Paypal not letting me use instant transaction anymore?? only echeck?? wtf!
 

has anyone came across this before?.. everything was perfect and letting me instant transaction for everything.. not all i can do is echeck, i cant change it to anything else its all grey and wont let me click. why is this? echeck takes like a week this is b.s.. i didnt even do anything wrong every transaction went threw and all packages were shipped really quick. any1 know wassup?

This echeck is from your buyer's side - they must be paying from bank.

As rsot said and the buyer have not lift there $500 limit and only bank account attact to PP

no thats what i would think but then i told the buyer that and she got pissed saying that her limit is lifted that it goes threw instantly everytime. and that it came straight out of her bank account why havent i recieved it. so i was like ok idk thats weird. but then i went to buy something and my only payment option was echeck and so i bought it and just as i thought, its pending for like 5 days later.. any1 know what it could be?

Did you recently change a cc card or add or change checking?

i added a bank account but that was like a few weeks ago and it was still letting me do instant transfer after until now.

What about transactions an increase or maybe inactivity? OR a refund to someone maybe?


Just tryna trouble shoot

yea i did pay for a item and the dude refunded me and then it like happened right after that too. u think that could be it?

For instant payments using back... First of all it isn't instant.. What happens is paypal will give you a VERY small credit line and then ACK your bank 2-3 days later. When your "credit line" is up.. PayPal will stop funding the "instant bank transfer" till they collect money from your previous "instant payments".

I hope that makes sense to you.

Edit: It's like you make a check and paypal will pay the bill for you. Then 3 days later paypal will attempt to "cash" the check and get their money back. When you make too many checks, paypal will not pay the bill anymore and wait for the other checks you made to clear. After that the instant bank xfer will start again with a little more "credit line"....

Yup I think we may have found out why, because paypal are like paranoid cokeheads... The same thing happened to me except I was the one who refunded the buyer and boom no more instant xfers

That might have flagged it for no more instant xfers they probably thought you were a risk to pay back that cash

Mbrice I have the same issue with one of my accounts. When buying the only option I'm allowed now is echeck, when before I was allowed to used my credit card.

If you read what I posted youd know why

it goes to echeck when you have used up your backup funding cap.... after transactions go by you can increase the cap again.

I kind of understand what you mean, but I don't see how Paypal is giving me a credit line to use my own money. When I sent the money Paypal made money off the transaction by charging the recipient a fee. So why should it matter whether one uses an echeck or a credit card? If your talking about Paypal collecting INTEREST on the transaction that's a different topic.

It's always echeck... It's just that sometimes paypal picks up the tab till the check clears... I don't know what's so hard to understand about that.

Atomic, That's not true.. I did an instant bank transfer on my pp with real info a few months ago, and it was debited from my bank account immediately.

Lately it has only given me the option for echeck also.

I've had that same issue. For about 2 years I have been using my personal real info Paypal account to buy off of DHgate. My last order couldn't be completed because the credit card option was no longer available to me.

I then tried to use bank account info instead to purchase but Paypal 7 times declined that also even though I had hundreds more in bank account than what I was requesting. I kept getting error message that I did not have enough money in my Paypal account to pay for items. So it seems that I can't even pay through bank account. I went to Western Union to make transaction.

damn thats so gay.. it makes sense now but still i mean every single thing ive bought went threw no problem.. so will it allow me to do instant transfer again after they realize all my purchases have gone threw no problem or will it always be like this on that account?

Maybe some of the Sellers will take your payment by mail

I put that in my listings now.

No Echecks, sorry. You can mail payment instead

yea i doubt people would care to do that on ebay. everybody wants to make sure they can get there money back if they need too.

Well put...

I had over 4 buyers yesterday want to buy an item so bad...and I said...pay via PP or my google checkout and pay and I will ship it.

They said no because when they buy that way...they are not protected??!?!

lol.. whats funny is thats the way i feel too lmao.. but theres really not much other options out there. i hate using paypal. and day in and day out its another issue wit them. but they know they have the power to do so, so thats what they do.

Yeah they are being brainwashed very well by Paypal.
It might depend upon the feedback though. A few send me cash.

mbrice09 im currently going through the same problem. I was sending instant bank transfers all the time with thousands in my bank. Now its not letting me send anything at all except echecks.

Were you ever able to send instant bank transfers again?

mbrice has not graced the forum with their prescene since the last post in 2010.

Not sure what reply to expect ::juggle:

Unless its a super pricey item. If someone pays via echeck, I ship product before it clears.

I agree with your thinking pepsimax - I also take into account the buyer's rep.

Not me, I got burned before on an echeck and wont do it anymore.

But I always send a message to the buyer that I got the message of your echeck and when it clears I will ship the item right away.

hi
 

did anyone ever get there instant payment back after so many payments were made echeck. im having the same problem just started today. HELP! should i make a new paypal or can you even do so??

Re: Paypal not letting me use instant transaction anymore?? only echeck?? wtf!
 

Ebay or Paypal never let me ever send instant money transfers ever again!

I have sent over 300 cleared echecks since my last post on this thread on 2-16-12 on my stealth buying account.

I dont know why Ebay or Paypal wont let me ever send money instantly again and now times are way different now then they were on 2-16-12. You cant even put money in paypal from the bank to send instantly anymore without giving them a SSN!!!

So the only choice is ECHECKS!!!!! SIGHHHHHHHHH

Please dont delete this post so people can see the useful information I have posted.

@secret storm

Do you have both a bank account and credit card added to Paypal? Both verified and confirmed?

Re: Paypal not letting me use instant transaction anymore?? only echeck?? wtf!
 

@secret storm, I figure there must be many variables going into why your payments remain as eChecks - perhaps even because of the bank you use (among other variables)
