As I am not well versed with using paypal (as I despise giving people MY money for a service I can complete w/a postal money order) could someone please explain to me why if I was to purchase an item from another individual and have the transfer completed with paypal i.e. it shows on BOTH ends that the payment was completed to include me picking up the $16.00 and change fees for a "GIFT". Why would the individual not ship the goods I have already paid for and have proof of said transaction from paypal, because the seller says "paypal hasn't verified the funds yet"? Am I alone in thinking that's just a little f'kd up?
Shown as paid w/ my CC and shows transaction ID from paypal, yet seller states
"I called paypal and they said that because you sent it as a personal payment vs a purchase that they review it which may take up to 24 hrs. I assure you I will ship it out tomorrow once the payment has been verified"
Granted it's a mere 24hrs, but I'm still a bit put off. Am I being a douche? I ask because as I stated I am NOT a paypal user or fan (my wife's paypal account) Should I have NOT used the "gift" option for payment? I thought that by doing so I would not stick the seller w/ paypal's fees.....:dontknow:
