Default Will GCO reverse/hold this money?

OK, I sold an item on the 25th for $1300 via a GCO e-mail invoice. The payout tab says the payout occurred on the 26th. I'm on the standard two day payout schedule so I assume it actually occurred on the 27th?


Early this morning I received the following e-mail...


"Hello,

In order for us to verify your account, we need additional information
about your business that wasn't requested during the signup process.
Please see this help center article for more information on this process:
https://checkout.google.com/support/...tinue&hl=en_US.

Though you can still accept and charge new orders at this time, you'll
need to verify your account in order to continue processing transactions
through Google. Failure to submit the required documentation can result in
delayed payouts, refunded orders, or account suspension. We'll email you
again once we've received and verified your information.

If you have any additional questions, feel free to reply to this email.

Sincerely,

The Google Payments Team"



The link had a small checklist to complete (send in some docs), but it also said if a website is added to my contact details page the checklist is waived. I added a website, but it's not a business site... just an auction site and there is no way to create a direct link to my items for sale on this one. I sent them an e-mail explaining that etc.

They payout is not in my bank account yet, but it has only been one or two days and it's the weekend of course. Does GCO reverse/hold payouts? If so, do they tell you that is the case?

Is this your 1st payment from GCO?

You're going to have to provide that info.... have you shipped the item yet? I hope not. You're better of refunding your buyer and getting them to pay another way.

Agree with First Edition - play safe on this one, follow the steps or avoid.

I haven't shipped it yet. I think I'm ok with GCO now as they just sent me this...

Google will rape you. Trust me. Starting out they are THE WORST. That's a huge payment to take for your first one. Beware.... I had one account with about 2 grand in it.... after I delivered everything, they decided to refund my buyers on my behalf (even after I uploaded tracking) Then they put my account in the negative some how. After two years I ended up getting around 200 dollars from them. It was because I sold too much too fast.

Second that - the problem with GCO is that they will NOT even let you know that judgement has been rendered and funds are being returned.

Okay, so this one thing happened to me before and I was able to verify it.

However, aside from my real CGO, I had a stealth one and decided to add a ssn/tax ein attached to the account plus birth date and collected over $7000+ in the first week with my stealth. I found this one forum, and this one guy was able to beat it as described above.

The thing is Google fraud team, will eventually ask you to verify ether ID's, SSN or Email (Now even Credit Cards for buyers), within the first two months, but if you just add this information it can be false, they do only a name search through data based or a soft inquiry on your credit to verify name. Even if you information comes back negative or the name belongs to an account. Regarless, they just use city records or skip your account entirely and even put you on a standard payout. So I decided to see if it actually worked and I created rhis one account with only a credit card not ssn/ein just name and credit card. Sold a few and received a message fast in 24hrs of selling my item.

The trick works and I no longer use the stealth account but is active to date.

I did about $10,000 through this account so far with no problems after I updated my profile with the URL. It's in my real name though and I provided my real SSN etc. Another account I set up that was stealth went down... I can't even log in... it's been totally deleted.

yes just , they are only allowing you to have one acount and you probably got link to your account or you are using a VPN (proxy) was detected. Regarless, is blocked and you cannot fight it.

No VPNs/Proxies. I actually connect from different states within one state. I bet it went down because the SSN was false... I'm sure they can verify that at least. There was no money in this account at the time so its ok and I can get more.

Submitting false SSNs? Really classy.
