Selling with paypal...

Ok I am very surprised this info isn't on here. How do I get protected as a seller on paypal? Does the seller just send money then I accept it? Or do I need to send him an invoice first? Someone explain how this works please?

Usually if u r the seller, the buy sends money to paypal and paypal holds the money to protect the buyer. Then you would submit the shipping info that the post office provides a tracking number. Paypal also keeps tabs on whether the parcel is recieved and signed for. The buyer must inpsect and immediately request any refunds for any fruad or whatever. All this time, the money is being held by PayPal incase of any disputes.

I'm not sure what protection you are referring to as a seller.
Generally the buyer just sends funds to your PayPal email address and it will show up in your PayPal account.
You will get an email notification from PayPal when the funds have been sent.
Just make sure that the transaction is complete (not pending) before you ship the merchandise.

You could send the buyer an invoice, or the buyer can just pay you for goods. If the payment is greater than $750 you should request signature confirmation and tracking number from the shipping company to be covered by paypal seller protection. Make sure you only ship to the confirmed paypal address and add tracking info to paypal.

I believe the "mechanics" of using PayPal have already been thoroughly discussed . Thus my only input is to the ease and security of PayPal.

Personally have done transactions and found it to be a very useful way to conduct business. It's a good third party way go affect transactions especially with "dolls" .

Thanks everybody. I looked all over the selling area and couldn't find any info on it... For the most part seems legitimate. Thanks.

Here's the PayPal user agreement section that lists all the details regarding seller protection...

I bought a doll from someone who never shipped it.Thanks to PayPal I was able to dispute the transaction.
Always there will be some people who are not honest. So the next time I will prefer to buy a doll from local pickup if it is possible. To avoid so many problems.

I bought my doll from 1AM and used PayPal.
If it's good enough protection for a vendor, I think you'll be ok.

FWIW to buyers, PayPal gave me 6 months to pay as I used their credit card! Even then, the Seller is paid in full. PayPal is just giving the Buyer 6 months with no interest to pay it off.
Beware though, if you go over that 6 months, you'll get whacked with interest charges that are pretty steep.

There are also escrow services that will hold funds (in escrow) for a small fee until both parties are satisfied with the transaction. Ebay uses this type of service for large purchases such as vehicles.

Thanks all you guys for the details, i'm thinking about selling my doll easily and safely right now. Apparently, paying for goods has more protection as paying to person is not considered as a transaction in Paypal.

We dropped paypal as a payment processor because they "froze" our money in some cases up to 180 days - and I am not talking about complains. Paypal is a joke and has almost no seller protection whatsoever. As a buyer you can simply order a product, receive it, tell paypal that you didn't receive it and get your money back. It's a mess. Everyone is talking about seller fraud, but no-one is really thinking about how risky it is to be a seller and work with paypal or other payment processors. For anyone who doesn't want to take my word for i, just google "paypal buyer fraud" ... we work only via bank wire now and its going perfectly. Yes, its more complicated but at least it protects both sides.

Proof of delivery is all it takes to have your money "unfrozen"
For example, all you do is enter the tracking number from FEDEX
Once paypal sees the package is delivered, the funds are released.

It's not that easy with Paypal, once your account is "limited". They make you jump through all sorts of hoops to remove the limitation from an account, for reasons as simple as the IP address you log in from. If anything is deemed suspicious by Paypal, the account access is limited and funds are frozen for 180 days. They are then required to turn the funds over to the state (if in the US) as "unclaimed funds".
Paypal offers lots of buyer protections but as a seller you are "guilty until proven innocent".
I use them only as a last resort.

There was one person selling a doll, because he did not ship in a timely manner, he had two disputes within a couple months so two reversals were done. Not a good thing, right?
At that point, PP would hold his money for about 30 days.
In my case, the person filed a claim, as soon as I entered the tracking number, funds were released.
I got an item on ebay, not as pictured. Filed a dispute. Sent pictures of what I got and I got all my money back.
If PP sees a huge increase in volume from selling anything, they can limit account pending answers like tracking numbers. It happened to me, i called them, gave status of about ten transactions and within 24hours, my account was back to normal.
