Buying & Selling Online using Paypal

[mike]

assuming he pays both installments, this situation works in your favor if anything as paypal does not cover disputes over multiple payments for the same item. it sounds legitimate anyways, i would just not ship the item until it is completely paid for.

he can pay you through PayPal but does not have to pay you via an eBay invoice

give him your PayPal email address, and have him make his two payments. after they are clear and in your account, you simply "Mark Item As Sold" in eBay

then, as mike stated, if something goes bad it is in your favour as they will not bother with claims for multiple payments for single item

I'm always confused, as a seller, how to protect their own rights. If someone send the money by "purchase goods". When I can withdraw funds to my bank account? When the deal is finished? Coz my friend have a bad sell experience on ebay, after he shipped item, the cheater apply to refund money and successed. Until now, he still can't understand how the cheater done.

Hi guys

How do I tell if someone paid me as gift ?

Will their address not show up ?

If you don't provide a tracking number and some kind of proof of postage, Ebay/Paypal will automatically assume you did not send the item.

It'll still show up like any other payment.

Well for this recent payment i just received

It just said instant , and no shipping/deliver address

[Rosenrot]

Ah right okay, I thought you meant email address. You'd need to request for the mailing address personally. Just make sure that the money is already in your account.

It won't give you the option to purchase shipping.

[Raw]

Yes that's a gift payment.

hi there,

has anyone else experienced problems with "bill me later"?

the last three times i purchased something on ebay, i intentionally switched the funding source from "bill me later" to my bank account. however, the items are still being charged to bill me later despite my switching the source at the time of checkout!!

i used to be able to specify which source i wanted to pay from (bank account, bml, or credit card) but now it seems as if I have no choice.

Is it only me, or has anyone else suffered from what the Paypal customer service, as well as the Paypal technical staff, refers to as a security system bug that hinders you from accessing your funds and makes us recommending you to seek elsewhere for your online payments?

[michael_kard]

I have had many problems with them and have occasionally received rather low quality customer service, but that's absurd!

[destroymebaby]

Yeah, well. Trusted them enough to take their advise though: Took my business elsewhere.

off topic

Not sure if someone else mentioned it in this thread, but I read an article recently about the option to bypass PP's currency conversion, which rapes you, and have the transaction changed to your card in the original currency (if applicable of course). The option is present on the screen where you select which account/card you want to pay with.

Possibly/probably obvious, but not something I had noticed before.
