i need help fellas , paypal account help!!!

[Kracker Jack]

I have a paypal account that I purchase stuff with. How do I recieve payments? What info do I need to give my buyer? Etc.

i think, just your email. i also have paypal mail me a check, takes a few days, but i'd rather do that than putting it as credit on a credit card. mj used to do a lot on paypal, he'll probably respond in alittle while.

just find something else to buy, I never get money in my paypal account, just pay it out all the time

[smokeonthewater]

yep all you need to give them is your email address that you use with paypal and IMPORTANT instruct them to send payment as "personal" and "payment owed" That way paypal won't charge you any fees.

Also link your paypal to a savings or checking account and then tou can transfer funds to your account free of charge... it also takes a few days.

Yep...Smoke beat me to it. That's exactly what you need to do. If your paypal account is "verified", meaning that you have given them a bank account to debit and credit funds from, then you can put any funds sent to you back into that same account. Easy as pie. And to see your paypal account just go to paypal.com and log in under your account. Any funds debited or credited to your account will show there.

so do i invoice my buyer with his email thru my paypal account? on the invoice section of paypal it seems like you just send that invoice to the buyer.:sleep:

I have sent and got tons from paypal, when you joined paypal they should have asked you all your questions about bank accounts and things. Then you just give the email address that you used for it to the buyer, they go to there paypal enter your email and boom the money is in your account in a few mib. Then all you so is hit with draw and it will send it to whatever account you have linked to the account. Have them send the payment to you as a gift so there is no charge. You can also just leave the money there and when you buy stuff it will just be there, I have it linked to my account so when I buy something it just takes it out of my bank instant like a debit card.
To send a invoice just hit the request button then the invoice button fill in the blanks and send to the buyer, they will get it and send you there money. Like stated when you withdraw money to go into your account it can take up to 5 days to show up, but its a great way of doing things, and once you get use to it you will think what did you do before with out it!!

[smokeonthewater]

Not sure BUT I think that if you invoice them it may make it a business transaction and charge you a fee


If this is all too much for you let me know and I'll pm you my paypal address... you can then just have them send me the money and I'll tell you who to send fish too

side benefit is my V will get built up at the same speed as you carve fish!

Im with Smoke, I think Invoices will be charged fees and personel will not.

On a side note, I added a credit card to my account. According to the Paypal rep I wont have to wait anymore for funds to clear but I havent tried it yet.......
