So mine is more of an opinion to gathering feedback. I am not new to Paypal nor is my partner however it was the first time I sold something on EBAY and had nothing but bad luck. I GOT SCAMMED! How? Well it was simple, I asked Paypal ON THE PHONE if everything was correct BEFORE sending my parcel which included a PS4 and games. They said yup all looks great, but you need the tracking ID number for the funds to be released.... Now the problem. I SEND THE PACKAGE... I RING PAYPAL AND PUT THE TRACKING ID THROUGH EBAY WAIT, I CHECK MY PAYPAL, FUNDS SENT THEN MY FUNDS RETURNED TO THE "BUYER" I ASKED WHY? APPARENTLY I NEVER CONTACTED PAYPAL. THEY NEVER SAID IT WAS SAFE TO SEND. I LOST CLOSE TO $900 WORTH OF PRODUCT AND POSTAGE COSTS. AND ALL I GET TOLD WAS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I WAS SCAMMED. Now I am over it, I accept fault for even trusting it. And now I refuse to send anything without funds being cleared. This usually means I dont use PayPal. Buyers that I have spoken to about this understand and are happy for me to post after funds clear. My issue is that there is "buyer" protection... where is seller protection? I had a tracking ID on the package that then apparently couldnt get found, I called, I emailed both EBAY and PAYPAL and was told that I should have picked up the signs of a scam. Now obviously Paypal wont compensate me nor will Ebay so my only request is that funds are available IMMEDIATELY. NOT THIS CRAP WITH WAITING! Thats not fair on the seller. ESPECIALLY when the seller then has to pay postage! PayPal is great but has its flaws. And maybe if someone working for Paypal cares enough to even compensate me the littlest bit would have been greatly appreciated. But I recieved nothing 😞 Be carefull buying and selling using paypal. You never know when your going to get scammed!
