Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 07/19/2005 10:27 pm I assume that the Richard is question is Rggoodie and he is the best of the best. Sadly, I understand why the seller does not accept non-US Paypal, confirmed or not. Paypal REFUSES to grant seller protection to US sellers if payment is from anything other than a US Confirmed Address. This means that, if someone buys from outside the US, pays by Paypal, receives the item, and decides to file for their money back from Paypal due to non-receipt that the seller automatically loses. This is true even if there is proof of delivery (even a signature). It is insane and unfair, and Paypal puts all of this in the fine print, so it makes the seller look bad instead of Paypal. If Richard's PP account is a business account, fees will be charged on every incoming transaction regardless of the type of payment it is. Bobby and I have two PP accounts. One is business and one is personal. Both are in the same names. However, if I want to transfer funds from the personal account to the business account, we have to pay a fee just as if it was a payment for an auction. Report this Post to the Staff
nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 07/19/2005 10:40 pm I do not do much in the way of ebay transactions. As I rarely have much worth selling. But I can and do ship world wide (At Cost) and I have bid on auctions for people who live abroad. I take paypal from people who live outside the US but only after checking their feedback. When I set up my payapl account I used my US address. A short time later I wanted to get verified so I tried to link my UK bank account to it. PayPal said no way not no how even though they had my UK address on file in my account. Now I have to use my ATM card in the US to get cash to put in my US account that was set up just for paypal. So I understand the problems Non US buyers have with ebay and Paypal. As to what the solution is I have no Idea.... Report this Post to the Staff
lim118 Pillar of the Community Australia 1529 Posts	Posted 07/20/2005 05:05 am Yes Susan, the Richard mentioned here is rggoodie.... Attached is the blurb from Paypal cautioning sellers when they sent items to "unconfirmed" addresses. No wonder some sellers in the States are hesitant in dealing with oversea buyers. ================================================================== Quote: Important Note: Sai Lim has provided an Unconfirmed Address. If you are planning on sending items to Sai Lim, please check the Transaction Details page of this payment to find out whether you will be covered by the PayPal Seller Protection Policy. Thank you for using PayPal! The PayPal Team Unquote: =========================================================== I was party to an ebay sponsored Paypal workshop conducted more than a year ago. Among other issues raised, it was unanimous by the people attending the workshop that a change in their policy regarding "unconfirmed"addresses would create the platform for more buying/selling. It is a win/win situation for all concerned, the seller, buyer,eBay and Paypal.....nothing has happen since. Other than a change of heart by Paypal, there is no real solution. Buyers will have to work out a solution before even bidding for an item. Report this Post to the Staff
