Deposits?

[travhaiz]

I am wondering if there is any protection from pay pal regarding a deposit that the seller wants me to put down to hold the item (a puppy) until Friday?

It depends on how you pay and how you describe the payment.

Make sure the seller provides a PayPal invoice with all details about the purchase.

If you don't receive the item purchased you can file a claim for non-delivery?

By the way, what will be the delivery method?

Don't count on PayPal to protect you from bad buyer judgement.

You can get the seller to make/send a detailed PayPal invoice that allows partial payments.

Allow partial payments:

If you want to accept a deposit or partial payment from your customer, check the partial payments box at the bottom of your invoice. You can also set a minimum amount. Your customer can then make a full payment, pay the minimum, or pay an amount greater than the minimum.

Your invoice will have a partially paid status until it’s paid in full. The amount paid will also appear on the invoice for both you and your customer.

The partial payments feature allows your customers to make multiple payments towards the full balance of one invoice, rather than you having to submit multiple invoices. It is not intended to be a credit product or to allow for an excessive number of payments to be made. We may contact you if we believe you are not using the product correctly.
