I ordered a rug, which was not a rug. It was a glorified placemat and nothing to the quality they described when I ordered it. I disputed the charge wi Th PayPal since this company is so impossible to reach and PayPal sent me instructions to return the item for a refund. I tried to follow instructions to return the item. Which was originally mailed to me from New Jersey for $5 in shipping. But in order to be refunded they want me to send it at my cost on shipping to Hong Kong. It said I had to include tracking to prove they receive it. To do this will cost a minimum in $55 shipping. Which I won’t be reimbursed?? As well as the Post Office informed me of that once it crosses international waters there is no guarantee that they will receive it. Considering the amount of scam reports about this company- I’m sure even if they do receive it, they will lie and say they didn’t and then I will have spent even more and have nothing to show, as well as the amount of time all this is going to take with shipping standard rate to Hong Kong. I feel forced into having to accept I just threw my money away.

I've been scammed to, 17goodbuybuy are also CHINATERA why is eBay and PayPal allowing this

@jessymatar That email and any other you received was NOT from paypal. It was a spoof from a scammer, paypal does not send emails like that.

@kernowlass but where can I accept the agreement?

kernowlass · ‎Oct-20-2019

@Stasha77 Paypal is country specific so if you move countries you have to open another paypal account in the country you reside in and add an address / phone number / bank accounts / cards from within that country. You should really withdraw any funds / resolve issues / remove cards and bank accounts before you move countries. If you don't then you may have problems doing so once you have moved and may need to contact customer services for help to resolve things. There are some exceptions as some bank accounts can be linked to specific Paypal accounts in some countries.

@Marian_Otoiu If its a spoof, NEVER USE ANY LINK. Firstly if the email/text addressed you as ''Dear Member'' / ''Customer'' / ''Client'' OR your ''email address'' then that confirms its a spoof as paypal would address you by your full name eg Dear John Smith. Secondly if there was a link OR attachment in that email/text to ''cancel'' any transaction or ''confirm'' any details then again it would be a spoof. If there was a problem with your account Paypal would not ask you to click on an unsafe link in an email or by downloading an attachment, they would direct you to log in normally and go to the resolution or the message centre for more information.

@j2510 The email address you use with Paypal identifies your Paypal account and is all someone needs to pay you. Or you can send a money request/invoice from your Paypal account to their Paypal email address for them to pay. The latter is better as you can then fully describe the item that your buyer is paying for and that may help you if they open a 'recieved but not as described' dispute. You may be subject to the 'new seller hold' (info on that in link below) BUT once cleared you can click on 'withdraw/transfer funds' and send it to any linked funding source. https://www.paypal.com/uk/smarthelp/article/why-is-my-payment-on-hold-or-unavailable-faq1987 HOWEVER be very careful as lot of scam merchants about....... 1. A lot of scammers encourage you to accept a Paypal payment and if you don't have an account ask you to open one. 2. Do not get scammed via spoof emails that look as if they are from Paypal. 3. Never send anything unless the funds are showing in your Paypal account balance, even if you are a new seller and subject to the new seller hold the funds would still show in your balance but have pending by them. 4. Do NOT send anything to an address that is not the buyers Paypal registered address. 5. Do not be fooled by you so called buyer and "Paypal" telling you that you either have to >>> a. Send the item and provide a tracking number BEFORE the funds show in your balance. b. You have to pay the buyers shipping agent via western union or moneygram OR buy Itunes vouchers or tokens for varying reasons before his payment is credited to you. 6. Do not accept payment for sales using the family / friends option. 7. Remember sellers send invoices and not buyers so if you get an invoice "marked as gift / paid" and saying it won't show in your balance for 24 hours or that your payment can't be the subject of a chargeback.....its a scam. If in doubt come here and ask and also read up on Paypals seller protection first so you can risk assess your transactions.

@Carmelcurley Pending where? pending echeque TO your paypal balance from a buyer? pending IN your paypal balance for an Ebay sale as a new seller? pending IN your paypal balance for an off-Ebay sale as a new seller? pending TO a company with you as the buyer? pending / unclaimed to a seller? pending / unclaimed with a cancel option to a seller? pending withdrawal to your bank account? pending adding funds to your paypal account?

kernowlass · ‎Oct-20-2019

@4831Mensah If its showing in your paypal balance then yes, if not then no. !!!

Hafiz3 · ‎Oct-20-2019

@kernowlass Thank you so much for taking time to answer my query. Actually the client has already filed a claim and they did mentioned "money was sent by unauthorized activity. " Finally Paypal decided the case in my favor and told my client that the activity was duly authorized. Do you really think, now, they should file another claim for the same amount that they didn't receive the product? Thanks again for your time!!!!

kernowlass · ‎Oct-20-2019

@nehaislam Paypal doesn't send emails saying you will get paid in 24 hours. Paypal payments are more or less instant BUT if pending they will still SHOW in your paypal account and you never send an item until that payment is showing. If you have received emails saying to wait then its most likely a scam.

kernowlass · ‎Oct-20-2019

@DG30 As you have not added your country to your community profile or said in your post then we can't help at the moment (Paypal varies a lot country to country).

kernowlass · ‎Oct-20-2019

@Yakeee The option to 'receive' paypal payments is sadly not available in your country. You can only 'send' payments for purchases.

kernowlass · ‎Oct-20-2019

@Kay46 Transfers from bank accounts are never instant, that is why when you buy something paypal credit the seller upfront for you and paypal take the wait for the funds to transfer to pay them back again, this is so you get your item without delay. Takes several working days to transfer as Paypal use the slowest (cheapest) transfer option BUT funds normally leave your bank account from a few hours up to a few days later. However they only take that 'risk' if you pay... 1. Bank transfer but have a back up card linked to your account as well. 2. Debit or credit card. If you have option 1 but have no back up card linked then your payment may go as an echeque and you and the seller will have to await clearance.

kernowlass · ‎Oct-20-2019

@JustinTj Its against Paypal rules to accept a family / friends payment for selling goods and you risk your Paypal account being limited if you do so. A buyer would not be able to open a Paypal dispute for 'non-receipt' OR 'not as described' as they would have no Paypal buyer protection. However they can still open an 'unauthorised transaction' OR do a 'chargeback' (via their card issuer) and you may well lose as you would have no Paypal seller protection.

braslaw · ‎Oct-20-2019

Not sure what you mean by 4 digit code. The card has been in my paypal wallet for years, and previously it did work. I have not changed my address, and it is correct. Another interesting factor is that other cards from the same bank do work, and all the cards have the same address.

kernowlass · ‎Oct-20-2019

@Wayee Your best bet is to ask the seller to send you a money request or invoice, fully describing the item you are buying OR if you want to use the send money > goods/services option then after you have entered the email address > selected g/s > there is a 'note' option where you can fully describe what you are paying for.

kernowlass · ‎Oct-20-2019

@Kristenelaina Sounds as if he sent an echeque. Reasons for a payment being sent as an echeque are... 1. Card needs updating. 2. Recent neg balance. 3. Recent failed bank transfer. 4. High cost payment. 5. High risk transaction. 6. Some friends / family payments.

@Rosie0618 Is it pending IN your paypal balance? Is it completed IN your paypal balance? Have you clicked to withdraw funds from your paypal balance? Does it say pending or completed with the withdrawal.

kernowlass · ‎Oct-20-2019

@AgGe12 You can only withdraw to a VISA card in your country. The only exception is you can add a U.S bank account to other countries paypal accounts. This is because Paypal is a U.S company.
