Paypal hijinks

Journal Entry: Fri Apr 10, 2009, 3:43 PM
Yeah, see.. That's why I have never taken paypal for payments unless from an actual friend.

It doesn't matter who you are, or who the buyer is. If you're a seller and it's within paypals time limits, any buyer can dick you around once you completed a sale and they can file a complaint to be reimbursed.
Having been told by USPS that they don't guarantee any delivery time within their "estimated" timeframes unless it's NEXT day ($$), there's even more reason never to put myself in that position.

Paypal = Tampered halloween candy. Don't eat it unless you enjoy razor blades. It's not worth the risk.

Do you have an alternative method of payment recommend?

I've heard of that happening on eBay but this is a first for paypal directly.

I'll keep that in mind when I'm ready to order a commission or two from you.
When your schedule allows for it to. ;)

I've never accepted paypal except from very close friends. I've not been in that position yet.

that's good, it's always best to err of the side of caution, especially where money is concerned. -trinity

Huh, I just plug in the tracking/delivery confirmation number and it always gets resolved in my favor. Once I had to scan a receipt in. Anything over $250 needs signature confirmation. I don't see why sellers are having so much trouble with paypal unless they cut corners or don't follow directions for the seller protection.
