Title: Paypal/eBay issues
Post by: Izret101 on February 13, 2009, 07:44:50 PM
For some reason i am not getting any of the payments people send me.
I went thru eBay/Paypal and removed all my old email addys so i have no clue what the problem could be.
Alot has changed in the 2-3 years since i last sold on eBay so could someone clue me in to what i am not seeing?

Basically i have just sent messages back to all the winners with my address in it and asking them to cancel payment and send it there.

Did you upgrade to a premier account? I think you need to have a premier account to accept certain types of payments like credit cards and such. It's a free upgrade though so no biggie. Also I seem to remember sellers needing to configure their accounts to accept e-checks as well.

Thats what I hate about the premier account though.  Its a "free" upgrade, but you have to pay a percentage on all transactions where you get money.  The basic accounts don't charge for paypal to paypal and e-check transfers, but the premier and business accounts do.

Yeah, but you only get so many payments made via credit card with a personal account. And the rate on CC payments in lower with a premier.

Yea i've had a premier account for awhile.
That was the first problem i encountered was it wanted me to upgrade to a business account to recieve one of the payments so i knew there was a problem.

2 of the payments went to my old comcast addy so i thought i had fixed that problem by updating to my new gmail one but all the other payments just didn't show up even though they were sent.

Something is going wrong in the checkout process i think.
But what it is i just don't know.

Thanks for the help thus far guys. :)

Could it be a typo in the Paypal email address they are sending to? Maybe you put your Paypal address into ebay as izret@internet.co.m or something.
