Sold a car on Ebay and got a $500 deposit through Paypal. Buyer asks if he can use Paypal Friends and Family to pay the balance either when he picks it up or I deliver it 1,000 miles away. Since it's a face to face transaction, I assume he isn't worried that he won't get the car. But my worry is what if it's paid out of a hacked or stolen account?

Why should I have to change my preferred way to pay? I get 2% cash back with my credit card so I have no intention of changing it. Paypal should get it's act together and fix the problem.

On a payment I made to a small independent seller yesterday, it does show the title of the listing I bought and item number below PURCHASE DETAILS. But on a payment I made last week to a large corporate seller, it doesn't say anything under PURCHASE DETAILS except the amount, and under SELLER INFO, it says Ebay. Now I have to search through my Ebay purchases by dollar amount to match up the Paypal payment to the seller. Real brilliant.

The main issue is minors cant enter into legally binding contracts. Chances are all your activities using Paypal are cool but Paypal doesn't want the liability risk if something goes wrong as they couldn't even sue you. You cant even accept the terms and condition's of Paypal. Why not ask a parent to join so they can use Paypal on your behalf?

I sold an item with the choice of right or left clearly in the listing. The winning bidder paid right away but didn't say which one they wanted. Oddly, I got a message from Paypal saying, You have received a payment that we believe may not have been authorized by the PayPal account holder. We recommend that you don’t ship the item until our investigation is complete. Paypal asked me a few questions and completed their "investigation" saying all was good. I've sent the buyer 2 meassages asking which side they want and got no replies. How is this going to play out?
