Thisis kind of a dumb question but here it goes. I have been on ebay & Paypal for many years, sold & purchased many things and never had a problem with payments clearing. I just sold a large ticket item on ebay though and I have heard of people getting scammed out of their money so I just thought I would ask...how so I know the payment that came to me is 'cleared' or 'good'? Do I assume that once the payment is in my Paypal account it's good? Or once it hits my bank account it's good? How do I know if the buyer paid with funds already in their Paypal, or it came from their bank account, credit card, etc? On my PP page it says 'okay ti ship' and 'payment completed', but I just initiated a transfer to my bank account so the money isn't there yet. Thanks!
