I got a idea How about I tell he buyers that if they buy by paypal, that they arent allowed to do chargeback, and that the motorhome is "as is" an then require them to agree to that by email to me, before I let them pay me by paypal. Then if after gettin the motorhome an after me taking th money off paypal, they then chargeback, I wil jut sowe email communications to paypal, the credit card companies, ebay, etc, and te refuse to pay the chargback. If paypal the decides to goto a collection agency, or take me to court, I would then sue them and win, because of the email documentation showing a aggreement not to chargeback and to accept "as is"     ...

Hi I am new 3 buyers have said they want to buy motorhome uing paypal to pay me.   I have read about the problems pople are having. The thing I am worried is what if someone pays $8,000 on paypal, and then after getting the motorhome, they chargeback.   Ia selling this motorhome for someone else. They wont give the motorhome until I take the money off of papal and give them the money by cashier's check,cash,or money order.   The problem is if I give them the money, an then they give the buyer the motorhome, and then if the buyer then does a chargeback, then I owe paypal $8,000 that I wouldnt have.   And if I pay paypal that money, and if the buyer doesnt give motorhome back, Paypal is not responsible for that. And if dont pay paypal the $8,000.00 then I am responsible.   So where isthe fairness in that? If I am responsible to pay the $8k to paypal then paypal is responsible to make sure I get motorhome back, and if paypal is not responsible to get motorhome back, then I am not or should not be responsible to pay paypal 8k   Because of this I now dont want to let buyers pay me $8,000 on paypal to me for motorhome. I am jus afraid it would be a big mess.   So what do people on here think I should do, and i there some sort of seller protection I could get??   thanks for the help   Mike ... View more

New.My paypal email address ID Asked to pay me by ...

Hi all, I am new at this so please help.  I am selling a motorhome for the bowers. So I created a sellers account and a premier sellers account that has been verified as haing a bank account attached to it. Then I posted a classified listing on ebay.   The buyer is supposed to make deposit then go see it pick it up and pay for it. But the buyer wants to pay for the thing upfront using paypal and then send a private courier to pick the motorhome up. He must have really liked the pictures to do that.   So then he emails me and ask for my paypal email address that makes up my paypal ID. So I checked the emails Paypal sent me and checked my account, and I dont see the paypal email address anywhere.   So what is my paypal email address paypal ID?? Where do I find it?? Why do I need it??  Does the buyer really need my paypal email address paypal ID to send me payment via Paypal??   Him asking for my paypal emal address paypal ID to make a payment to me via paypal sounds like a possible scam. So cant the buyer send the the payment without the paypal email address paypal ID?? If so how?   So can you all help me out please.   There could be $9,000 riding on getting this right and or not getting scammed if it is a scam.   thanks in advance for the help   Mike ... View more
