Am I safe receiving gifts on PayPal?
I'm selling an iPhone through PayPal. The buyer sent me a payment. It's clear. But his payment email address and the email address we talk on has different names. He wants me to ship the iPhone to him. But something's fishy. So my question is can PayPal take this gift (family and friends option) back?
What do you advise me?
Not unless if the guy orders a chargebacks claiming fraud on your iPhone and you're forced to return that money wast sent to you. Paypal can't do anything its the credit card or bank company who will order these things.
No; a gift is a gift. The odd bit is that he didn't ask you for an invoice first. He could just be inexperienced… Or he could be fraudulent. If you have concerns, ask him why the e-mail addresses are different (could be a perfectly reasonable explanation); and check the address to which you send the phone is Paypal verified AND you use a tracked, insured method of delivery.
- Should I tell my grandma that I don't want or like any of my gifts? I got a snickers bar, I Giants World Series T-Shirt, a huge expensive Cutting Board, An Anatomy coloring book for class. All I wanted was an IPad 3 and 27" Inch Mac Pro. And IPhone 5. Not hard. And she has MONEY. I can't stand cheap *** people. None of this crap I want. Cutting board was over $150 bucks. This things is 40 pounds of wood. But I wanted 40 pounds of computer parts.
- Is it safe to sell iphone on Craiglist and let the buyer wire the money from Paypal? One guys found my listing on Craiglist and wanted to wire me the money and then I ship him the phone. Is there any way for him to take the money back from my paypal? We're not doing thru Ebay because ebay charges me a ton for selling it.
