Hello fellow Ebayers, I am having brain drain, and cannot recall how to fund a pay pal payment from my credit card?? Can anyone advise me how to go about it please. It is for a UK purchase, for my husbands' company, and I want it to go onto our credit card, so that he can have a record to claim the purchase from his employer, as we are buying it on their behalf.   Thanks in advance, I know someone will know how to do this.   ....karen ...

Hi, Can anyone tell me, why all of a sudden do I get money from buyers 'on hold' in Pay Pal for up to 21 days. I have never had a payment issue, and funds have always gone into PayPal immediately. Now, after one 'Buyer" did not pay, and the case closed, all of a sudden payment from others after that date is not released to me immediately.  Seems that Pay Pal is making a lot of interest from funds being witheld from honest sellers !!   PayPal advised that we have done nothing wrong, but would not really give an explanation for this.   ...

Please advise how you are going to resolve this situation. Kind regards, Frits ... View more

I won 4 auctions with a new seller and it won't let me pay. I thought maybe I'd reached my unconfirmed sending limit, so confirmed my bank account, but have just noticed another buyer has just left the seller negative feedback for the same reason. The seller isn't responding to messages either and only has a few buyer feedbacks, none for selling except for this new negative one.  They were very good bargains with free P&P, so I'm wondering if it's possible for them to have cancelled them. Don't know what to do, whether to risk buying elsewhere or hang on to see if the problem is resolved. ... View more

I haven't used my paypal account to sell for over 12months, and I have just started back up. I just sold some goods and received an email stating, the buyer has sent payment and all I need to do to receive it is to log onto my Business level account to receive the payment - this also requires me to have an ABN  - which I don't have. This can't be right? What have I missed? L ... View more

So, I've sold two items on eBay so far and paid for shipping on each of them using Click and Send with Australia Post...   I understand there is a final value fee for each item... but what on earth? $40.55 fees for two things that sold for about $140 in the end, it says:   "Australia Post Shipping Fee - 22.00" What? I paid for my shipping already and send my package, what does this have to do with anything?    and then two more "final value fees on shipping" < huh?   Amount due as of 14-Sep-14: AU $0.00 New activity not yet invoiced: AU $40.55 Current Balance: AU $40.55   This means I'll have to pay $40.55 for next month... which makes no sense to me. ...

I don't have a credit card, and when I pay for purchases thru my Commonwealth Savings Account (which comes out as an ecredit)  it takes nearly a week for the money to get to the seller,  which means they don't send my purchases for a long time.  Can I directly pay money into payPal and have it sitting there for my purchases, as then the money would be transferred immediately  and sellers could post my goods sooner. Hope someone replies with helpful info. Milosnan. ... View more

So I won a pair of jeans and my options during checkout were either Bank Deposit, or PayPal. I chose Bank Deposit, and paid it all using online banking, and marked it as Payment Sent. A few days later the seller contacted me saying that it still said pending on her account. I check my bank statement, and the bank rejected my payment to her. I tell her this, and she said that she hasn't had a bank account listed for ages and can't find it in her Ebay account, and is puzzled about how/why it gave me that payment option.   So I say, don't worry about it - I'll just pay via PayPal, except now I can't find a link to pay for it, I'm guessing because I already said I'd paid via bank deposit? Is there any way to change this so Ebay gives me the link to pay her for the item via PayPal?   Thanks 🙂 ... View more

Hi,  I have bought an item from a seller that is requesting I pay their PayPal fees if I choose to pay via PayPal. I can pay cash on pick up but im worried if there is a problem with the item then I wont be able to return it. I think PayPal would give me piece of mind if there is something wrong with the dryer. Can someone please tell me if Im doing the right thing and if this is allowed. Thanks in advance. ... View more
