Waiting for Paypal

JMCGrogan has the right approcah. PayPal are pirates, I got burned on a Seiko watch and they did *nothing* to help. Use a separate, PayPal-specific account and xfer the money ASAP. Then ship the item. Do NOT trust their dispute resolution process, it is bogus and, essentially, worthless...

Paypal not anybodys pal!!!

Yes, transfer the money immediately from PP to your bank acct. But that transfer takes 2 to 3 days before you see it in the bank.

Usually I wait to ship until paypal posts to my account. Paypal cannot take money out of my money market even in the event that I am wrong since I set it up with my bank. I transfer the money from savings to money market then ship. I also tie a credit card to it. All someone has to do is to hack into your paypal account and add a couple of fake addresses then buy something and have it sent there (like a vacant lot) the post man will take it back to the local post office then the crook will try to pick it up. I had 1674 taken from my bank account (I did not have the time to transfer it into my money market) but my bank got the money back pretty quickly. I do feel sorry for the merchant that was out the money for the 2 items purchased by the crook. Paypal told me that they would prosecute the person once they traced them, but would not help me find out who they are so I could sue them due to privacy rights. Can you beleive that s--t! I guess they want their money so badly that they wouldn't even help out the merchant. Like Elizabeth, use your credit card company if using paypal. Also check out paypalsucks.com I know I'm sometimes controversial if I don't beleive that certain tweeks or upgrades work, but for everyone that IS honest, be careful!
