“Yes and no... They can dispute the transaction, which causes Paypal to hold up the money until it’s resolved - and that can take weeks or months. If you sold what was advertised, you’ll eventually win but it can take a LONG time.
Don’t take Paypal - take cash.”
Incorrect, if the buyer disputes and if you don’t have an official delivery confirmation, you lose. And if you do use a delivery confirmation, they can always file a ‘item not as described claim’ and of course you will lose. Never sell anything of value via paypal!!! If the customer is a crook, you will lose! Sorry to be so dramatic, but paypal is the best pal a crook has ever had. Have been selling online since 2002, i sell lots of small value stuff, 5-10-15 dollar sales, and have been scammed many times, but the value is small enough that no one sale can break me, but it is very easy to scam on paypal. DO NOT SELL VIA PAYPAL. If it is valuable, Cash only and move on if they refuse. If the are a crook, and no there way around paypal, you will lose. There are websites that school crooks on how to scam sellers on paypal...beware!
Sounds to me like whoever is trying to purchase this is a crook by demanding paypal.
I beg to differ with you. I had a buyer for a tractor, about $6K. He sent his ranch hand to come look at it and was satisfied with it. Through paypal I sent him an email invoice for that amount and in the remarks section of the invoice I entered all sales final, sold as is where is.It left him with no recourse. He paid with credit card and I was immediately credited to my bank account. Less 2.9 %
