 Re: Payment Under Review - again....
Well, after a string of good luck without any payments going under review it just happened today. It really must be random as this amount is less than some that have cleared without review. I wish there was a way to stop this as I know the buyer and I know that the payments are legit. Just hate to call PP as I don't want them snooping around my account. I've asked this before, under Profile, and then My Selling Tools, there is Managing Risk and Fraud. Here is what it says:
Managing risk and fraud - Create and edit controls that let me automatically accept or decline certain types of payments.
Here's what you have to agree to:
1. Eligibility.
Only eligible merchants, as determined by PayPal, may use Risk Controls. If you are eligible for Risk Controls, PayPal will pass transactions to you as outlined below. These transactions may have a higher likelihood of risk. It is your responsibility to adjust the Risk Controls to determine whether you want to accept or decline such transactions. You may adjust the Risk Controls on the Risk Controls Overview Page on the PayPal website. If you would like to remove your ability to access Risk Controls, please contact your account manager.
2. Controls.
You may adjust your Risk Controls to accept payments that otherwise would have been declined by PayPal, including but not limited to:
(A) Direct Payments and Virtual Terminal payments are unable to verify the cardholder's address through the Address Verification Services. This is also referred to as AVS No Match.
(B) Direct Payments and Virtual Terminal payments that do not include a card security code. This is also referred to as Card Security Code Not Submitted.
(C) All payment types that failed PayPal's proprietary risk models.
Additionally, you may adjust your Risk Controls to decline payments that otherwise would have been accepted by PayPal, including but not limited to:
(D) Direct Payments and Virtual Terminal payments where the address entered by the cardholder only partially matches the information stored by the issuing bank.
(E) Direct Payments and Virtual Terminal payments where the Address Verification Service is unsupported or unavailable at the time the payment is processed.
3. Liability.
You understand that by using the Risk Controls to accept payments that otherwise would have been declined by PayPal your fraud loss rates may increase. In addition, you understand that you are solely liable for all transactions that you receive through PayPal.
4. Termination.
PayPal may terminate your use of Risk Controls for any reasons at PayPal's sole discretion.
It seems that with this tool I could circumvent the PP Payment Review but I am afraid that if I sign up that they will check my account first to qualify me.
