Ordered from ZipZoomFly

[SirJangly]

Basically, I placed my order by generating a secure card with paypal's plug-in, which is connected to my debit account. I placed the order around 7 hours ago, and it is still "processing." Then I read this on the site:

Electronic Check MUST fulfill the 5 business day processing period. For details on Electronic Check order cancellation, please contact our Customer Service at (510) 897-1890.

Does the secure card count as an eCheck? If so, should I cancel and reorder directly from my debit card? Thanks in advance!

Well, i don't know why you think this is ZipZoomFly customer support forum, but i'll help ya out anyways: give them a call at that number you have.

 

[SirJangly]

Ah sorry. Well I had assumed that they would not be available at this time.

Who the hell uses a debit card for online orders? That's like asking for butt rape.

This. Besides that on big purchases my bank calls me and so does the e-tailer.


Edit: for post below.

Nope, when I order from ZZF I just use my card.

How? I use my debit card or online purchases all the time and I've only had one fraudulent charge, which my bank took care of in about 10 minutes.

Yes, but in all seriousness, am I subject to that 5 day approval because I used a generated secure card, or not?

 

[herrjimbo]

sorry, i don't know what a generated secure card is.

 

[dbk]

I don't think it's an eCheck because it generates a one time number which is like a credit card number. Paypal must use either VISA or MASTERCARD to generate such number right?

Also if you have a bank account and your debit card tied to your account you payments are instant, no?

i believe so. that's why i use it for ebay purchases so i don't have to wait for them to ship my items.

I believe so. I only did this for the 2% cashback. I am a bit worried though, as I payed for overnight delivery, and would like this asap!

 

[herrjimbo]

let us know how it goes. if you've got to wait 5 days, get a refund on the overnight delivery charges.

It sure was really difficult to find the answer. Go to Paypal help and search for secure card.

What is a Secure Card and how does it compare to the virtual Debit Card?

Question :
Answer :
Secure Cards are virtual MasterCard debit card numbers that function just like the Virtual Debit Card. Secure Cards have replaced the Virtual Debit Card.

If it's a virtual MasterCard, then it won't be subject to any check holds.

Well it refers to overnight after it is shipped, not from ordering. I am debating whether or not to just cancel and reorder using my normal debit. I have NEVER had this problem before though

Yeah, except you're out REAL MONEY until Visa gets it sorted out. What if it doesn't get sorted out?

If I'm going to play with fire, I'd rather do so with e-money than real money.
