Selling an iPhone through PayPal?
I listed an iPhone on eBay and the buyer wanted to pay through PayPal so he gave me his email and we spoke through there. He paid me today through PayPal however there was no fees deducted from me… Usually 3.4% but somehow I received the full payment. It seems as though he sent it through the "friends and family" option. Is he unprotected as a buyer? I'm planning on shipping the iPhone to him tomorrow. Am I safe sending it? I know I broke eBay rules. But 10% seller fees is too much tbh.
What's your say in this?
The buyer may be a scamster. Friends & family offers no protection.
You could keep his money. He may try sending you his own paypal link which of course would be fake.
Paypal transactions can be reversed if the guy is a scammer. So you can't really count on it at all.
Id try to sell it locally for $5-20 more. And meet in person at a busy place.
- 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.
- Which is better: selling on amazon or selling on ebay? I have an individual seller account and I've noticed that my products sell much faster or ebay. However, I sold two iphones. My final sale fee $1100. However, ebay charged me a final sale fee of $135 Then I was charged $40 by paypal Then I paid $60 total to ship both items. On my amazon account I sold 1 phone. The phone cost $180 Amazon took out $30 Shipping cost $10 So I made $140
- SELLING FEES ON EBAY AND PAYPAL? - 1 I'm about to begin selling iPhone cases on eBay, I have over 500 in stock. I plan to sell each for 10-15 dollars. What would be my best way to make the shipping cost it's lowest? And make the eBay fee and PayPal fee as low as possible. I know different eBay accounts exist but I'm not sure which one to use. I'm hoping someone with experience can assist me.
- Paypal Through Craigslist, I'm Paying? I'm Paying. I'm very fluent with PayPal and know my protections. The seller's story is he's out of town in Portersville, GA, which checks out because his area code is near Macon, GA which is very close to the area of dealing via Atlanta Craigslist. He's PP verified, confirmed, and willing to give me verification pictures with text that I have given him to put on a paper. Does this sound like a scam? It's for a 64GB iPhone 5S, most 16GB go for 350-400.
