Hello K2,
Whenever you sell an item that is via Local Pickup, you should always
insist on
CASH Only.
If a customer attempts to make a Paypal payment for the local pickup, then you should refund it
immediately by logging in to your Paypal account and clicking the
DETAILS link next to the transaction and then scrolling to the bottom of that page and click REFUND.
Then as I said, you should inform them to bring CASH ONLY when they pick the item up.
I have also heard about sellers being beatin on a local pickup with Bad checks and fake money orders.
CASH is allowed by ebay for local pickup of items.
The Paypal
Seller protection policy has a
strict set of guidelines that every seller should follow, or else you are leaving yourself wide open for a very negative expierence.
When you choose to accept Paypal,
online trackable proof of delivery must be used on every single item and also must show that the item was
in fact delivered. For items
under $250, USPS
Delivery Confirmation is sufficient. Items over $250 require
Signature Confirmation. Either of the methods are
Online Trackable via this link:
Link This is a link to the
current Seller Protection policy that we have to follow for now:
Link This is a link to the revisions of the Seller Protection Policy that will go into effect in
October:
Link If you do not follow the policy, then you risk loosing
every single dime on every transaction, and not to mention you will also loose your merchandise as well. And also may have to pay additional fees for failure to follow the policy.
As always, we have a choice to disregard the Policy and do things our own way, but in the end we truely have nobody to blame but ourselves when we go out of the guidelines and suffer a loss.
Anyone who uses Paypal to accept payments has automatically agreed to the terms of these policies, even if they have never read them. Also when Paypal revises or updates a policy, (which is well announced each time it happens), we also automatically agree to the new terms, even if we didn't hear about the changes.
The policy update that goes into effect in October will give sellers FAR MORE Seller Protection than what is now currently in effect.........
if we follow the rules.
Must use Buy It Now and PayPal.
