Dear All,

Just wanna be safe and wonder if the above is possible. That's the reason why I'm only accepting PayPal. Let me know your thoughts.

Cheer,

possible, why?

...coz i received PM from user wanting to buy my product and i wasn't sure if it's genuine. I've got my website accepting PayPal but he/she didn't want to...sound fishy rite?

maybe he/she dont have paypal? in terms of what did u think he/she gonna to cheat u nyway

Why You Think The Buyer Wanted To Con You?

For Sure, You Will Make Sure Payment Received, Only You Send Out The Parcel...

How The Buyer Cheat You?

...that maybe true but PayPal is easy to use and signup. Furthermore most Malaysian is already using PayPal to shop online (correct me if I'm wrong on this). So what really bugs me is why not signup for PayPal?

well, i'm not quite agree with ur statement as i dont have pay pal acc myself.. btw, the buyer cant cheat u as u will receive money from the buyer, only then u post the item..

The chances are greater for the seller to cheat. At least the seller has a name and a address to refer, but not the buyer except a name an account number only.

okay...so is quite safe to sell and respond to PM...yes i totally agree with you it is easier for the SELLER to cheat as it is most of the case...

i'm wrong then about PayPal

The buyer can dispute the seller and chargeback to seller....

Not Really Many Malaysian Usig Paypal..

I Also Still Don't Know How To Use It..

Well actually I don't use PayPal cuz I don't have a credit card..
(sounds sad, eh? TT)

Why you all think no credit card = no paypal? Why dont you try to go Public bank apply a visa electron debit card? You just need to deposit RM25 and ask for the bank staff create a login account for you. The application is just as easy as creating an ATM account.

And also you can use a Public Bank cash deposit machine by enter into the "Credit Card Payment" method to deposit money into your debit card before you buy something as long as you don't consume over the RM25 limit.

My visa card was linked to my PayPal account and I can buy anything from eBay US and YesAsia. My PayPal account is US$0, but its okay. Because the money is auto transfer from my debit card to PayPal then re-transfer to the seller's PayPal account.

Come on, its nothing is impossible. Nowadays, everyone in Malaysia are possible to create PayPal account. Just only you not aware about it.

Can we do this with MayBank? (Maybank 2U)

maybank debit card is rubbish for now

I'm using the same method easy & fast no hassle. If seller con your money just report Paypal. I don't think Maybank can do online transaction yet as last time my friend ask their customer service, still not online usable.

yes, buyer can cheat seller also.
its called third party scamming.

received the payment first before send out your goods so should be okay

Dear All,

Btw, what is this third party scamming you're talking about? Anything we can trace it?

Thanks,
