Hello there. Thank you for sending the eCheque payment. These take a little while to clear, so I will just wait for that to go through so I can pay for collection/delivery through PayPal. Hopefully it should clear within the week and you can have it on your doorstep for Monday/Tuesday next week. I will keep you posted

Thank you for buying it.

Hello there. It takes about a week for the eCheqeto clear. This happens because you did not send a normal PayPal payment (using debit card), but rather an eCheque. Like normal cheques, these take time before the money gets in to my account. If you want a refund, then you will need to wait for the eCheque to clear before I can refund you the money. I paid somebody using eCheque once and I would not do it again as it takes far too long for the payment to process. You can find more information about eCheques on the PayPal website. Sure, I could send out the item next-day, but the eCheque might bounce, and I want to do it this way for my financial security.

Sorry but you did use eCheque as you can see from this picture: http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a324/ ... hot014.jpg

It clearly shows payment type as being eCheque and it has not cleared yet. As you can see, PayPal are asking me to wait until the payment clears before I send the item, otherwise the cheque could theoretically be cancelled and I could lose money like that.

Feel free to express your opinions.

So you're selling your PS3?

azcn2503 · Tue Feb 05, 2008 8:34 pm

It's a sale for a friend, I am just managing the sale for them

Skillers · Tue Feb 05, 2008 8:38 pm

Ah, OK, thought it seemed a bit odd.

Wynney · Sun Feb 10, 2008 11:25 am

rofl @ paypal n00b

its prob because his debit card has expired according to paypal, this means it will use echeque instead of instant payment. this is the only reason i have ever come across for paypal using echeque, dunno if tht helps u in anyway aaron, bt ur def correct

Skillers · Sun Feb 10, 2008 1:39 pm

Ah, didn't know paypal changed your method of payment if it couldn't do it normally. THen again, I don't use paypal xP

Wynney · Sun Feb 10, 2008 2:05 pm

it does, it happened to me over xmas, cos i was using my old debit card instead of my new one on paypal (same account, but different expiry dates). this meant tht when it expired paypal switched to echeque

Skillers · Sun Feb 10, 2008 2:26 pm

Yeah, I've had a couple of problems with expired debit cards, but not in the paypal sense.

What's the situation with this, Aaron?

azcn2503 · Mon Feb 11, 2008 4:54 pm

The eCheque is expected to clear tomorrow some time, so I will arrange for collection/delivery then

Yes Wynney you're right about the reasoning behind the alternative payment method. I had to use eCheque at one point because the item I bought was too much to come straight off my card and the bank would not authorise it that way, apparently eCheque was a more secure method. I gave up in the end and just did direct bank account transfer to the seller. This was when I bought my monitor (£825).

Wynney · Mon Feb 11, 2008 5:28 pm

i wish i had £825 to spend on computer stuff, or anything for tht matter

hard earned money i expect tho eh? :mrgreen:

Skillers · Mon Feb 11, 2008 7:10 pm

He only has so much money cos he's got a fairly decent job but still lives with his parents = lots of cash to burn! xP

Plus, he doesn't seem to know the meanings of the words "savings" and "value".

Wynney · Mon Feb 11, 2008 7:32 pm

i thought he moved into his own house :S

and saving money is boring, spend spend spend!!! (especially with interest rates being lowered) my god i love doing economics

and i bet aaron works hard for his money, i cant imagine doing a 9-5 job jst yet...

Skillers · Mon Feb 11, 2008 8:21 pm

He did, but moved back after he was spending too much money just living. Or something like that.

azcn2503 · Tue Feb 12, 2008 8:08 am

Yeah, I found it difficult to pay for 2 people as well as keep up my computer related spending habits, as I was the only one with an income at the time.

Skillers · Tue Feb 12, 2008 4:40 pm

Oh yeah, i forgot you were paying for two aswell.

Wynney · Tue Feb 12, 2008 6:38 pm

ah, tht makes sense.

ask for a promotion at work

Skillers · Tue Feb 12, 2008 7:44 pm

Heh, worth a shot.

Also, did the buyer realise it was his mistake?

Wynney · Tue Feb 12, 2008 8:34 pm

sounds like an ebay n00b to me, so prob not.

also, i think i deserve vacation AND pay rise. :mrgreen:

Skillers · Tue Feb 12, 2008 9:30 pm

You don't have a job, do you?

Wynney · Wed Feb 13, 2008 5:28 pm

Skillers · Wed Feb 13, 2008 6:23 pm

Wynney · Wed Feb 13, 2008 6:28 pm
