Paypal question ....
I do not allow Credit Card payments through Paypal. And as usual, I have a WHOLE LOT of people who do not read my item descriptions on Ebay or my notification letter. With the long preamble, here finally is the question:
If I deny a credit card payment on Paypal, do the senders have that amount as a balance in their account or is the amout simply refunded to their credit card? Just wondering. |
JimmyWong, if you read the help section on Paypal's website, it is clearly explained that denied credit card payments are credited back to the payer's credit card account!
The problem with Paypal is that they consider DEBIT cards which are linked to a checking account only as BEING A CREDIT CARD, so yes, you may have customers paying you with their debit card and you would be unable to collect (unless you pay Paypal's fees) even though the customer has strictly speaking not paid you with a credit card! Read Paypal's Help section, you should find answers to the most common situations. |
I have a PayPal seller's account, but I don't use it very much. Can you enlighten me? Why do you refuse cc payments through PayPal?

Originally posted by spyzdope PayPal does not charge a fee if you only accept funds from PayPal balances or from or bank transfers. If you accept payment through cc, you have to pay them a fee (think it's 30 cents plus around 3%). Personally, I think that my auctions garner more bids if I accept cc payments, so I'm willing to pay the fee. |
Unless PAYPAL has changed recently, a seller with a Premier or Busniness account will pay a fee regardless of the source - whether a credit card, Paypal balance, a bank transfer - with the exception of an e-check. Why an e-check is an exception is beyond me - it's really no different than a bank transfer. I have had money transferred to me using all methods and I have verified that what I've said is true - unfortunately. My opinion is that only a credit card payment should be charged a fee as this fee is charged to PAYPAL by the credit card companies and PAYPAL is, after all, only a service and should not have to accept that cost.

Re: Paypal question ....
Here's a Paypal question, I transferred money three days ago from Paypal to my back account, it's said complete for the past day but doesn't show up in my bank account, I'm starting to wonder if something is wrong.

Re: Paypal question ....
Depends on your bank. Some banks process transfers like that faster than others. Paypal will say complete once they've sent it, but that doesn't mean your bank has done their part yet. If you don't see it by Monday I'd call your bank.

I now get to call YOU out for not reading your eBay/Paypal agreement, which explicitly states that if you accept Paypal, you cannot limit how people pay you on Paypal, which means they get to use credit cards. So you know, glass houses and all. |

Interesting how you call out your buyers for not reading your item descriptions.
