How to pay Ebay buyer-refund invoices from limited paypal?

trilade · #1 08-10-2011

Hi Guys!

i would like to ask for your help in the following case:
My fathers got an Ebay account, where he sometimes sells some things.
I was stupid enough (before reading stealth) to list some items on his ebay account, but request the payments on my own paypal.
I had a buyer complain (due to Canada post strikes, etc...) and a buyer asked for a refund, and the Ebay paid it instead of me. (the paypal account got limited)
Now my father owe some money to ebay, but i cannot pay them since my paypal account is limited and i cant pay that ebay invoice. Also ebay threatening my father to pay that ebay invoice on my paypal or he will get banned.

any suggestions?

Thanks for your time reading me

if the info that you used was 'real' info, then its better to pay the invoice somehow.. If not ebay will refer it to collections and then it may become worse and you'll have to pay ebay fees plus the fees for the collection agency (happened to me)

Best thing to do is to make the payments.. getting banned is one thing but it may get escalated to collections, which may be a problem..

However, i'd suggest for you to wait around for comments of more experienced members

Just pay the fees with a gift card.

But you have more than likely killed your dads account by the sounds of it, unless he can prove you hijacked his account and even then due to family ties it may be lost.

No. i was selling my items on my Dads ebay, and received the payments to my paypal. And i cant pay ebay, because the paypal doesnt allow me to send any payments.There is balance on my limited paypal. We talking about like a 100$ no more

how to pay ebay then?

Better pay or it will go on your credit report (if they have your real info.) You should be able to transfer money to Ebay. They are joined together and are usually limited to withdraws, not paying Ebay balances owed.

Does your dad have a Paypal account linked together with his Ebay account and your PP account? If so, have your dad transfer the money.

It was mentioned in the post that you can use a gift card. Never tried it but I'm sure it will work =)

If you figure out something please let me know

If it goes to collections, they call it Global Collections. Once it is there, you will NOT be able to call. The collection dept. does not have contact info, so you almost have to use PP.

Basically if they have your real details, best to pay them off. They done it to me when I originally started out on eBay with real details.

In future, with stealth details you then have the option of what you want to do should they be unfair towards you...

trilade · #12 08-13-2011

Yes, but still dont know how to pay them off.
Only place i can see that money is my limited paypal.
And i cant do anything from there

What happens when you go to your seller account option on ebay does it not still offer the one time payment option?

Why was your paypal, that you have now linked to your dads account limited?

Hi mate.

There is a one time payment option but they didnt add that ammount to my father's ebay account balance.
They sent my father a message through ebay, that he needs to pay that ammount or hes selling allovance will be limited. The only place we would be able to pay that is my paypal account. There is an invoice that i cant pay because the account is limited. However hes paying ebay fees with hes card automatically.
My paypal got limited because my ebay got suspended so i couldnt send out the items, way too much cases. They refunded everybody automatically. Dont know why that transaction stuck. There is balance on that paypal. just cant pay off 3-4 transactions to ebay.

Pay the fees via a card.

Any transactions that have been refunded, cancel them and have the fees credit back to the account. If you can that is, I never read the whole thread, too messy. Stop using peoples details and try stealth.

GrannyT · #16 08-13-2011

Just press the one time payment option, get the amount and the account reference, go to the post office, get a postal order, write a little note, put it in an envelope, address it to the address in Worthing, put a stamp on the envelope, put it in the post box and then forget about it.

Spoon feeding is now finished for today - back to grumpy old tart!

Postal order is so old skool lol, I know eBay accept them but why not just go for paying fees by a card.

Yes i have. But they dont cant take it off from my PP account because its limited. still dont understand how the ebay will know if i make a one-time payment that i paid that invoice. They gonna think im paying my ebay fees. Coz that ammount doesnt show up in the "ebay account fee balance"

You can go through paypal help and send them a contact us message to refund so maybe if you contact them, then they will pay ebay from those funds.
If you check your emails from paypal about being limited it will have something about refunding buyers in there, and that is the form you may have to use, as that is the only one I have seen that allows money out.

You may just have to contact ebay and ask them to add it to fees, then you just make a one time payment with an unused card or gift card or explain to you how to pay it if they can't do that.

When they explain this system ebay say the debt will be added to ebay fees, so you may just have to ask if it will be added at the end of the month.

But I suspect you have messed up your dads account, and the next time he goes to list anything, that account will be closed.

Yeah i think so too :(

when you make a one time payment can't you change the amount? I'm sure you can.

If so make the payment through that with new card or gift card, with whatever fees you have left to pay and then just message to confirm that it is paid and make sure you get a reply to confirm.

Possibly the best option as then at least your dad can go back to the account in a month or so and claim he was away and someone was using his account without permission.
Probably not get the account back but may be worth a try.
