Accepting payments as a service.
 

Hello. I realized I can sell my items faster using a classified ad on eBay so I have been doing that. I then send the person a money request and put it as a service. Does my account seem safe and is it good to keep it as a premier account? And about how much money do you think I would be able to run through it per week?

:grin:
great smiley

I also use a service because there is no protection for the buyer or seller.

meaning they can easily file a chargeback after they receive the item and you'd be screwed..... but i guess thats a chance you'd have to take with paypal

Well the item I sell is digital so all I have to do is email them. I guess they can file a chargeback but as far as PayPal is concerned there apparently is no protection for either of us since it is hard to prove a service has been done. This is way different when you ship goods. Since I really dont sell directly off eBay all I need is a PayPal account and I didnt want them knowing I was selling anything. What can be done to make this safer for me? Should I not put it as a service?

paypal will still limit your account if it needs.

^^^^ agree with ebaypaypal. No account is 'safe'. If you need to use paypal, then you make sure that there is no reason for a limitation.Sadly as yet, no magic solution. What I do with my account may trigger a limitation: what you do
may not. Luck & paypal are not good friends.

once they feel uncomfortable,they will limit you without a clear reason.

Im your earning a decent ammount it is only a matter of time before you will be limited or asked to upgrade to a business account.
