if your selling on ebay,in your listing you put down the paypal registered email address you use to which users would send payment to,the money goes onto your paypal account,you can enter your bank account details into your paypal account if you want to transfer money there.

i dont use ebay, as the things im selling are only in ireland. the way i understand it is. once i get an order i send a payment request to the person and once they pay it goes to my bank account/credit card

No, the money doesn't go to your bank account or credit card, it stays in your Paypal account. You can transfer it to a bank account, but not a credit card. You can either request the payment, or they can just send the payment if they have your email address.

Iv sold a good few things on adverts at this stage,many of which have been paid for using paypal.I was wondering how does the paypal gift system work.

Who pays the fees and what are the catches involved.

I know adverts doesnt support the gift way but i suppose since i have a good bit of positive feedback,im pretty reliable to send the item at this stage.

Gift payments aren't available in Ireland.

Really? Are you sure?

Cause I sent money from my mum's PayPal to my PayPal as a gift and I had no fee's either. I did this before Xmas. We are both in Ireland.

It seems to have changed now. When Gift was first introduced, there were no fees, and it wasn't available everywhere. There is a fee associated with it now, which the sender can choose to pay, or they can let it come out of the money the recipient gets. There is no fee if the money comes from your Paypal balance though.

I have a bank draft from bank of Ireland and want to somehow get the draft into my paypal account?can I just bring it to the post office?Will they do it?

jor el

What would the Post Office be able to do? If it's a non-crossed draft, they might cash it, but that's not a guarantee. Even then, that doesn't help you.

You can transfer money from your bank account into Paypal, if you follow the instructions given by Paypal. That's the only way.

jimw1988

Right so, I dont have a credit card!!!!!!!Is it possible for me to go into bank of Ireland, fill out say a transfer funds form so I can transfer money from my bank account to my paypal account with the details that paypal have given me for my account?????

jor el

You don't need a credit card for this. You just need to transfer the money, using the details provided by Paypal. I don't know if you can do a bank to bank credit transfer though, some banks don't allow this in branch any more. They prefer you to use online banking.

hi, how do i confirm my 3v card to get the refund OF 2.50. they say i have to check my bank statement to get the 4 digit code. as there is no statement with a 3v card where do i confirm this.?

samhail

have you considered looking at your 3v account at the statement there ?
and bear in mind that you wont get a refund... you will get your 2.50 taken off your next purchase.

jor el

Seems some people have claimed to have gotten a refund, but I've never seen it myself. It may be weeks and weeks before you see it, and maybe it only happens if you don't make any purchases.

fmoy

not too bothered about the refund really but would just like to confirm my account. any way of getting this code from using a 3 card.?

samhail

seriously... i kid you not my friend... goto www.3v.ie and log into your account and look at the transactions on that card. should be there.

I have seen the refund go through on my account and others. first i heard of it not being refunded, will have to keep an ear out.

fmoy

ok, found it now. thanks

In terms of PayPal, does anyone know if there is a set amount of money from which PayPal will start "pending" in your account

I sold two items this week on PayPal for around 40/50 and PayPal is holding the money for 21 days

I'm wondering, if I sell items at 10/20 then will PayPal just let me have the money straight after the buyer pays

I have great feedback and never had a problem but I am out of pocket everytime I have to pay for shipping without using PayPal and going to An Post or Royal Mail and just once I'd like to have some money in my PayPal account when someone buys my items from me, instead of having to wait about a week or two or until they leave feedback!

i think its down to security reasons,and methods the buyer paid with,along with general transfer of money,what i usually do when im selling is i put down "items will be shipped when payment is cleared" ,least then they know there be a slight delay..

Slight delay? 21 days would be a bit more than a slight delay I think? If I was waiting that long I'd have opened a dispute and left negative feedback before you'd even thought about sending the item.

My guess is Motley Crue has his PayPal account linked to a Bank Account or some other account that PayPal can't "charge back" if things go wrong.

i remember when someone paided me with an e cheque,dreading it would bounce,took so long to clear.

PayPal Payment Holds

Payment hold - a longer definition

A payment hold is an amount of money that belongs to you, set aside by PayPal, while we make sure that your customers are satisfied. The funds for payments received are held temporarily as a pending balance in your account, and released at the end of the given hold timeframe. The funds may be released early if PayPal determines that the transaction has been fulfilled and your customers are satisfied.
Why does PayPal use payment holds?

Payment holds ensure that sellers have sufficient funds in their account if, for example, a customer files a dispute. This allows PayPal to provide a fast and secure payment service to you and your customers while keeping our prices competitive.

We know this is a change in the way we do business with you and we hope you understand that, if you incur a payment hold, you haven’t done anything wrong. In deciding whether to apply payment holds, we review many factors including transaction activity, business type, and customer disputes.

hey
iam trying to use papal with out a visa or mastercard, i only have an aib laser/mestro card any idea if / how it can be done

Cheers

They don't accept Laser cards. You can transfer money directly from your bank, or use a pre-paid credit card.

When paying through pay-pal should i use pay-pay's currency converter or let my credit card company do it? Which one would have a better rate or is their any difference?

samhail

CamperMan

I pay out €850 for an item on eBay and the item was not as described and was not shipped out to me, the seller sent a full refund and it shows in my PayPal account as "Pending" PayPal says it will be 7 to 9 business days before it's credited to my account, WTF... :mad: 7 to 9 business days, f*ck me why does it take so long?

Seller doesn't have your money and is sending it via an echeque. Sellers can't refund from a CC

There are no fees for sending money, just receiving. The seller may apply a fee to you, to cover his Paypal fees, and this is probably what it refers to.

Can you tell me what the fees are for receiving money?

I just tried this out with the bro for a laugh and he transferred 50c to me. I was charged 37c of that amount to receive it!! :eek::eek::eek:

Is there a percentage charge for receiving money or just a standard charge?
