Purchasing items

[Sean741]

Hi Never before bought anything with PayPal or through eBay I have bought an expensive item from eBay using PayPal and it went as an echeque Please can you tell me: If the seller chooses to keep his item and take the funds when echeque has cleared, have I been ripped off? I can’t do anything? Thanks

Hi @Sean741 ,

Thank you for reaching us. I know that you just wanted to make sure you get what you have paid for. Since the payment went through as an echeck, this will also be not available on the seller's end until it is done with the clearing process. 

Also, since you made the purchase using your Paypal account, you are covered by our Paypal Buyer Protection. To understand more about this, click on the link below.
