need paypal help advice

[Chas]

HI and thanks I just joined paypal and am expecting payment on a $450 item I am concerned that once the $ is deposited in my paypal account the guy may pull out after I ship the expensive item . Do I have any cocerns here Is there any heads up I need to know with paypal when selling an expensive item??? Could I ever get screwed once the money is put into my pp account Thanks Chas

If you're that worried about it, withdraw the cash as soon as it shows up in your account

 

[b0mbrman]

But no, I've never had a problem like that and I think it's pretty rare...though I'm sure others can explain otherwise

If you mis-trust the guy that much you shouldn't be dealing with him.

I usually clear out my paypal account right away after receiving money.

just dont do paypal, do snail mail money order. by the way your going to lost about ~9$ in paypal fees. I demote (my opposite word of promote) paypal after someone did a chargeback on me and they did not help me in any way to give me:

1. a straight reason for the chargeback
2. no help on recovering the money
3. no tips what i should do
4. after a week or so later, they left my account as if something was solved.
5. promoting people to abuse their service... more and more people i talk to is encountering this sort of experience.


if you must do paypal, they must be verified in several ways. i dunno, the last that i heard they have to be verified in 2 ways... probably like 6 different ways now... just makes it more confusing and promote the feeling
"this guy is verified, but his address is not, lets send him the money that one type of verification must give me some sort of protection" , but later u'll get screwed

Hi Chas,

Please follow the Seller Protection Policy to a "t". This will prevent issues with claims of non-delivery and credit card fraud.
