Ive sold some shoes on Paypal and it says it will take 21 days for the money to come into my account so do i send the shoes now even though the money is not in my account or do i wait until it is and then send them.

 

What sort of protection do i have and how should i go about this because i dont want to be cheated and if i did how would i get my money back?

 

thanks.

Thats good but what if they swap the items and say its not as promised even though it is? Does that mean i would have to refund it or something? (how am i protected from swapping)

A buyer can file a dispute for non receipt of item OR item received but not as described.

 

So you need to read up on seller protection so you can risk assess your transactions as protection is never 100% and you are always going to get the odd bad transaction.

Ok thanks so should i send it now or wait till i get the money and should i take pictures and add delivery tracking and should i put a black dot hidden in the shoes so if he sends it back i can tell if they are have been swapped etc. @kernowlass and if someone has already purchased something but you think something is suspicious can you cancel their order?
