I must be thick but how can Paypal authorise a payment through the buyer when they have no money in their account?

I have my debit card linked to my Paypal account and it would show up if I had no funds.

Could it have been that the payment was made by an E-Cheque, rather than a linked debit/credit card, which would mean the payment had a delay before it was available and of course, completed successfully?

Well that's what I meant, but if the OP were to call round in person with a couple of large friends to assist, then that might resolve things much more quickly!

Demanding money with menaces is a serious criminal offence that can - and does - result in imprisonment of the offender (together with his or her accomplices).

eBay also - and rightly so - takes punitive action against anyone who threatens bodily harm. I know. As does (now) the person who sent me the following billet-doux via its Dispute console:

"SHUT THE F<edited>K UP WITH YOUR POSH WANA BE TALK i already explained to you motherf<edited>er are you just arogant and f<edited>ed up in the head, MY STUFF WERE TAKEN BY BAILIFS YOU STUPID SH<edited>T STOP SENDING ME bulls<edited>t otherwise i will come down and f<edited>k you up entirely"

(Coincidentally, I'm sure, the item involved was a Windows-only product. )

I don't recall mentioning demanding money with menaces...I was just kind of thinking that if the buyer decided on the spur of the moment to give the item back, then a couple of large friends would be able to assist carrying it to the car...it could be something heavy and awkward...

I understand where you're coming from.

But so would the Police and eBay - and so would a court - if the person invited to provide such hospitality to uninvited callers were to file complaint.

Even the threat of such action is a serious offence (as my charming eBay correspondent found to his considerable cost).


You need to be careful, yourself, my fellow Mac-appreciating friend. Such is the degree to which that nice Mr. Blair abolished civil liberties in Britain while everybody was too busy watching "Big Brother" on television to notice (quite an irony in that), you are unwise even to suggest (or even to be perceived as suggesting) things like that to other people - especially in a public forum - or you could be charged with incitement to violence.

Heaven forfend, moreover, that the good old British Bobby would ever resort to powers granted under the guise of being anti-terrorist measures and misapply them to a different purpose... :cool:

Tread carefully in Brown-broken-Britain: you have very few rights left and even those come expensively, now.

Then would it make sense, if this 'delayed payment process' to be not sanctioned by Paypal if it's open to abuse?

Don't forget Section 5 of the public order act, you can get nicked for swearing as you see many a time on Police, Camera Action, Nightwatch etc.

So a nicely types threat is certainly concidered more than a few fings and blinfing

You don't mean...negative feedback?!!
I'm not surprised that you found that message upsetting. His language is apalling. Eveyone knows it should be 'my stuff was taken by bailiffs...'

You could tell him nicely that as he never paid for the item that the baliffs have taken someone elses property (yours)
