TFP Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I just talked to PayPal and the only thing they said is to make sure your listings (on eBay, etc.) are very detailed and that you have exact pictures showing your item and even take photos of the item in packaging. I also asked about peer-to-peer (sending money for goods and services) and the PayPal person said to document in the notes details of what the buyer is buying from you. PayPal also said if the buyer leaves you feedback on eBay, that's good too and should end/finish the transaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooks Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Yeah i don't like this. 45 days was fair. Makes me wary to ever sell through PayPal to randoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriswamsley Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Does this affect any transactions within the last 45 days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFP Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Does this affect any transactions within the last 45 days? The PayPal person says it starts in November. 21st I think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriswamsley Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 The PayPal person says it starts in November. 21st I think?

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I've got a discogs order I wasn't super sure on, but he's seeming to be more on the level than a dude on here I ordered from a couple days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stravinsky Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Now every paypal seller is essentially offering a 6 month warranty on used items. I would expect the buyer's remorse claims to increase tenfold with this extension, too. Having sold items on sleazeBay for the last 15 years, I have seen a significant change in the level of flaky buyers. I spent many years without encountering a single irrational/flaky buyer - now the number seems to be approximately 1 in 5. Extending the window to 6 mos for them to file a claim is absurd. As a buyer, I feel this extension is irrelevant. 45 days is FAR longer than I need to make a judgement if a seller is ripping me off and a claim needs to be filed. jtcohenour and mrc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFP Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 This is BS, I found this on another forum: Don't forget that sellers are also going to be required to pay return shipping for SNAD cases now! So if someone decides they are done renting your bag/shoes/dress the not only do you have to refund their original purchase price and shipping, but you have to pay for them to return it as well! AND you don't get any fees returned! Yaaaay! You have to pay return shipping AND you do not get your PayPal fees back! SNAD=Significantly Not As Described Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoidantroyd Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I'm guessing this is a new implementation because ebay/paypal are scared that Alibaba will take over as the face of worldwide online retail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrc Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 looks like this is motivation to post all the records i want to clear out ASAP before this rule comes into play. TFP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFP Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 It looks though as if "Personal Payments" are not covered under this new policy, so peer to peer transactions should be safe i.e. here on VC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 It looks though as if "Personal Payments" are not covered under this new policy, so peer to peer transactions should be safe i.e. here on VC. Don't understand what you are saying. Are you talking about gifting payments because those were never covered and that makes no one safe.

TFP Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Don't understand what you are saying. Are you talking about gifting payments because those were never covered and that makes no one safe. All PayPal says on their site is "Personal Payments" so what I mean and discern from that is "Goods and Services" payments will not be subject the new policy changes. So not gifting.

kamalatapes Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 This is horrible for the seller of any item. On the 179th day simply snap photos of used item in bad shape and claim it was sent like that and the seller is screwedIf I ever run a small shop, I'm asking for gifted payments only and I'll explain how the 180 day window puts a seller at a disadvantage in the long haul against scammers.
