Pay Pal Dispute Interstitial Service Page

Partial post copied from the .com Powersellers Board


In talking to our Pay Pal rep today, I found that Pay Pal has stepped up to the plate to allow sellers an interstitial page between the buyer asking to start a dispute and committing to opening a dispute. I am sure some of you already know this and I wish we would have known this some time ago.

To get to the settings, once in Pay Pal click on Profile, then my selling tools(Selling preferences on .ca) and scroll down to Customer Service Message. Click edit and type what you want. The only time this information is seen is when the buyer requests to open a dispute. According to our Pay Pal Rep, sellers that are using this function have seen a dramatic drop in international disputes and disputes in general.

Here is what the page states when you get there:

By personalizing a customer service message, you let buyers know that their satisfaction is important to you. Buyers will see this message before they open a dispute in the Resolution Center.

You may wish to provide your customer service number, summarize your return policy, or include a note about how you handle customer service inquiries.

For example, "Your satisfaction is our top priority. If you have a problem with a transaction, just let us know and we will work with you to resolve the issue. You can open a dispute or call us at 1-402-935-2050. We will make every effort to respond to all customer service inquirie

Thanks for sharing the information PJ. It would be really nice if eBay had posted something about it in the Announcements on .ca.

I was told that there is some sort of message there already about contacting the seller first which I didn't realize I agree that paypal or ebay should have posted this info when it became available.

It seems like in most cases, we find out about changes because we just happened to stumble upon them, not because ebay has told us.

But then, if ebay posted all the changes, we would be so busy reading about them, we wouldn't have time to list. LOL

Hi PJ,

Well, I had to look up the word interstitial....finally found a definition that made sense regarding PayPal.

This would be/is a great tool and as Judy mentioned....it should have been advertised for all sellers!

Glad that you shared!
