Heeelp, i need a solution to pay my eBay fees.

Attirant · Jul 6th, 2008, 08:52 PM

am so confused and sad. i dont know what to do. i won few auctions and am sooooo in love with what I've won !!

here's the problem, i was already registered in PayPal but I had to close and re-open my account to change my address. usually it take two or three days to get my card statement, but this time my bank needs at least 2 weeks to send me the statements!!!!!!!

am so confused i dont how to pay them now, i cant pay them via mail orders or cashier's check. because i am from UAE.

any solutions ? suggestions ??

I don't understand why you had to close your account to change the address? I've changed my address multiple times and never had to close the account. You can even add multiple addresses to the same account.

Do you have online banking? If so, check that and it should show up on there very soon. Mine showed up within ten minutes the last time I added a card.

The only other thing I know to tell you is to try explaining the situation to the sellers that you bought from, maybe they would be willing to work with you or wait for you PayPal to go through.

i closed my account because when i asked paypal help center, they said that the only way to change my adrees is to close my account and re-open it!!!!
and now this process is taking long time, paypal didnt send the transaction to my visa card. and the bank said it might take time, and i should wait till they send my card statement via mail after june 17,,
its the banks and paypal problem, the service is so slow :(

Did you contact the sellers to ask for more time to pay? They might agree to give you more time.

mjlover1977 · Jul 7th, 2008, 03:12 AM

yeah - just explain the situ ... as long as you keep in touch and are honest im sure sellers will work with you.

jennifermason · Jul 7th, 2008, 04:36 AM

just make sure they communicate well.

Attirant · Jul 7th, 2008, 09:50 AM

Thank you all for replying.

I told the sellers, but one of them is away. and her assistant replied my email, and they will accept western union payment but they wont send me the stuff before 21/july...
but the problem is that the other two sellers are not answering my emails at all. they sent me the invoice. and I told them I might be late, but I never heard from them ever since!!

Another option is that you could offer to pay via Google Checkout. It's easy to sign up for an account and would provide more protection than Western Union.

Attirant · Jul 7th, 2008, 12:27 PM

Dear Melly, i think you've just saved my life!!!
i will try it now and i hope its going to work

Melly · Jul 7th, 2008, 01:23 PM

^ Yay, I'm glad I could help! Good luck!!

Google checkout would be the quickest method. Otherwise, eBay gives you 7 days to pay I think....

Like the others said, be open and honest - if the seller didn't reply they probably don't care.

As a seller, if someone tells me they need x time, I give them that time but if it takes a lot longer than that (let's say four weeks instead of two), then I figure they won't pay. I'm a patient person so hopefully your seller is too!

Attirant · Jul 8th, 2008, 09:57 AM

-Good news, one of the sellers is going to accept western union payment.
the other one will accept it as soon as she come back from her vacation.

-but the third seller, what can i say about herrr! i cant communicate with her, her way is really offensive & i dont know what to do. she is really ruuude
