has anyone had any bad experiences with buying stuff over the net with paypal?

i just tried to buy new rims from america and i have more than enough money on my card but it declined my card and wouldnt give a reason.. im pretty pissed off because i think these are the only rims i have seen in ages that i actually like..

any feedback would be welcome and move the topic if needed i had no idea where to put it and it related to rims.

cheers guys,

Alex

Limit on single transactions from your bank ?

Isnt there a way to put money into your paypal account, so its there and ready?

Try doing that, either in a single movement, or multiple s ?

Or hit up the bank.

Did you get a two digit number shown up when it declined? they act as a code, like EFTPOS machines do.

here is the rims i want.. if anyone knows where i can get them in oz i would happily buy them.

i have spent over 2K in one transaction at harvey norman before and no worries.. this was only going to be $830..

so im a bit confused.

again if anyone knows where i can get these in oz it would be a lot easier. cheers.

I can only thing of two things...

1. As others have suggested - daily transaction limit from bank.

2. Have you confirmed your Paypal account yet? With Credits you do not have to do this - whereas bankcards you do.

I have used Paypal on many transaction - all went well plus there's free insurance up to $20K so that's peace of mind for you too.

I can't add my bank account to my PayPal account, and here is why!

This is the third time I have added my bank account to a PayPal account. First two times I deleted my account because I decided not to have one, as they are an absolute scam if you sell a few things on eBay. I decided to get PayPal again, as it is now the standard for making any transaction on eBay. I couldn't add my bank account this time, since their policy is not to allow it to be added for a third time, as it might be shifty.

I gave them a call to discuss my options. My only option is to get a new bank account. I will definitely not be doing that anytime soon! So now I have money sitting in there that I can't get across to my bank account, and since eBay has made it the standard for transactions then it looks like I am crippled when using eBay.

It's a stupid system if you ask me.

    • Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛  
    • Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it  
    • Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!
    • Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.
    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
