Paypal Payment & sending goods !

HI all.

Just sold an item for £91. The buyer paid instantly by Paypal.

They have 12 feedback with 1 negative for npb.

Unfortunately I am not eligible under paypal`s seller protection for this item, as his address is unconfirmed etc etc...........

I have transfered the funds to my bank account. and am wondering whether or not for it to go into my account before I post the items, or post the items immediately??

What do you lot think !!

    If I was the buyer and you waited you would have a big -ve. It will take 10 days to get into your account.


    For goodness sake 99% of folk are fine. All you have to do is ensure you have proof of delivery. If you were upto to something you would be bidding on something worth more than £91!!

    You do have to be careful though Hintza, especially as Liz_Uk buyer has only 12 feedback with a negative. If you state item will be sent as soon as funds are cleared in your account, then that counts for Paypal payments too.. I wouldn't risk a low feedback buyer who's address was not confirmed. No matter how much they pay, you can get ripped off..

    Hi,

    When I received my first payment to PayPal, was around 150GBP, did think same like you. Transfered funds, but posted my item with special delivery that insures me for 250GBP, and gave reference of the postage to the buyer.

    You done all safety checks, it should be fine - post it.

    I tell you that you can get a negative feedback not because you did something wrong, because your buyer was stupid to buy, and then think.
    Have you got something to share - Do it.
    When you don't know - Ask.
