    hi i sent a bloke money for a item i agreed to buy from him,bu he told me to send money as a gift through paypal,as he said he would,nt get charged or lose any money to paypal if the money was sent as a gift.

    so i sent him the money through paypal,but sent it as goods through paypal,as i could not see any where letting me send it as a gift.all i seen was send as goods,other or ebay item.so he sent me back a full refund saying he was losing almost 7.00 pounds through paypal.

    now i got a email saying i had been sent the refund through paypal,but the money has not appeared on my paypal account,how long does it take for the refunded money to appear on my paypal account?

    or should the refunded money appear on my paypal account immediately?.

    also is there a email contct info for paypal?,thanks

    hello lad.if u had paypal money in your account u should get it back straight away into your balance.

    if you paid via credit card funds it will get refunded to your card in 3 - 4 days

    It won't appear in your account, it will go back to 3V, but may take a few days for that to happen. There should be a record of the refund in your Paypal account.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,632 ✭✭✭bassy


    hi yes there is a record of the refund sent back to me in my paypal transactions,but theres no money in my account.
    so you say this money will go back to my 3v visa voucher?.

    can some one please confirm if my refunded payment on paypal will go back to my 3v voucher or go in to my paypal account?.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,713 ✭✭✭✭jor el


    I have already told you that, as has blahblah06. Stop asking the same question over and over, it won't change the answer. Also, it will be stated in the refund email that your received from Paypal.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 153 ✭✭Eireann


    As an end note, you should never send money as a gift, as you will not be covered under Paypal/eBay rules should you need to try and get your money back.

    You'll probably need to check with whatever payment processing agent you'll be using, or they'll take care of it for you.

    Can somebody please tell me how to add funds to my Paypal account using a 3v voucher. I don't have a credit card and can't verify the 3voucher. It keeps telling me I will get a Paypal code on my "Visa bill" but I won't be getting one because it's not a real Visa card!!

    Is there no other way of topping up Paypal as my Bank (BOI) don't want to know about it, nor do Permanent TSB who Paypal use in Ireland.

    Am I simple or is this really this f**king complicated? :mad::mad::mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,713 ✭✭✭✭jor el


    This had been asked and answered a million times already. You don't add funds to Paypal from any kind of credit card, including 3V, and your visa bill will be in your 3V account. If you log into your Paypal account you will find information about how to transfer money from a bank.

    interesting question - I would send an email to PayPal about this one as they are your payment processor. i dont think you will be able to customise it.

    In Paypal go into your Account Overview, click on "Edit Profile" then click "Credit/Debit Card". There's an option to "Add Card" in a yellow box. Hope this helps:)

    lo i was goin to buy a item off e-bay and i was only £5 short for the item,ne way my girlfriend bought me another £20 of credit which is still £5 short so i was wondering if you can tranfer the money of 1 3v visa onto another thus adding the amounts together as 1, using the 1 account.

    bit mind boggling sorry :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,699 ✭✭✭samhail


    simple answer is no.
    When you make a payment through Paypal for an ebay item both you and the seller will be covered for that transaction.
    If you simply send money to the seller, instead of marking it down specifically for the ebay item then you will not be covered.

    you can not make a payment from two different credit cards (20 from your new 3v, and 5 from your old one)
    you can not lodge money from your credit card/s into your paypal account to send the money.


    best thing to do is to get a new 3v card with more money on it :)


    I *think* you may be able to specify 20£ on the ebay order payment, then send the seller an extra 5£... but this is not recommened. you will only be covered for the 40£


    Paypal does not give you permissiong to (but it doesnt mean that you actually can not do it)... would be to make a payment from both your credit cards to another paypal account, then use the money in that paypal account to send the money.
    You will be losing money on that too because for an account to recieve money from a credit card they need to be a Premier account (or business account) which costs to recieve money. Personal accounts could not recieve money from a buyer who used a credit card. (that may have changed)

    ok thanks for the quick reply guess ill just have get another 1 with more credit :(

    i just set up a paypal account and added a payzonemoney mastercard to it. there was a €1.50 charge and the card is now linked or something.
    Your card has been charged €1.50 EUR.


    Check your card statement in 2-3 days and find the 4-digit PayPal code for the charge.


    Return to PayPal and enter the 4-digit code to confirm your card.


    does this mean i can't go ahead and order something just now, i have to wait the 2-3 days for a 4 digit code, or can i purchase something just now???


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,699 ✭✭✭samhail


    since its a credit card its usually alot quicker than that, are you able to log into a payzone website and see the transactions on it ? i know you can with 3v.

    i thought you were able to send a small amount of cash through your paypal account before you got verified... but this link thinks otherwise. click on that link and see the limitations.

    I have a hosting account and wanted to pay my bill for them. The company recommended PayPal, so I said thats fine and proceeded to pay with PayPal. So when I paid the money did not appear on my hosting account records. So they suspended me for non payment. PayPal is showing that the money went through correctly. Anyway, I couldnt have the website down any longer so paid again by credit card, that went through. So ive paid twice but it says once on my account. So in PayPal can i retract those funds i sent to my host? (The funds were from ebay sales so no credit card involved)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,699 ✭✭✭samhail


    if its a big enough hosting company you should be safe enough.

    when you paid for the item you would have sent it to an email address. get that email address and the exact date and time of when you sent the payment and email your hosting company and tell them that as instructed (i hope you were instructed to send it to that email address) you sent the money as they requested.
    ask them to log into that Paypal account and refund the money to you.

    You can put in a buyer complaint in against the transaction but sinces its a non tangible goods (services) they are not going to follow this up for you.

    Hopefully the hosting company will see the error and you wont need to get paypal involved.

    Using text speak is a bannable offense. Please use real words.

    Yes you can transfer from one voucher to another, I think the charge is €2.50. Click "Online Customer Service" on their website, then click manage my vouchers and log in. There's an option to transfer from one to the other there.

    Hi, im new to the whole paypal thing and this question has prob been asked before so apologies in advance.

    i have bought somthing and wish to use paypal to pay for it. (my credit card is linked to it) the selled has on her site something like 'paypal accecpted, paypal fees apply' so does this mean i must pay some sort of fees? i have seacrched the paypal website, and it seems to me that personal accounts are free, so if anyone has any answers....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,713 ✭✭✭✭jor el


    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.

    How would anyone here know the specifics of your Paypal account? There are many reasons for why they would close an account, you'll have to ask Paypal why.
