tyrantblade Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 Just wanted to say that PayPal is terrible, my whole week has been ruined by them keeping money from me that I have earned, they have ruined a hobby of mine (it went from being fun to completely terrible, and why bother selling things when you cant have the money from it?) And they can keep this BS Dispute up for another 2 weeks Good job ruining my life over a $17.20 profit margin from a $50 sale, when there was no dispute over a $480 sale But sure, I ripped off a customer in a $50 sale that took $32.80 to make Obviously people spend 2/3rds of the money they expect to make to RIP people off, right?

mymanmatt Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 At times it can be very frustrating. They are on the side of the buyer. But, as long as you know the rules you can play by them. The buyer has plenty of time to decide if he or she is satisfied with their purchase. If they complain, paypal will put a hold on your account for that amount. However, if it is gift or friends and family, they do nothing. If the buyer doesn't want to use gift, then don't make the sale. That's pretty simple. It's still a great way to get paid. Good luck to all of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but that would probably severely limit the amount of sales I would make as I would probably run into an awful lot of people that see refusal to take G and S as some sort of admission of a grand scheme to rip them off. Anyways, I just dont feel like continuing with sales for that hobby anymore It isnt worth this kind of hassle and I just dont feel like my heart is in it anymore I feel like I would just be better off not using PayPal anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porschespeedster Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Yep, one can't use PayPal or eBay if you want to sell and avoid even bogus charges from customers. In short, PayPal is for buying, not selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I know that now It used to be they weren't so skeptical of whether or not you gave the customer what they paid for; but now as soon as customer says you left out part of the package they take the buyers side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 I've had another Italian customer file a PayPal claim last night, even though I offered to take another look at their watches, and repair under warranty.Sent from my TA-1033 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
