Hi, I'm new here and very happy that I have found this interesting forum. I have seen a couple of domains for sale that I'm interested in. I'm from Europe and have a paypal account (it's verified). But paypal doesn't offer to add funds from a bank account to my paypal account in my country. So I can only pay with funds coming from a credit card. Is this a problem when bidding/paying here for a domain in the buy/sell section?
Before it gets moved to the correct section, I shall endeavour to answer: YES. Credit cards are not a safe method of payment because the buyer can easily chargeback leaving the seller out of pocket. Come to mention it PayPal funds aren't that safe either for the same reason!
Oops sorry to post this in the wrong section. Any other ways then to transfer funds to a paypal account?
I know 3 ways - adding funds via bank ( not allowed @ your place ) | paying by CC ( I dont see any probs with it if you are dealing with someone who has good number of itraders ) | earn it !!
Thanks for the replies. I don't have a problem with paying by CC but some sellers do unfortunately. Find it very weird that paypal doesn't offer the feature to Europeans to add funds from a bank account to paypal. It's no problem to do the opposite (moving funds from paypal to bank account).
Just make sure that you do not do automated delivery but go through every single incoming payment to ensure that all the details are right. If you need to contact them for clarification, do so. Also never accept anything which seems suspicious or any payment from unverified paypal accounts. There is really no reason for anyone not to verify their account because all it takes is to add a bank-issued credit card or a bank account and do the simple Expander Use Program and be done with it. If anything which does not seems right, do not be afraid to refund their payment.
