I need some opinions guys !!!!! Paypal help ! Pleaseee
 

So the story goes .... I have a buyer who wants to send me 500 via paypal for a piece of artwork. I've had this account since 12/17/2010, and its been confirmed with netspend for about the same time. My question is ... Is it safe to receive this, and if not .. What are my other options ???? I do have intentions on transferring the money to the netspend. But it would be my worst nightmare to receive the payment and get the account limited and funds frozen. Thanks again guys :pout:

hi
very risky i guess!!! but wait for more expert opnions.

Paypal less than 2 months old - off eb ay sale too for $500 - have you made any withdrawals successfully? I would still avoid pa yp al unless you have to - being in the U.S. ,you have a LOT of options - search Net + forums.

Nope ! This is my first withdrawal with this account

I would try to have a different payment option - or send it WITH tracking and wait - let customer e-mail you back stating he has received the item THEN withdraw and don't withdraw everything.

Anyone else ???

risky. its a newish account, and a large transaction (for a new account) i would say the odds are against you 80 / 20, in regards to getting the money out, and the account being suspended, as soon as you try. find another payment option, or someone who has an older pp account with a stable track record, that they will allow you to use.

i dont know if its just in the usa but i once received 1,300 dollars for a item i was selling and my account was fine it wasn't till i hit the 5k mark is when i got limited

Yea. I was really working my a** off trying to find someone who would let me use they're paypal and had no clue. Everyone I knew was limited or had either just made one. lol. The good news is. The money came through about 20 mins ago and it shows available, and i haven't got hit with a limit yet. So ... Im sooooo keeeping my fingers crossed that everything goes according to plan. How long should I wait before I withdraw ??? and how much do you guys think ???

wait until tracking shows it was successfully delivered. Of course, get signature confirmation...

the limit, if it comes, will be when you try to withdraw. as the other poster said, add tracking and wait.

make sure not try and spend it all or withdraw it all

Well ..... I made a withdrawal of 207.00 from the 500.00 yesterday guys. Still no limit yet. I'm just hoping it goes through to the netspend now. Especially being that the paypal is under my middle name, and my netspend is under my first name. They both have the same last name though

The transfer went through successfully guys !!!

thats great now i would recommend that you wait till you get another payment before withdrawing any more :)
:humble:

Congrats
 

Hello:
Congrats! don't withdraw another 250 or so, wait atleast a week, its not a rule or anything, i just do like that. for next time i would suggest alternate to paypal, may be use ccnow.

congratulations!

Just transfered 210.00 ... Did that at about 1:11 PM ... No limit after the withdrawal .. I'm hoping this one goes through just as smooth as the last one ..

Keep us posted! Did it go through?

Yep .. Second one went through guys ... Maybe netspend does work after all !

I just transferred the last of it about a hour ago .. Still no limit .. I'm almost positive it will go through.

Nice and all was done pretty fast! You are very fortunate knowing how people are saying Netspend causes problems.

Did you put tracking number first and waited until item was delivered to make the withdrawal?

Congrats.

You are very lucky.

I know I would not have done this on a newer account.

Give you credit, you got the guts and it worked out.

Good job!

I actually didn't post the tracking number until a couple of days ago. !

well done !:D

Hi there, based on koopa314's post, netspend works for transferring money out of paypal. i think i read on other posts that it does NOT work, that netspend is not good for this. why does it work sometimes and other times not?
does anyone know if i can use my greendot account for paypal withdrawls? i have a stealth paypal so the names would not match (i read that paypal can't see the names, that you just enter the account numbers). i read that using prepaid debit cards for paypal withdrawls does not work, anyone have a definitive answer on greendot for this?
Thank you!
