ebay security for buying event tickets?

deal_hunter_4

Hi

Does ebay have a rule with sellers who are selling tickets for events that if buyer does not leave positive feedback immediately, paypal does not release the money?!!

i ask this as i recently bought some tickets and have been asked to leave feedback immediately upon receiving them, otherwise Paypal will not release the money for 3 weeks as a security mechanism.

is this tue?? wher do i stand??

also the event is not til another few weeks so it would NOT make sense to leave immediate feedback as tickets could be fakes / dodgy??

any info on ths will be greatly appreciated!

Yes, it's not unusual.

Nope, its Thursday.

If you're happy with the transaction, and the tickets aren't dodgy, then leave feedback. To be honest, if someone keeps pestering me for feedback, I ignore it and delay it.

Even if you do leave feedback, if the tickets are dodgy you will be able to get your money back through paypal and that's the most important thing, right?

This is very common, you of course dont have to leave feedback, but the seller may cancel your tickets to resell to someone else. Unfortunately its a chance you have to take.

If the tickets are fake you can make a claim voa paypal anyway, if they dont let you, just proceed to a chargeback through your Credit card company.

thanks for advice!

i didnt think about him cancelling the tickets!! is ther any way to stop this, as he could easily say he has lost them and get new ones re-issued!!

as for chargeback i paid thru paypal via my debit card which is linked to paypal account...so not sure if i could do a chargeback!
