dillydog 8,529 Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 To old to understand all of this crap, how does it work and what are the pitfalls (if any) for the person selling on Ebay ? I'm moving a scope I no longer use and I've had a message asking if I'll take PayPal finance. I had no idea there was such a thing and I'd rather not get my pants pulled down.

greg64 3,080 Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 I think its just another way of paying for the buyer like a credit card ,I don't think the seller has to do anything ,you will get your payment from paypal and the buyer has about 4 months intrest free credit to pay it back to paypal from what I can gather 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
byron 1,279 Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 you have to sign up with paypal mate..i use it .not just for ebay.. the trouble is, make sure your item is as good as you advertised it..or you can be reported for item not as described..then your money will not be sorted..if this makes sence..good luck..

scothunter 12,609 Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 It's secure but you don't get you're money right away. They hold onto it for 10 days until the buyer is completely satisfied. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pesky1972 5,728 Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 Paypall is just a means of paying or receiving funds. For purchases (like ebay) you allow them to debit your bank account to pay what you owe. Probably safer as you only give bank details to them rather than any/all you purchase from online. For selling I guess it’s much the same, just that the purchaser is better protected from you Not sure if Paypall finance is the same. I know I had a message a while ago and I think they’re moving into offering credit/lending. That is entirely different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Meece 1,958 Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 Does this mean that you send off your item. ( which on the face of it is perfectly serviceable and usable ) and the recipient states that it is a load of carp and you don't get paid for it ? This might cause fun and games. If said item has to be returned who pays for the postage and what happens if said item that is returned ain't the same item that was sent and it is a battered piece of carp ?
