Paypal.....

[PUDZ 32R]

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

ive never had a prob with paypal. probs better off go to your bank hey.

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.

what site are you trying to buy the rims from and maybe post a pic of rims you want, should be able to find them in aus

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.

then a few days later i get a letter from the bank and the bastards charge me $35 (dishonest fee) its a goverment cheque its not goin to bounce or anything

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.

you do have to verify your account even if you do have a credit card to lift all sending limits, when i was trying to buy an item for $1800 wouldnt let me until i got verified

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.
