Re: Heartbleed

The Lastpass website makes a general estimation of whether a site is either: not vulnerable, or *possibly* vulnerable. Lastpass would not be able to realibly ascertain which SSL provider a website uses, and even then, which version was used. Lastpass looks for evidence of the http server, Apache for example, and estimates that there is a possibility because a vulernable version of OpenSSL *could* have been installed with Apache.   A real-life anaology would be a website checking a VIN number on a car for sale, and saying it may be totally damaged by flood water, just because the car was in a state where a flood occured in the past.   That being said, Lastpass was a great resource for people whom wanted to change their passwords, and needed a place to start... possible vulnerable site first.   Today using Lastpass on https://paypal.com creates a not vulernable message. https://lastpass.com/heartbleed/?h=paypal.com   As already said in a previous post, PayPal announced that were not affected by heartbleed. https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/PayPal-Forward/OpenSSL-Heartbleed-Bug-PayPal-Account-Holders-are-Secure/ba-p/797568#   ...

It took me a while to figure out, but there IS a way to determine if the customer paid with credit/debit (no paypal login) as opposed to using a login to PayPal to pay.   If they paid without logging into PayPal, the IPN post variable receipt_id will exist.... and not otherwise. ... View more

Customer paid: with card or PayPal?

It's not imperative to my business, but I'd like to be able to tell if the customer paid with their PayPal account, or with a credit/debit card. Preferably I'd like this info available via IPN or return variables on the website. This is not available as far as I know, unless I missed something?   The only ways that I know of finding out is if the customer contacts me with his receipt number (only for cards), or if I download a history csv, which has receipt numbers for all sales with card-only payments. ...

Re: Why is the Paypal website so slow?

I agree with all the above posters about the slowness. I see 3-5 seconds load time of many basic PayPal pages including profile settings, and directly accessing a transaction or refund. Using pages for search, download logs, or login is my area of frustratation.   When I login, I have to wait 15+ seconds and then refresh to become logged in. If I "click here to refresh" I get logged out, or if I just wait patiently it sits there forever. When using advanced search, it takes 2 minutes to load small queries like searching by email with a date range of the last 7 days. If I specify larger date ranges than 7 days it usually sits there forever until I'm logged out for inactivity. Also browing the basic search for categories of debit card uses, incoming payments, refunds etc takes 30+ seconds per page.   Tried chrome, firefox, IE, and tried on desktops and laptops, and on different internet connections. I have 500+ balance affecting transactions per day... but taking 2 minutes to seach through 3500 transactions for all trans with specified email seems too slow. Bad mysql queries on 100x the data size are faster than this. ... View more

Sure.   First email from PayPal:   Hello xxxxx xxxxx,   To protect you from problematic transactions, we sometimes request additional information about PayPal payments. We need more information about this transaction. Please log in to your PayPal account, click the "Resolution Center"tab, and provide more information by 6/16/2011. We recommend that you not ship the item until our investigation is complete. If you've already shipped the item, please log in and let us know where you shipped it. We have placed a temporary hold on the funds until we complete our investigation. If you need to provide information by fax, click and print a cover sheet: https: //www .paypal. com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_complaint_resolve_tracking_fax&cid=PP-001-xxx-xxx-xxx Please fax proof of shipment or proof of refund to xxx-xxx-xxxx. ----------------------------------- Transaction Details ----------------------------------- Buyer's name: xxxxx xxxxx Buyer's email: xxxxx at xxxxx.com Transaction ID: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Transaction date: Jun 9, 2011 Transaction amount: $8.44 USD Invoice ID: xxxxx Your transaction ID: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Case number: PP-001-xxx-xxx-xxx Thank you for your cooperation. Thanks, PayPal Please do not reply to this email. This mailbox is not monitored and you will not receive a response. For assistance, log in to your PayPal account and click the Help link in the top right corner of any PayPal page. PPID PP943       And the final email from PayPal:   Hello xxxxx xxxxx, We've concluded our investigation into the transaction detailed below. Because we determined that you did not meet the eligibility requirements for the PayPal Seller Protection Policy, you are being charged for this reversed transaction.  We've returned the funds to the PayPal account holder, and your account will be debited for the amount of this transaction. ----------------------------------- Helping ensure safe transactions ----------------------------------- Most of the payments you receive will be from, honest buyers. PayPal wants to help ensure that your transactions are as safe as possible. You can often reduce your risk by paying close attention to payment details and unusual requests. * Watch for address inconsistencies: It's fairly common for a buyer's shipping address to be different from the billing address. In some cases, though, it could indicate fraud. For instance, a high-priced item that has a billing address in one country and a shipping address in another may be suspicious. * Beware of unusual requests that could indicate suspicious activity, such as: - Buyers who want rush shipment at any cost - Buyers who send partial payments from different PayPal accounts - Do not make payment in full Go to the PayPal Security Center for more information. ----------------------------------- Transaction Details ----------------------------------- Buyer's name: xxxxx xxxxx Buyer's email: xxxxx at xxxxx.com Transaction ID: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Transaction date: Jun 9, 2011 Transaction amount: $8.44 USD Invoice ID: xxxxx Your transaction ID: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Case number: PP-001-xxx-xxx-xxx Thanks, PayPal Please do not reply to this email. This mailbox is not monitored and you will not receive a response. For assistance, log in to your PayPal account and click the Help link in the top right corner of any PayPal page. PPID PP951       See, I only sell intangible goods for instant online delivery. (sometimes more than 4000+ items a month) and its nice that PayPal wants to check in on random transactions, but the case always defaults against me because its an intangible item, even when I have an affidavit of successful reception from the buyer. In the above case, I have to contact the buyer and explain why they need to resend payment again, in a new invoice that I have to email to them.   I've also tried many times to submit thorough explanations and buyer affidavits via fax to PayPal, still resulting in the loss of the inquiry. ...

Inquiry on intangible goods

I have sold some intangible goods to a buyer. PayPal initiated an inquiry in the resolution center and put my funds on hold. I followed up with the buyer who stated they received, used, and enjoyed the intangible goods, and knew nothing of an inquiry, dispute or anything of that sort.   Next, I should do my part by responding to the inquiry. Let me show you a screenshot of the options PayPal gives me in the "respond" action of this inquiry.     I already sent the intangible goods, so the first and third options are out. Of course I don't have a tracking number for an intangible, so the second option is out.   From experience, if I choose the "none apply" and explain thoroughly what happened, and that the buyer is happy with the product, I will definitely lose the inquiry. I will get an email saying that I was forced to provide a refund the buyer didn't want, and all that because I didn't provide a tracking number.   So having said all that... when I get an inquiry, what am I supposed to do? Always lose? Not respond? ... View more

gabrieth... PayPal CS also told me as a merchant that fraud loss is a part of business. I think recovery/recourse/investigation should be a part of business as well.... but its not around here!   Generally, I see this assumed of the account holders (including myself):   A PayPal verified merchant with 6-digits in sales history over 7+ years, and a good public reputation, linked bank accounts and cards, confirmed address and phone, willing to go the extra mile by finding/uploading evidence and calling PayPal CS .... assumed wrong   .   A stranger that signed up for PayPal yesterday and clicks "dispute this charge" ..... assumed right, award with full refund, hope they return the item even if its an open movie/software   .   Gah! ...

robsfamily5.... I don't think any person should be able to start a not-as-described dispute if the item had pictures!   Misleading (or lying) text is the only reason I think not-as-described disputes can happen. PayPal dropped the ball on that one though. Maybe the buyer should be required to take pictures of their received item, so the PayPal CS that reviews the dispute can actually compare the images. ...

I respectfully ask that PayPal start to honor other forms of tracking for intangible goods. Like server logs, IP addresses, and undoctored emails (all with letter of proof from web host), recorded phone conversations, verbal testimony from buyers given to a PayPal CS, buyer signed receipts, and buyer signed affidavits. ...
