Hello everyone,<p>

Since more than two years I buy & sell on eBay and most of what I know, I learned it here!<p><p>

I recently created a new user ID to sell different items. Things are going very well but I have a question...<p>

I do not accept PayPal payments and it is clearly stated in my auctions & emails. I received an email saying "xxx has just sent you a payment for an auction item with PayPal." Is there a way to get that money without having to open an account?<p><p>

Thanks in advance for your help & suggestions!<p>

P.S.: Sorry for my poor english... I am french.

Issa

The only thing you can do is tell your buyer that you do not accept payment with paypal. Give them an address to send a check or money order by postal mail.

When you say French do you mean you live in France or you recently moved to the USA and don't speak English very well or are you french canadian ?


La seule chose que vous pouvez faire est de dire à votre acheteur que vous n'acceptez pas le paiement avec paypal. Donnez-leur une adresse pour envoyer un chèque ou un mandat par courrier postal. Quand dites-vous que les Français vous vous veulent dire de phase en France ou vous vous êtes récemment déplacés aux Etats-Unis et ne parlez pas anglais très bien ou êtes vous Canadien français?

Hello!

Thanks for your advice! I revised the situation and I guess I will have to open a PayPal account to get that money...

PS: In response to your question, I am from France.

Thanks again!

Best Regards, Issa

No - you do NOT have to open a Paypal account!

Tell the winning bidder that the payment will never be accepted. Tell them that they should cancel the transaction in their Paypal account. (This is an easy thing to do.)

You should get the money you are owed by the method(s) specified in your auction.

I agree. You stated you don't take PayPal so don't. The bidder should have read more carefully.
