seller wont accept paypal

POSSETTE

Can you not just stick your CC in hole in wall and withdraw £500???
i know they charge for this but at least the deal can get done. I would not accept anything but cash on collection with this amount, dont give a damn if i got a neg for it. You can take all the photos ans sign your flippin will over to seller but PP will not be interested if a claim goes through.
A court maybe different i suppose.

What poor advice, CC can charge 3 times (sometimes more) interest compared to paying via the card. More often then not the cash withdrawn is also the last thing to be paid off as well, very poor advice.

Well, maybe if seller could fund the several pounds interest and cash withdrawal charge this might be a reasonable option After all, they'll be paying over £50 in charges if the sale fails to go ahead.

A slightly dodgy turn of phrase on my part there! :rotfl:

Surely this is workable? Explain your position, offer to sign a receipt or have a polaroid of you taken with said tackle in hand when you collect the item (or both!) and bring all your charm to bear to persuade the seller that you are a decent human being and not a scammer. Totally doable huh?

That still wouldn't defend the seller from a paypal claim. Though might get them a staring role in a !!!!!! movie:D

Well... no. Probably not. Paypal is a bit of a bliddy law unto itself.

Does anybody ever go after Paypal in the small claims court over this sort of thing though? Cos you would have thought that in a realm where common sense gets a look in things like photographic and documentary evidence would count for something.

But of course, yeah, failing that a whole new career path could open up!

People generally don't tackle paypal about these things in the small claims court but they should in my opinion.

Paypal have no legal power to adjudicate or award any party financial compensation they can only do what they do with our permision, therefore when we disagree with their decision but they plough ahead anyway and forcefully remove money from our accounts we can challenge them on it.

I doubt greatly that if a paypal user could prove that they had proof that the buyer who claimed a refund was in possession of their goods and that they offered this proof to paypal but they ignored it that any court would agree that paypal acted corerectly and therefore you must pay them the money they helped the scammer steal from you.

it's blatent iresponsible behaviour on paypal's part which thereby exposed you to loss so i fail to see for what reason a court would deny you the right to reclaim that money from paypal.

personally i always put if you wish to collect cash on collection, if you want to pay via paypal thats fine but postage is x. I never allow a buyer to pay paypal on collection and ive never had a problem, must buyers want to pay cash on collectio so they can inspect the item it works both ways!

if i had sold something for nearly £600 and my buyer insisted on paypal and collecting, alarm bells would ring and i would insist they paid for the courier charges.

cats!

Any update on the outcome then??

I always pay cash when I collect a item & I would expect the buyer to pay cash,if I were the seller.
Paying by Paypal for a collection item really is bad form old chap!.
