I've just been caught out with this, paid for a "in good working order" 1S speed control for my supastox and it's not working.
Wish I had paid the fees and I would have got my money back. I can only hope now. |

eBay and PayPal are actually different companies, run separately, with different buyer/seller protection agreements. Your buyer raised an eBay claim, not a PayPal one. The fees paid on PayPal are for their protection policy, not ebay's. ebay's policies only applies to what is sold through their online market place. PayPal's policies apply to all transactions made through their systems for goods, regardless of the website used. So in fact, like many others, you have decided to forego the protection provide by PayPal for all transactions made on any website or forum because of a decision made by ebay. This would be the same as saying "I was done over by the market inspector in Covent Garden market when I traded there, so I am never going to use my HSBC bank account to accept payments ever again, even when I'm selling at Blackbush or Camden markets." eBay's, the market inspector/owner of WHERE you sell, decision should not have any bearing on your choice of using PayPal as a payment transaction, HOW you accept payments off your customer.

The seller isn't paying anything extra, if the PayPal fees are added on to their asking price then it makes for a more comfortable sale as the buyer is protected and the seller still gets their original asking price. It just bugs me when I see someone with no feedback and on their 1st or 2nd post are asking for the likes of £150 to be sent as a gift. If more people were to read ALL the rules and guidance notes Col has provided then it would make things a lot smoother.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/n...from-eBay.html They are run, by law, as two completely separate entities on the ground level, the only cross over is at the board and senior, senior, management level. This is why they have different user agreements, different protection agreement terms and different fees. Try phoning up PayPal and giving them your eBay ID, see how far you get??? I am simply speaking as someone who works within PayPal and hears hundreds of claims a week going through the office, disputes raised by buyers and sellers. As well as the ones who incorrectly contact PayPal to discuss a claim raised through ebay. All I'm trying to do is help educate people about common and widely held misconceptions along with the fact that a bad experience with eBay should not impact your decision to use PayPal. Reverse the analogy, if you were unhappy with Ford Credit (the finacial credit provider for Ford Motors) when you bought a focus would that lead you to not buy an Aston Martin (if this was your dream Car) if you won the lottery? People believe they are "protected" if they are sellers by using PayPal gift, but this is very wrong. The buyer can claim a Charge Back, with their bank who provide their debit card funding the gift payment, and the bank will ask fewer questions of the seller and will be much more inclined to side with the buyer (as lets remember the buyer is their customer, the seller most likely isn't) and the seller will lose their money without any requirement for the buyer to return the item so you lose that too. PayPal will protect you against this as a seller if not using gift so this is why I recommend never using gift as a buyer or a seller. I will also state, before anyone says anything, although I work within PayPal none of the fees paid to them goes towards my salary as I'm not on their direct payroll, so I don't need your use of it to keep in a job!

Sorry Pal but the fact that you are bound by eBay requirements to also have a PayPal account means that the two are inextricably linked - that you have to abide by both sets of standards to use eBay means for all intents and purposes you are dealing with one entity.
Don't get me wrong I have used PayPal for years and think it can be a very useful medium and has made normal banking sit up and take notice but there is no doubt that they are closely related and have influence over each other. I say this as someone with approaching 20 years experience of the Regulation of financial markets. |

My whole point, as the thread is about oople's for sale section, is that because you are buying and selling on oople, eBay has no influence. The buyer and seller are protected by PayPal's protection, it is in no way connected to ebay's requirements if the item was not sold on eBay. Simply - why leave yourself with no protection for your transaction on oople because of a crap experience with eBay! If the transaction is through PayPal on an advert in oople's for sale section then I could not call eBay to open a claim or dispute, I would have to call PayPal. This is why I pointed out that the requirements and companies are different and so this is why paying as gift on PayPal for something advertised on oople is dangerous and reckless for both the buyer and seller. |
