    Hello!

    Yeah payday is tenth of the month but since its a saturday we get paid on the ninth.. so nice.

    I started to worry about the ebayer who bought my phone.... what if he is a scammer? hes got a 200 reputation though, but I noticed he has been buying expensive mobile phones.. and todfay he chased, he asked if I have dispatched it yet, he asked nicely but what if he wants to cancel payment as soon as he finds out I have dispatched??

    gosh i am stressed out...

    Hi there. My pay day is last Thursday in every month so, 29th March for me :eek:

    too many 5 weeks months in a year for my liking.

    As for the man who bought the phone, if he has paid already by PayPal and you have transferred it across to your account already, how can he cancel it?

    If he did, surely it would be up to PayPal to sort it as they are middle men after all.

    Stop stressing!

    paypal can leave your account with a negative balance giving it a limited status for quite some time

    this happened to my friend when paypal gave her a refund for a company that went bankrupt, she banked the money then they gave her a negative balance and it took her 2 months for them to make the balance normal again although her account is still limited

    paypal have some naughty ways sometimes so be careful of them

    Thank you.... but actually, the fact that this buyer has a 200 feedback and bought lots of mobiles before, makes me feel a bit better... what do you think?

    Have you actually checked his feedback - any negatives? Why would anyone want to buy lots of phones? I hope I am just being paranoid :confused:

    I just refused a buy it now offer from someone as I was suspicious of their rating.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
