Hello Everyone
I would appreciate it if anyone might be able to clarify this one for me.I have some thoughts but ...
Sold 3 golf shirts to a fellow in California on Nov 30th. He paid thro Paypal.Items were shipped Dec 1st by CP expedited.They are almost there according to the tracking number.He has a 52 rating 100%
Rec'd a Paypal notice yesterday "During a recent review of our system we detrermined that you received funds from an account that reportedly has been associated with poossible unauthorized use.They then reversed the transaction.He has purchased items after my transaction.
His address was unconfirmed which is why Im not protected.Maybe it's just me but what could be the unauthorized use if he is getting the shirts anyday now and is still on ebay?
Thanks
rik

O-o-o-o!!! I forget that you are most friends!!! It is why you attack me so brave!!!! But remember that is not seniority on E-bay. It is not hospital or .....

bestshowtime · ‎12-27-2006

Good luck for everybody who try to attack me!!! I have really good defence which is call true!!!

vitale-what are you going to accomplish with all your comments? i don't believe anyone will respond anymore to your comments, unless you stop attacking and start posting normal and productive comments, what this board is actually for. nobody wants to attack you, but you are encouraging it!!

i'm sure if you post comments in a non subjective format, related to ebay content, people will start relating and replying to your comments, but all your previous comments have been counter productive

ps do you ever sleep!?!?!?

Thanks you, may be you are one who understand!!! May be I really tired from stupid posts.Trust me I never ever want to abuse any one!!! I'm sorry badd!!! I'm just tired to fight with monster like paypal alone!!! You are really good guy, sorry again if you feel that I abuse you. Best wiches in New Year!!! Kind regards, Vitali

u-deserv-it · ‎12-27-2006

that was a nice message vitali, thank you! i guess you've been irritated over paypal, you're not the only one and i do understand..while it is a good service, it does have its flaws, and i was able to read between the lines in your posts on how you were trying to warn people, but i think it came off the wrong way, as it was easy to interpret as personal attacks. sometimes messages through text alone are interpreted in different ways on both sides, as opposed to face to face conversation.
i don't think you intended on attacking anyone, i think you intended on warning people, but again, came off the wrong way.
i think you should start a new thread explaining that, and that your strong opinions may sometimes come off as personal attacks, and that while you may still feel strongly towards paypal, you never wanted to abuse anyone.

i'm not on anyone's side here, i'm not saying one side is right over the other, just feel bad that these boards have to turn out like this sometimes..i never believe people do anything bad intentionally..

happy 2007 full of ebay profits to you..!!

I too feel that PayPal has its flaws but I feel that it's one of those necessary evils in doing business online.
By using PayPal it makes it easier for the buyer to pay for their item. They don't have to run to the bank or post office to buy a money order and have to mail it to me which is an additional expense and time consuming for them. All they have to do is click on the Pay Now tab and the deal is done. I get my money instantly and I'm able to ship within a couple of days where as with a money order I have to wait a minimum of a week (usually longer) before I receive it and can then ship. I feel by not giving them this option I will lose a good % of my sales. I know that I'm paying for this service and I would like to have better protection for the seller but this is a CHOICE that I make. Nobody is holding a gun to my head saying that I have to use them.
bestshowtime, you feel that you don't need Paypal. That's fine, It's your CHOICE. I'll I try to do on this board is give my opinion. If you or someone else reads it and think it's a good or bad opinion that's fine either way. Anyone can choose to do whatever they want. I just have a problem if someone implies that my onion is stupid or that I'm not thinking.
I come to this board to read others' ideas and opinions and to give mine when I have one. I do not like the idea of fighting with someone when they don't agree and become aggressive. I think that I'm speaking for a few others when I say to you that if you disagree with someones opinion, just say you disagree. Tell them why you disagree if you want, but don't call it or them stupid or that they're not thinking. If you have a thought or opinion, post it. If someone feels it's good for them then they'll use it but if you continue putting people down then others will see your name and won't even read your posts. Nobody wins that way.
This is not an attack on anyone, just an opinion.
Wishing everyone Health, Happiness, Great sales and Better Communicating in 2007.

there's no doubt at all that paypal is the obvious choice for buyers and sellers alike, and there's no doubt as well that it has its flaws, like any other business. BUT...just like any other successful business, i'm sure they're always trying to improve areas that need improving on an ongoing basis, and yes...hopefully more protection for the seller...it seems to me that much of the protection right now is geared toward the buyer.
i guess nothing in this world is perfect...and nothing ever will be...but thinking of the positive, imagine if we didn't have a paypal! and if all ebay transactions really did take place via the mail-talk about slow...and i think more room for inefficiency than paypal..(fraudulent checks, mo's, slow wait times, getting lost in mail..etc..)

so i for one am glad paypal even exists and will wait patiently while it only improves to meet our needs over time..

Udeservit you're far too good to this person. There is NO misunderstanding of Bestshow's intentions or words. It's very clear that they're filled with anger and are openly insulting, belittling and attacking people. No if's, and's or but's about it.

He/she/it has done it more than once and to more than one person. Even if you give them the benefit of the doubt that all humans have bad days and can be grumpier than others, this person has done it in almost all of their posts on many different days. It's the way they are.

They're apparently soooo much smarter than the rest of us that they even hotlink the No PayPal logo from the PayPal sucks website in their listings. I bet they'd be just pleased as punch to know that. But I guess it is smart since they're not paying for the bandwidth, they just steal it from others. Why bother with the muss, fuss and cost of hosting your own images when you can steal them and the bandwidth that someone else pays for. :|

Come See What Else We've Got Up For Auction!

Sigh....I know, I know. I'm sorry. I have little tolerance for that stuff. I slapped my hands a few times too. LOL 😛

Congrats on the new book!! Marsha is a lovely lady. I met her at eBay Live and listen to her on eBay Radio. Very nice person. I'm thrilled for you and I wish you much success with it!! :-D

treasure-pot · ‎12-27-2006

Thanks Debbi... the title is actually "Starting an eBay Business for Canadians for Dummies". It was a lot of fun that basically involved tearing apart Marsha's initial work and rebuilding it with Canadian content.

We are just beginning the same process for Marsha's "eBay for Dummies". It will likely be available late next fall or early winter.

jakeeangel it is for Power Board!!! I think they didn't read this one!!!

And aren't you just a lovely example of an eBay Power Seller. Yay!

What's your PayPal account email address? I'll send you $1 so you can buy a clue!

I understand that you're incapable of listening and understanding what anyone has to say. Your sole purpose on here is to spew hatred and anger at PayPal because they found you high risk and untrustworthy. You offer nothing in the way of help, advice or assistance. Your mantra is to tell others to stop using PayPal. That's your cure for every PayPal problem. People are tired of it.
You are the best ignorant example on E-bay who just write and never think before writing and still(FEEL) sorry that you on Canadian power seller board!!!

People are tired of it.

Hi bestshowtime, You made a lot of posts, so many I didnt want to stop to ready them all, but you did make a valid point about postal money orders.

There is a phone number to call on the money order to confirm gauranteed payment. So if you accept postal money orders, you can gaurentee that payment with a phone call.

Does not necessarily apply to all money orders however. Some bank orders are hard to confirm. I deposited one that was sent by a buyer. Yes my listings specifically say Postal money order, however i got sent a bank order.

I did exactly, ask the bank is this good. The teller called the head teller and a conversation started. They said they thought it was good. Even with the extra check I was not so sure it was very valid.

Very good point on the phone number available to call on Postal Money orders for GAURENTEED PAYMENT. If you dont call the number and cash it and its false, no gaurenteed payment anymore.

Try settle down a bit. The discussion threads always have people that want to be critical of posts as well as the poster. The challenge is to settle down and concentrate more on the issue being discussed. Just ask a regular poster on the wealthyboomer site, bylo selli. He is a very well respected investor and poster there.

Congrats on the success you have managed to date. I have a tenant upstairs that is from out of the country, and he is certainly quite a good entrepreneur, even without writing skills etc.
