eBay & Paypal - Rant
Turbo Mini Forums

As some of you know I've decided to sell up and foolishly listed all of my Mini related items on eBay.

Well over the last few hours I seem to have exceeded the amount of sales that a private individual is allowed and therefore I must register as a business, unfortunately this is something I can't seem to resolve on-line and paypal has told me to contact them by phone which would be great if it wasn't for the fact that the number I need to call is only open between office hours, in the mean time my paypal account has been blocked and I've got dozens of sellers emailing me as they can't pay for the items they've won.

I really could do without out this.

Yep ive had the same thing! If get your account verified you can have a higher limit. Takes a few days though.

I remember having to get verified as I kept spending too much, was a right pain having to link it with the bank and now every time I want to pay for something I have to change the option from bank funding to credit card!!

I'll bear this in mind if i win some of my bids then

Rob most people have online banking these days. For that kind of money it might be worth suggesting? Think of the paypal fees you'd save yourself too!

The insult to injury is that eBay insists that you accept paypal as a method of payment.

I can understand the frustration - eBay is crap for private sellers.

They charge way over the odds on FVFs anyway and then try to screw you even further through Paypal (which they own).

With the benefit of hindsight, maybe you should have posted them up on TM first ???

The bid I made on the Quaife ATB was only £30 less than it sold for which would have been better for you than what you got after FVFs and listing costs.

And the header tank (which I "won"), I won't hassle you over not being able to pay until you sort it out with PayPal.

Rod.

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

I'm one of your winners so far Rob. I'm willing to wait no prob until you get everything sorted. Not to mention I've still got several I'm watching, and you told me it was fine to wait anyway...

I got the f/g rear valance, drop me a PM with how/when you want to pay when you get that far.

EDIT: Also watching a few more things, so happy to sort it all in one go if I get anything else.

If paypal are being bastards about it cant you take bank payments from the TM members and go back to ebay saying that the sale's fell through due to them being twats and you will relist the items later later!

That could be possible, cancel the transactions with TM members, mutually agree to close it or something I think its called and you both lose nothing and you don't pay final listing fees etc

that sounds good to me i just emailed you on ebay

I won one of your auctions and I paid which I have an enailed receipt for it so I asumed it went through.
Im not in any rush at all so whenever its sorted is fine with me.

Paul

I seriously doubt it!

Me too - keep us posted Rob

I got the coliovers and the harnesses. Im happy to sort it outside of paypal and outside of ebay if need be.

Btw who won the coliover brackets?

In boost we trust

Some chap in Sweden bough the brackets, I can't believe how much the went for.

Now really bored waiting for paypal's phone lines to open, could have done with being at work an hour ago.

your new fuel reg looks like it could go for more than the avonbar site lol....ebay is stupid sometimes!

I hope not, I've just been trying to convince eBay that I'm not a business and I'm not making profit.

I can't believe that the reconditioned carb sold for less than the one that needs a rebuild.
