Make sure you have some really good contact info for the buyer if you do not know them personally. A friend of my wife's sold a laptop on eBay. Buyer used a credit card through PayPal. Buy picked up the laptop at this person's house. Next day PayPal pulls the funds because the credit card was stolen.euphster wrote:Has anyone here sold a horn and collected credit card payment through PayPal? I have a buyer for a euphonium who wants to do this, but is having trouble. My PayPal account is a "Premier" account which I think can accept credit cards, but I have never done it. I have also never used a card to purchase through this service. Any advice or instruction would be greatly appreciated. The buyer and I are not real familiar with the workings and are not much help to each other. I don't want the sell to go south because they can't figure out the payment.
PayPal is not a bank and does not offer the same protections a bank would.
