Bear with me because I buy a lot more on ebay than I sell, and I havent sold anything for a good while.
I sold some concert tickets last night, the person who bought them did the "buy it now" thing, which is fine with me, but he/she hasnt bought or sold anything before on ebay (as in it looks like a new account just to buy my tickets) I put the paypal option as the payment method, am just being wary because of his/her lack of history, once I have the money in my paypal account then its all ok and safe and I have my money/can send them the tickets yes? Or do I have to wait a couple of days to "clear" it? Basically can someone remind me how it works? |

If they did a buy it now through ebay the transaction should have been immediate? No? *confused*
TBH I am in a foul mood with ebay - they owe me about £40 and keep dodging my emailed questions... I think I'm on email 16 to them. It's not fun. |

They can still put in a claim against you using Paypal and possibly get their money back by claiming the tickets were forgeries for example.

Yep its so very easy to get done over on ebay via this route. It's another reason most sellers ship by recorded delivery now. IE the buyer claims they never received the item. With someone with 0 feedback I would see if you can cancel their bid and relist.

when I had the email this morning to say they had sold, I then had to click through on my end to send them an invoice, so does that mean they dont have paypal? I am sending them recorded delivery but obviously not until I have received any monies and they have cleared. They weren't bought until like 2am and the day before they sent me a message asking if it was two tickets and were they still for sale.

Paypal is not worth **** but you have offered it as an option so you are ****ed Basically. Buyer can pay then get goods then get his money back no probs it is complete ****e.
Next time don't use paypal, The sooner everybody stops using it the sooner they will sort it. |

What you could do is add a note with the invoice that goods will Not be dispatched until cash has cleared from Paypal, If buyer wants a quicker way then email you for arrangements. Jobs a good'en.

I just got this
Quote:
The concert is on the 20th so shes gonna need the tickets soonish. Shall I contact her and ask her to leave me the feedback so I can get the money out, or because im sending them recorded delivery will that cover me if she does a runner with the tickets and then tries to get her money back? |

Doesn't make a difference if it clears from Paypal, if Paypal were to decide to refund the buyer for whatever reason they'd just stick the account in the negative and hassle you to pay off your debt.

So I should just take the risk, send her the goods and hope that she isnt trying to pull a fast one?
Its very annoying looking at 77 quid in my paypal that I cant draw out. |
