Huhh?

daydream**believer — Wed, 10 Oct 2012 21:24:11 GMT

So i have a buyer who won something on the weekend. He emailed me and said he was going to pay using bank deposit, which is fine.

Last night i emailed him asking if he had paid yet and he says he's having trouble with his bank account so can he just give me his credit card number and i can take the money out.

What the?

Im right that this cant be done arnt I?

Yes you could, but only if you have a merchant accout and I assume you don't.

Therefore if he want's to pay by credit card, they will have to use a 3rd party payment facilator such as PayPal or Paymate

No, no merchant account.

Ive told them to that if they cant get the bank deposit sorted then they should pay by paypal.

Will see what happens next

He can link the CC to his PayPal account. 🙂

I gave him my paypal addy and he's paid with payal.

Strange he didnt do it through the ebay paypal link.

He rounded the winning amount up and just put an amount in my paypal account and it was actually $2.00 more than he needed to.

I think a buyer can pay through paypal with CC without a paypal account also.

Here’s the worst one

Sold an item – no payment, no checkout, so on 6th day I send a reminder email – get a message back, “my credit card is being renewed, please wait until I get my new credit card on Monday” so I wait, get another email a week later, “I want this item, but I am waiting for my new card” so I send an email saying its only a small amount, why not pay at your bank by bank deposit, or just send me postage stamps – no answer ----- finally opened a dispute, waited 4 days – closed the dispute, blocked the buyer, then two days later, get a message, “got my credit card and I tried to pay today and it won’t let me, please fix” – this is after almost 3 weeks from buying the item

The amount in question? $1.50.
