Paypal ?

[mellowyellow]

just took an order from a university in Germany<br />and the guy paid me with paypal through his credit<br />card. waited until the money was transferred from<br />paypal into my bank account before shipping, but<br />curious what would happen if he called the CC co.<br />and told them he wanted to cancel? not that I think<br />he wants to scam me, buy more int. in C-MY-A$$.<br />thanks,<br />M.Y.

Re: Paypal ?

Paypal used to have issues with European customers (my PayPal account has never been able to complete one single payment) but recently they've established a separate Europe operation.<br /><br />I think the detailed conditions can be found on PayPals agreement paper. Security is a main concern for all online payment services. As I understand it the seller is safe when PayPal recognize the payment even if theamount hasn't actually arrived at your bank account.

Re: Paypal ?

thanks UU, it's just a bit hard to collect $ from<br />Germany if something goes wrong. buy a couple<br />servers from me and we'll see if your paypal works<br />as well. LOL<br />(jk) <br />regards,<br />M.Y.

once the money is in your paypal account, it's yours.

Re: Paypal ?

MY - make sure you have proof of shipment and POD if you can get it. That is key if there is a dispute. I had it happen once and that was the first thing they asked for.

"once the money is in your paypal account, it's yours"<br /><br />Furthest thing from the truth. The sender can cancel the transaction, or the CC charge and the money is debited from you.<br /><br />-Roger

Re: Paypal ?

CCrew is correct.<br />He can do a chargeback on his CC. I don't fully understand how that works. <br /><br />You've probably seen some EBay sellers that won't accept credit card transfers due to the possible chargback.<br /><br />How's his feedback? That's your key.<br />If it makes you feel better, I'd call his issuing bank (if you know it) or PayPal themselves. <br />PayPal's security is better than a rabid Rotweiller on steroids! <br />I've had excellent customer service from them.<br /><br />You could also take all the money out of your PayPal account and wait to see what happens.<br />If PayPal tries to get the money back, they can't. Ultimately it would freeze your account though.<br /><br />EDIT:<br /><br />Oops! didn't see that you already transfered the money to your bank account.<br />If you have a credit card or debit card tied to PayPal, then It's possible they can get the money back that way if a chargeback occurs.<br /><br />I assume you have a checking account tied to PayPal as well? I'm not sure if PayPal can take it that way either.<br /><br />I use 'virtual' card numbers when dealing with anything on the internet, so there would be no way they could take money from me (once I have it off PayPal). <br />Maybe you can set something like that up on your PayPal, or remove whatever card that is tied to your PayPal account?<br /> <br />I'd just give them a call to ease your worry.<br /><br />H.
