there is quite a lot of dodgey stuff going on in ebay and paypal at the moment. i keep getting iffy emails through people sending a question to the seller and they are nothing to do with the item i am selling.

you know with paypal if the funds to pay arent in your bank you give a credit card for back up? well when someone pays me and some of the money is coming off their credit card pay pal wont let me accept the money from the credit card and tell me ive got to upgrade to the premium account to accept credit card payments. ive now received a payment by pay pal, ive sent the book off and now pay pal wont let me accept the money unless i upgrade. does any one else have this problem?

[Jojo]

I've not come across this yet at all Pookie. I've been lucky enough to have accepted payments for anything I've sold, which have all gone through fine, prior to sending the goods off. There does seem to be a lot of things surrounding the whole upgrading thing now though - it seems as if Paypal is trying to get everyone to upgrade by the seems of it.

Be warned

Today I have received 2 emails, supposedly from Paypal Inc, asking me to follow the link and log into my account, and that if I don't within 24 hrs my account will be closed.

Do not do it....



I have reported both emails to paypal, so they are aware of this, but wanted to warn everyone.

I got them too Em and I don't even have a paypal account so I know it was fake.. I also got one from Halifax and we don't even have one of them in Ireland

Hey Pookie ... its quite common for this to happen with Paypal. with a standard account you can only accept pament from someones bank account, and not any of their cards (even if it is a debit card)

Ive got a premium account though and i dont hink it cost me anything ... the only other thing to do really is not accept paypal payments,as most people these days pay by soem form of card, even through paypal.

hope that helps

I upgraded my account from basic to the next lever (premium? can't remember what its called) and I get charged a certain percentage for recieving all types of payment.

Kind of annoys me because I had to upgrade my account as almost everyone who bought my stuff paid by credit card so effectivly I'm paying for their bank/credit card company to issue the payment. And its against paypal policy to ask buyers to pay the surcharge.

i have another problem with paypal. Every payment i make sits for 10 days(sometimes more) as unclaimed i contacted them and they said it because the seller hasnt accepted the payment. But i just contacted on the sellers and she said the payment it there and paypal are refusing the release the money so its sitting on hers as uncleared?? its not just that one payment i have 5 things waiting to clear and the fund are there so why are they holding on it?

Has anyone had this problem before?
