Apr. 19th, 2006 08:12 amLast night I was feeling all confident about this Ebay/Paypal stuff. This morning I'm all in a tizzy.
I've been reviewing the payment options on the item that I want and
confirmed address - as far as I can tell - I don't have? Because my credit card address is in Canada but My ship to address is DH's office in the States. Or maybe I do...I've had items purchased with Paypal shipped there in the past.
Of course, the search funtion is down on Paypal at the moment and I'm banging my head against the wall here!
I do NOT want to give Paypal my bank account information because I've heard horror stories about paypal locking/docking your account without notifying you etc in cases of dispute... This would mean that if I did want to get verified I'd need to set up a separate account specifically for the purpose of ebay/paypal.
I can also pay by WesternUnion Bidpay - but I can't seem to find out what that is. And I can't figure out what there fees are for a transaction
Worst case scenario I can pay by Money Order - I'll go down to the post office, get a money order and mail it to her. Then wait all that travel time for it to get there before she can send my item to me.
I know that the seller has to protect themselves but it feels like I'm the one taking all the risks.
Now I remember why I don't do this!
It almost seems like it would be a good idea to get a credit card that billed to DH's office address you know? but I can't see how we could make that work given that all our banking is here.
