A couple of weeks ago I ran a For Sale thread in the G/S/B section. Had about 6 or 7 buyers. After payments started coming in, I noticed they were getting denied by PP. Sunday night only 1 was denied, but when I got up Monday morning, 2 or 3 more had been denied (all by different buyers). I have been using PP for well over a decade and never had a payment be denied. Now, all of a sudden, I had 3 or 4 in 24 hours. The funny thing is, some of the other buyers paid via PP without a problem. I called PP and asked her what was going on and she told me that somehow the payments had set off some kind of trigger and PP was unable to process them. When I asked what that trigger was (so it wouldn't happen again), she told me that not only could she not tell me that, but nobody there could tell me that. A couple of the buyers called also and got the same nonanswers that I got. Another weird thing is that a couple of buyers had their original payment denied, but their payments went thru ok when resubmitted a few days later.
Has this ever happened to anyone here? I'm kind of leery about ever having another sales thread - too many hassles (for me and the buyers)
