Paypal Alternatives

lord odin · 12-19-2011, 12:06 AM

I think i'm done with Paypal next week if they side with this scammer I sold a statue to.
So what alternatives are there besides using them?
I only have one more big sale to do on Ebay and i'm not going to take a chance of them giving that scammer a penny.

Through ebay there are no other alternatives. Paypal is owned by ebay....so paypal is all you can use. Pretty nice scam really.

I prefer selling my statues either here in Statueforum or SideshowCollectors. Screw eBay.

I just sold a Doom PF excl on here but I was paid using paypal.
I need something other than paypal in case they freeze my account.

If you're not using ebay, you don't need to use Paypal. Just have folks pay you with money orders.

Of course, you can always just open a second Paypal account as well.

I have an Ebay account and would like to keep using it if I can.
So you're saying I can keep my Ebay account and just get another paypal account as well?
I don't won't paypal to be able to freeze and take my money with the new second account.
Ufcking scammers

and it wouldn't surprise me if he's a member on here.

You can have a Paypal account without have in ebay account, so opening a new one with a different bank account/CC is certainly possible. It won't help you on ebay, but you'll have it to use on transactions over the forum.

It sucks i'm in limbo over one guy.
Even if I get another paypal account the name is still the same.
I e-mailed paypal friday morning telling them the seller was trying to extort money from me and I haven't heard back from them except some lame automatic reply e-mail.

In 12 eBay years, (knock on wood) I have never had a single client complain. However, I must admit, I still have that small lingering fear that one day, a buyer will claim an item shipped damaged (when it didn't), or worse, will ship back an empty box which should contain a pricey comic book or piece of original art, and that I will find myself with little to no recourse.

Well my paypal account is now frozen and in the negative.
