paypal

[m3sye]

When someone pays me in paypal and it shows in my account - can they then recall the payment? I am worried about been scammed

Yes, they can do a charge back on the card IIRC. Best way is to clear the account out every day/week if the amounts are large.

So if I got the amount in, then transferred it straight away into an account that would be fine??

That doesn't mean your money is safe though. They can still do a charge back if your paypal balance is £0, it just comes directly out of the bank account you set your paypal account up with.

hhhm, what other ways could I take payment from a foreign country then that cant do this stupid charge back?
I am selling him some data so once I send the file I am worried he would do a charge back

I have been told you can only call back payments for goods not services! Anyone know anything about this?

Note sure, ours is a registered business account, we've not lost a penny since 2002.(that's done it now!)

its not just chargebacks that you have to worry about, i was paid with a stolen card once for 500, money shown up fine, transferred to my account, 3 days later had an email from paypal saying they were taking the money back as it was a stolen card. Nothing i could do, paypal diem't give a toss.
