How to know if its safe to ship this item? (Payment Through Paypal)?
So i'm trying to sell my iphone 6 and today someone contacted me and offered me 700 dollars including shipping costs (i wanted 510 dollars for the phone) The shipping address is in Nigeria and the shipping costs are going to be quite high (50-60$) I have received an email from paypal saying i have received 550$ of the money and the rest will be there once i send them proof of delivery. This is my first time using paypal and i'm afraid of fraud. Can someone provide me with any guidance?
That is a total fraud - paypal is a bank and has nothing to do with the buyer/seller relationship.
The email supposedly from paypal is a fake.
If any money appears in your paypal account, it will likely be from a stolen credit card and get taken back after a few days.
Have nothing at all to do with the supposed buyer. If they make any threats, contact the police.
- Why is Paypal charging me more for selling an item than necessary? I sold an iPhone for $485 on eBay, and I know Paypal's fee's are 2.9% + $.30 for selling an item. So it should be $14.37 right? No, it's $19.22… Why is it like $5 more than it should be? Help! It was an international payment, so it was 3.9% instead plus $.30 so I got my answer. I called up and they gave me credit for the issue though.
- This payment method can't be used with the iTunes Store. Try again using another payment method. I get this error when adding PayPal? As a payment method. I live in the US and this is an option. I've contacted my bank, iTunes and PayPal and they say their is no problems at their ends so what is going on and how can I fix this. Btw I use to use PayPal as a payment method
- Iphone apple order, status? And paypal payment? I've ordered a phone on apple which was £699 a couple minutes ago. It says on my paypal pending but apple has given me an email saying its being processed and due to arrive tomorrow. I don't actually have £699 in my paypal or bank until friday. I just tried it and it worked instead of declining. Its done it before but just gone into minus funds on my paypal until money has been put into it. Will i still receive my item tomorrow or not?
- I was curious if someone purchased an item but when the item was delivered no payment was received, is this illegal? Thanks for opening my question, I'm curious because I used an app called letgo and sold an iPhone 7 plus for $300. I agreed with the buyer if he showed proof of sending money via moneygram he agreed he would tell me the reference number after it delivered to him. Well it delivered and I have no contact. I have his address, if I report this too the police will they prosecute it?
