joessportster Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 so potentially sold the he500 heres the rub, paypal says the pmt is UNDER REVIEW https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/helpcenter/helphub/article/?solutionId=FAQ1837 After reading this I am inclined to return the payment and look elsewhere, the potential buyer has decent feedback on head-fi so I dont really understand this what would you do ??

Thaddeus Smith Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I thought we already addressed this? You're still a new paypal user and so your funds will continue to be done for a period of time until yiu build transaction history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joessportster Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 You are jumping to conclusions we have not addressed THIS, the last issue was a hold on my end this is a pmt under review because it is fishy to paypal, not even in the same ballpark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Smith Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Yup, my bad. I'd just let it play out.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Have you contacted the buyer for an explanation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joessportster Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) Yes I contacted him his response was Thanks for letting me know he did not see anything on his end and he will watch for any messages ?? seems kind of nonchalant about the whole thing.................... went over his feedback more carefully it appears he may be overseas and shipping to a us address, there were a couple mentions about international transactions, It has been over a year since he has recieved feedback english is a little broken as well Edited August 20, 2015 by joessportster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Smith Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 If he's not on US soil I'd cancel the transaction. too much hassle dealing with international tracking, claims, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joessportster Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 If he's not on US soil I'd cancel the transaction. too much hassle dealing with international tracking, claims, etc. My thoughts exactly, I am in no hurry to sell and certainly cant afford to spend money shipping them only to have paypal come back next week and take the $$ back for a fraudulent deal, They say it would be covered under seller protection but there are all kind of requirements that a seller must meet I also noticed the buyers address is not verified which I know used to be a must with paypal for any type protection to be valid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paducah Home Theater Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I wouldn't ship anything of worth to an unverified address. I have a hard enough time letting somebody pay with one even if they show up in person. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joessportster Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 Yep I went ahead and issued a refund..........................not worth the chance, maybe if it was someone I knew or someone here on the forums 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cradeldorf Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Paypal did that to me when I sold my altec 604's until I provided them with a bank account routing number they wouldn't give me my money. Needless to say I closed out the paypal account immediately when I got my money and will never deal with them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Naseum Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 PayPal is a good service.... Until it goes bad. When it does, you discover you are tied to a personless business...a machine with no human enter point. There no customer service because no one talks to customers.

Schu Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I've been using Pay Pal for years.... more than a Decade (early 2000). I have never had an issue with them that wasn't sorted out and learned from. Certainly they are quite expensive, but also quite useful.

Jim Naseum Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I've been PayPal customer since day one. I've done about 100 transactions, and only one was bad. But, that one was distressing for days, because my generation is used to being able to get a responsible person on the phone. We trust humans interaction and distrust automated action. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
