as some of you may have seen my previous post on how to send money as a gift thru paypal, so they dont take any of it as fees, well i just found another bullshit way for them to make tons of loot, mr 305 and i did a transaction this week for a caliper and bracket i had, then after he transferred $$ to me, we figured out it wasnt gonna work, so when i went to refund him his money, there was a "refund" button at the bottom of the page, that is where the deception and money scheme they use takes place, instead of them instantly transferring his funds on the 16th when i did it, he wont receive his $$ until the 22nd, thats pure bullshit, the money was in my bank acct., so this seems to be a way for them to collect interest on that money, now that doesnt hardly seem worth it, but add up the millions of dollars that potentially go thru that system daily or weekly, then add up the interest they collect on all that for them 3 or 4 days?????
so bottom line seems to be dont use the refund button, just resend the seller the $$ back as a gift with no fees, so they get it instantly, like when they sent it to you, and you dont look like a deadbeat ahole, tryin to scam someone when their funds dont refund instantly
now i feel a little better since i got to vent my frustrations and passed along a little more info on how to beat the "system"

Yes it does suck bro,I heard about this along time ago and always just resend the money.Also if you are not 100% sure the seller is a good egg never gift the money to them as paypal will not fight anything that has been gifted since they believe it was a gift.So be sure who you deal with when you gift money.Cause in reality they can take it and run and you have no way to do anything.Not saying it about 305 either just saying it about a general transaction.
 
ive always hated paypal's bull sh*t fees...you never notice them when your buying....but when your sellin stuff, they hit you kinda hard when selling couple hundred dollars worth of stuff
 
Thats complete bullshit. Its online. That money that you "send" through the internet should be in the other persons account instantly.
 
yeah you should complain to the paypal management......... lol......... so to be sure when i sent the money for the airfilter i sent it the right way correct?!?
 
thats paypal for you i once has some money sent to a friends accout i told him to get it put in his bank well he couldnt figure it out very easy but we finally got it done after i lost about 10 bux in bs fees
 
if i buy online say ebay, i sent regularly. if i buy from forum guys i usually gift it. most guys i deal with i can trust enough to do that.....and when i sell i tell them to gift it, cuz i know im not going to screw them over....and i havent yet.....nor do i plan to.

if i ever have to refund, which i dont believe ive had to....i resend, screw teh "refund button" thats just an easy button..it makes it easier, and they charge you..thats all...
