Yeah, I guess waiting till the funds are in your bank account is a good thing.

Just curious, what was the buyers feedback like?


I was wrong, write it down, it don't happen often!

Another guy would gloat, and say "I told you so! I told you so!"...but I am not like that!

You guys and your okra-chewing inbred webbed feet and such better stay on your side of that Mason-Dixon Line, understand? I'm sure you've seen THE SOPRANOS and you know things can get rough up here, it ain't Kansas, baby...

PayPal User question
 

Hey look.......that line from Caddy Shack " Rocko and Butch, help the nice Judge find his check book", those words were stolen from
the hands of some close friends of mine, so don't go there!

RN

and hey, I had some pretty good advice for ebay too! I even paid for it! and it was pricie! My treat! Enjoy!

and
 

did I not say I was wrong.............yes I did.
Pick on the other parties, not me and my redneck jew pals!

Hey Easytiger, when you said "you know things can get rough up here", did you mean as in Ralphie's cheese grater? If you watch the Sopranos, you'll know what I mean! Watch out for that hot wax too!

heliboy7

have you gotton your funds in hand? has the jet been shipped?

PayPal User question
 

It's just so mysterious, what happened to Ralphie. And we was planning on going bowling next week!

PayPal User question
 

Go read above, no he did not get his funds...

PayPal User question
 

Wow! things that make you go Hum!

let me check my wallet right quick and make sure my credit card is there!!!!!

has the almost buyer been spoken to since all of this occured?

PayPal User question
 

I would not bother to talk any further with the "buyer". What's the point?

Myself, I never deal with paypal anymore, PERIOD. I had a fellow paypal me money last night ANYWAY, in spite of telling him not to. He's going to have to retreive it, I'm not calling them.
I don't know why people would use paypal for any high ticket item, anyway. Get charged a nice percentage, what for? Go get a cashier's check or money order, and put it in the mail. Express Mail or Fedex if you are in that big of a hurry.

PayPal User question
 

You might be right with high ticket Items,
In my case, its all small amounts which is fine by me. My standoff's are $35.00 plus $8.00 S&H and so are my Fiber Optic extensions.

PayPal User question
 

I can see that. You ought to just protect yourself by taking money out of paypal ASAP. You also ought to look into getting a regular merchant account, which has many advantages, and protects you a whole lot better, as a vendor. Visa will not freeze your entire account when somebody does a chargeback!
As an interesting aside...I used to accept AMEX for my real job, but no more. Somebody did a chargeback, a big one, and AMEX actually wired the money back OUT of my business checking account. We bounced a handful of checks, too. AMEX absolutely knew that the buyer was doing a false chargeback, but THEY were not going to get stuck with the bill. Hence, I have cut up my Amex cards and terminated any relationship with them.
Another Amex horror story, which has relevance, in that you pointed out Paypal's Terms of Service say one thing but Heliboy pointed out that real world experience is quite another...
Many years ago I rented a car with my Amex Gold Card. I used that card specifically because it gives you insurance on rental cards. I waived the rental company's insurance because of this. Naturally, I wrecked the car. Amex refused to pay. In spite of their TOS saying I was covered. Back and forth for about a year. I took them to court. Their lawyer shows up in court with a check for the full amount. They knew they had no case, but they sure TRIED to get out of it. My point being, just because somebody like paypal or amex or whatever says "you are protected" does not really mean all that much.

PayPal User question
 

Krayzc, yes I spoke to the almost buyer & in this case he wanted to overnight a cashiers check, but I took this experience as a sighn to keep my jet & backed out of the deal.
I think its safe to say the best protection you will ever have in this lifetime is COMMON SENSE. Sad , but it is what it is
Jermaine

PayPal User question
 

You said it, common sense. You are most likely right in just letting this deal go...chances are high something could go awry the second time.

RE: PayPal User question
 

Recently I purchased an item on RC Univers and paid for it through PayPal. That was on the 4th of Feburary 04. When I checked on My account on PayPal, it said I had a 0 balance. Did PayPal pay the seller already? I haven't received the item yet. If this is the way PayPal handles the money transfers, then I guess I'll just have to stop doing business with PayPal. Anyone else out there have the same problem?

Larry Wright

RE: PayPal User question
 

if the money is in your account paypal pays for it otherwise they take it one what sources you provided to get the funds ie credit card saving account ect....works great 4 me...[>:]

RE: PayPal User question
 

Larry,

You should have gotten an email from paypal as soon as you
paid the person. Confirming payment. You can also go to
your account at paypal and look at past (all) transactions.
And see where the money was taken from.

You can pay by bank transfer or credit card. Either way
the amount you paid is sent right away. Also contact your
seller and ask him when or if it was sent.
