Paypal users?


LOGIE

Recommended Posts

I've only recently started using paypal and I made a purchase yesterday through Whifbitz (I know Paul's on holiday till 29th) My paypal account is saying that the payment is successful. Does Paul need to accept the payment before my balance drops? as my balance has not changed..:blink:

But once your money is gone... who's to say you can have it back? That's the only benefit of Paypal really.

 

oh ill make sure of it alright, :D

 

I would never do a bank transfer again, Gruggs, ( Graeme ) made sure of that.

 

i think your's was a once off dude, i still think Gryggs will come through, even though its soooo late

The length of time payment takes to arrive depends on how the payment is sourced. If you are using a switch card from an unconfirmed bank account then it is like a cheque, i.e. he is told the money has arrived but it doesn't reflect in his balance. If payment is made from a confirmed address then it is instant.

 

Paypal is expensive but it is the way of eBay and it is very pro buyer.

I think people are generally too trusting of other members. Just because you are in the club doesn't mean you won't steal/murder/sell dodgy cars. (Just a thought, not specially related to Gruggs).

I can partly agree with this, with me it all depends on the feedback a member has. I would never send money trough paypall to a member with 0 or even 2 positive feedbacks. Sometimes it takes members so long to send something it makes you wonder if you just got ripped off. But on the other hand a member with 50 positivs is not a 100% reliability either. I do have more trust in members that have a long history on the forum, maybe not fair to the new users but that's the way it is i guess.

Well from my experience it is usually the guys who are "trusted" on the site that end up taking advantage of it or upsetting people. We need to remember that behind the avatars are real people with very different lives and probably very different personalities to their forum selves. Just my opinion

My paypal has always been instant, have you confirmed your bank account through paypal?

 

Yeah im going through the confirmation process now i.e. awaiting for two small deposits from paypal to verify my account. All is good though the money went to whifbitz account this AM. Just waiting on goods now.
