I just won a relatively expensive item on ebay ($450), and when I sent payment via paypal, it told me that the paypal user was unregistered. I've never experienced this before, but it gave me the option to cancel payment while it was pending, so I immediately did. I'm sure the seller will not be pleased, because their listing stipulated prompt payment, but now I'm suspicious thinking that THIS is why they want prompt payment...to get the $ before I figure out how risky it is lol. Any insight into the risks/protections available to purchases from non-registered PP sellers would be appreciated. Thanks! |
