra protection in case the good do not turn up.


BTW - many ebay sellers talk all sorts of crap about "not being responsible in case of loss in the post". Not true. The seller is totally responsible. This is why you should pay by credit card through Paypal - if the goods do not arrive or they are not as described (e.g. they are fake) then you can open a dispute with Paypal and/or your credit card company and claw back the money.


Good luck.




Contact your seller again

Definitely respond to dispute, keep correspondence. Do they have good feeback 99%-100%? If so paypak or pay via credit card. If not look at comments and see if they concern you, if so contact ebay. Other options if no credit card or paypal, old fashioned international money order? Cheaper than international money transfer which is electronic. Chaps/Bacs tend to only work in the UK.

Ive done a fair few transactions with germans on ebay, and i can say that alot of them do not use paypal for ebay transactions.


The cheapest thing to do is ... go to the bank and ask for a relay payment it costs ?10, you need an iban and swift code, normally the seller will easily provide this to you.

Thanks Guys - I will drop her another email today. The Shabbey have now said they will do it for a ?25 charge .. if I wanted to pay that much in total I would have simply gone to the right shop instead of ebay. Final price was only 33 Euros.


I have 100% feedback from hundreds of transactions bought and sold and never had to endure this rubbish ... ho hum. Another lesson learnt.

    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
