[violent_j]

Not sure where to post this i have looked so if a mod could move it if this is not the place thanks.


1 Question about PayPal... How can i Confirm/know if some has sent me payment as gift or not? it twice i have accepted payment thinking it was sent as gift and then having it put on held after the buying got my account/accounts

Example i sold one of my wow accounts, guy sent payment, i asked if it was sent as gift he said yes, and then 10 minutes after we traded (like we did this trade 40 minutes ago) i log back into paypal and seen the 120 is on hold now he made a claim........., Now i gotta call Blizz on monday and go through all that crap for it.... sigh Or... what can i say to insure maybe winning the dispute?

When you have recieved the payment, it should not have the sellers address. If they sent it regularly, their shipping address will be visible when you look at the transaction details.

I honestly don't know how he did that then. Maybe he's doing it through his credit card company, I'm really not sure. Sorry I couldn't help :/

Hello Rick Castor,

A review of recent transactions indicates that you might have received a
payment that the PayPal account holder did not authorize.

To protect you from problematic transactions, we sometimes request
additional information about PayPal payments.

We need more information about this transaction. Please log in to your
PayPal account, click the "Resolution Center"tab, and provide more
information by 1/29/2011.

We recommend that you not ship the item until our investigation is
complete. If you've already shipped the item, please log in and let us know
where you shipped it.

We have placed a temporary hold on the funds until we complete our
investigation.
