for a paypal invoice. The seller has said that they have had similar problems with Ebay and have given me their email address to complete the transaction. It doesn't sound right to me. I am new to having to sort out this kind of situation. Your assistance would be appreciated, Cheers Kathleen

Hello, I went to pay for an item today and it already has the little $ sign and when I hover over it, it tells me that Seller has marked as payment received. I have not paid for this item so then marked it as Unpaid so that the PAY NOW option comes up, but when I hit PAY NOW I get the following message... You have already completed checkout for this order. You can view your order details below to see payment information and postage status for your items. Can anybody help me???

An ebay member has sold me an item, described as brand new. When I received it ,it didn't want to start up, or work at all. I have asked to refund the paid money. back into my Paypal account. This has been refused, quoting ''I do not do refunds as I do not accept them''. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. Maria

Hi, I won an item on Ebay and paid for it on the 3.1.13. Apparently I didn't have enough funds in my account and each time Paypal tries to access my account the bank sends me an overdrawn fee. I won't be able to put the money in until the 17.1.13..$50.99 I have rung Paypal twice and asked them to cancel the payment but they said they couldn't. I rang my bank too but they told me to get paypal to cancel the payment. What can I do????? Thanks

I haven't had the option to send an invoice before as all other people who have bought from me pay straight away - yeah, lucky me! But, for this one item I now have this option. I don't want to seem impatient with the buyer but worry if I don't that they won't pay until I do. Has anyone got any advice?

Hi, i was thinking of bidding on a caravan but buyer has said who ever pays with paypal he is going to add 5% on top of the end price i told him your not allowed to charge buyers your paypal fees.this is part of there description. WE ACCEPT PAYPAL GRACIOUSLY, HOWEVER IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE THIS METHOD OF PAYMENT AN ADMINISTRATION FEE OF 5% WILL BE ADDED TO THE FINAL SALE PRICE. IF YOU PAY VIA BANK DEPOSIT OR CASH ON PICK UP, THEN THIS FEE WILL BE WAIVED. They shouldn't be allowed to threaten people with paypal fees if some one wants to pay nuy a safe method why should they have to pay the sellers fees can they be reported as ebay don't seem to take much notice.

An item I sold in early December has now been paid after opening an upaid item case. In my paypal acc the order/status says issue/refund. Is this request from the buyer or an option that is always there? Communication with the buyer has been sparse to say the least and I have not received any messages from them at all that they have paid and want to arrange pick up. The item is a dining table & chairs. Just want some advise before I contact buyer. Cheers

The successful bidder has requested to pay cash at pick up, however we have selected paypal as the payment option. Can we change this now from paypal payment option to cash payment on pick up.

I purchased an item for £983 plus shipping of £50 The item bidding looked like nibbling or shilling but as I wanted the item I went ahead with the purchase. After I paid for the item the seller told me shipping was £150 I told her I was unhappy with this. She said she had shipped the item but would cancel the purchase if I wanted. I decided to cancel the item asthe experience has spoilt the item for me and she said that as it had already been shipped and I have to refuse to pay customs or not accept delivery and the item would be returned to her. She would then refund my payment of almost AU $1700 How do I ensure I get my money back - have others had this happen ?

Is the paypal cost = current ebay AUD cost multiplied by a % + fixed cost? What is the % and flat fee? THANKS, Edward

I have had to put my store on holiday mode for the past few months due to a family illness. I have been paying my fees during this time. Can I close my store to avoid paying store fees and will I lose all my ebay feedback that I have accoumalated over time. I would like to reopen my store at a later time. Thank you.

Ok I was happily selling on ebay when this scammer bought $260 item, then he claimed he partially received it, which is impossible, well, buyer opened a case and I accepted to issue a refund when i got the items back, 2 weeks passed and he never shipped the item, I escalated to customer support cause i was tired of all that BS....but CS decided on buyers side and according to that ebay/paypal email they would issue a refund as soon as the buyer showed proof of returning. today i got an email saying that case was closed and hold on paypal has been released because they did not heard from buyer, they did not take any money from my account but I'm afraid they will later, or is this all final and done with?? fast fwd sold item buyer opened case hold put on my account i accepted to refund upon return 2 weeks no return I (seller) escalated case to cs, cs decided on buyers side they would issue refund after receiving return shipping info received email from ebay/paypal case was closed because they did not heard from buyer they did not touch my money on paypal hold released is there any chance they will still issue a refund? after all this??

I paid via PP but in 'my ebay' there's a hour glass icon which means awaiting process and in my PP a/c it states seller is not registered, but that could just mean she's not updated info like email address, or maybe still only has basic PP a/c not premium. Have been messaging seller for 4 days regarding sorting out her PP a/c and suggested she might need to update details etc., but had no response at all. Seems silly to just let the payment sit there waiting to be processed and perhaps the seller just doesn't want to be paid via PP, so should I just cancel my PP payment and if I do that can I go through checkout a second time so as to pay via bank deposit? What's your advice? thanks for the help

What does the hourglass symbol mean in my ebay where the $ symbol should be.? I bought an item and payed straight away with paypal like I have done 100's of times before. Paypal transactions says the payment has been sent,but when you look in my ebay I only get the hourglass symbol. The seller hasen't answered any emails at all for 7 days now. Could be on xmas holidays but how long do you wait? Anyone struck this before?

I recently brought an item from a seller. After receiving the item a little worse for wear (I do not believe this to be the fault of seller but rather postage handlers), I let the seller know and also that I had left positive feedback (which I believe he deserved). He then decides to refund me a small portion off his own accord but instead of refunding the small portion, he refunds me the full amount! Even though paypal says I have a grand balance of $0.00, I received an email confirming the full refund. My question is should I pay the seller prior to having paypal funds cleared - if I pay him now out of my funds, can he cancel the refund and hence gain a double payment. I am completely new to ebay and would appreciate advice in this regard. -

Hi There and thanking you in advance I purchased item 251200141446 and paid immediately with Paypal, as it was an option, and I feel safest using this method. The seller had written only bank deposit accepted, but at the bottom of the listing, PayPal was also stated as an option. The buyer has now refunded my payment and requested I pay in bank deposit. I really am not happy about this - Can I pay in Paypal or must I go by his request? I do want the item I won :)..... Thanks, Susana

Hi, i have just sold an item. The buyer contacted me and asked to do a bank deposit. This was fine by me, but my bank account is with Newcastle Permanent Building Society (NSW), and the buyer contacted me to say they cant make the deposit as they are from Melbourne and dont have a branch of my bank in their area. Is there anyway they can make a bank deposit into my account without them visiting a Newcastle Permanent branch, as they want to cancel the transaction if they cant make the deposit. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers, 1983xxxx

Hi, I'm trying to pay for an item using my linked visa debit card. It is only giving me the option of paypal balance or echeque to pay. Why?

Basically I'm looking to buy a DDM4000 mixer while they're cheap but don't have the money at the moment, I was wondering if I could use Bill Me Later (In Australia, for an Australian auction) and pay when I have the money. If there's any deposit requirements etc please let me know! Thanks ❤️

I've waited 3 months for my product and haven't recieved it The seller is no longer a registered business. I can't open a dispute because its past 45 days. Its difficult when you think you the product will be posted to you after the seller says they will post it out and then you don't get a response the second time round. Is there anything I can do to get my money back or should I kiss my money goodbye?

Thanks for all the advise

I was going to pay on collection but someone else is collecting on my behalf so would like to make payment via paypal - how do I change this?

liam_beven

I have received an email from the buyer titled "You got paid for item no....". However when i log into my paypal account there are no payments awaiting to be accepted. I have updated to a premier account. All email addresses seem to be correctly spelled etc. And i have tried the link in the email as well, which first leads me to the paypal login page stating that there is information missing, then i have to re-type my password to log in, but that has not worked either. Is there something i am missing here?

Someone has bought something of me, yet they want express shipping. They haven't paid yet and are more than happy to pay for the extra shipping cost. Is there anyway i can change the amount that the item is being sold for to account for the increase in shipping cost, so they can pay it?

I'm new to ebay and wondering if I post my item once I get the email notification that payment has been received thru paypal. Or, after using 'withdraw' and waiting for the payment to arrive in my bank account?
