      from what i remember, you have the money right away. what i would do is once he sends it to you, start the withdrawl process and have it sent to your bank account.

      i've received payments by credit card and havent had a problem.

        It's safe, but you will have to pay more to accept credit cards. Besides, he could have a stolen card/account and you would ship to him only to find out later that it was stolen and you will have to repay the $. I'd stay away from this. Too many hassles and too large a risk. Have him pay in cashier's check or by money order (post office). Protect yourself. You DON'T know this guy or whose credit card it is....

          I never ship until the funds are transferred to my bank account. I keep the item until I can actually view the funds in my account on my bank's website. Anyone who pays via PayPal can cancel the payment and get their money back if the funds are still in your PayPal account. So if you ship before the funds are in your bank (which can take up to 2-3 days), he has all that time to get his money back and still get the item because it has already been shipped. It very rarely happens, but I take no chances.

                    paintball gun. Its worth a little more than im asking but not too much. He says he wants it by thanksgiving. I think im gonna ask him to do a western union money send thing if he wants it by then.

                      Umm...the paypal account can still go into negative balance if there's a chargeback and then you owe paypal the balance. If you don't pay it goes into collection.

                        Trust your "gut". You do NOT have to accept a credit card. It is up to him to find payment for you. Have him hook his paypal account to his credit card and pay you that way, if you are really interested in taking credit card payments. Still, I trust $$ WAY more when I don't know someone and they make demands like "i want it NOW" good luck

                          I gotta stop this online buying selling stuff. I had this same feeling when i bought this gun since wanted a western union money transfer and stuff. I just need to stop buying/selling stuff over a certain $$ i couldnt live with loseing.

                              paypal or western union?

                              paypal should be safe with credit cards since they are a secure site?? so if it is stolen paypal would pay it back not me right??
