quick... paypal question

[gopunk]

so if i just sold something, and they paypal'ed me the money, but i haven't shipped it yet since it's sunday night, do i just accept the payment now or do i do that when it ships?

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

dont see any reason for them not to send it now.

 

[gopunk]

er... well they already sent it, but paypal asks me whether i want to accept or decline it...

 

[b0mbrman]

Might as well accept it now.

 

[gopunk]

k, cool

 

[TallBill]

yeah, cant hurt to accept it now.. should soemthin mess up or whatever u can return money

 

[gopunk]

grr. paypal took some money... hmm.

 

[badluck]

It probably asked you to Accept it or Decline it because the buyer doesn't have a Confirmed Shipping Address. As a seller, you aren't guaranteed any protection if you accepted this payment and ship it to a Non-Confirmed Address. I'm just taking a stab at it, does that sound about right? When you clicked accept it asked you if you want to accept a payment from a Non-Confirmed Address??

 

[gopunk]

nah, it was a confirmed address, i think it's standard. i had just never accepted any payments before.

yea i think it's either the confirmed shipping address or he/she's paying with a CC. unless you have it hooked up to your bank acct directly or just have money in your account, it has to clear first via your CC company

you got fees deducted cause you have a premier account...if you don't use it much, you can ask em to revert back to a personal acct. you have a monthly or some other limit on funds but no fees this way
