Hi all

i have recently started selling stuff on ebay for the first time, and both items have sold, and both members have paid via paypal. My question is although the money is in my paypal account i have not yet verified my bank account with paypal to withdraw the funds into my bank account which takes a few days to do. Is it safe to send these items to them without the money actually being in my bank.
I only ask as would like to send the items out asap so that they are recieved quickly as i know what its like waiting for parts!!

any help much appriciated
Greg

Yes, if its in your Paypal account as cleared funds then its fine to send the goods out.

Unless they fund their pay pal account with a visa card then at anytime over the next 6 months they can complain to visa who will with out question reverse the transaction costing you money another scam to be aware of.

Yup, its fairly safe unless a scammers buys from you.

Make sure you post items recorded and signed for. If they claim you haven't sent items paypal will refund them.
