Can somebody help me and explain in PM what the difference in buying and selling with personal paypal?

 

I don't understand, and fairly new to all this...

 

No PM neccesary - with personal payments, from a PayPal balance, you have no protection or recourse if something goes wrong through a non-eBay (or other merchant) account. Scammers like to ask for it so they can rip people off easier.

 

Some people send a payment to someone they know & trust via the personal method, but one should never ask that it be paid that way. As RMA points out, it is stealing from PayPal and is usually a good way to get burned in the end.

That's all well and good, but I want to hear it from them, get their personal reasons.

Please bear with me, I am pretty thick...

 

I have a paypal account, and someone has a comic I wish to purchase. I agree to the price and send ask that person for their paypal email. In my paypal, I use that email as the seller and funds are exchanged any way I choose in my paypal account.

 

Am I using a personal account for this transaction?

I forgive... MetalPSI for not knowing about PP personal payments.

 

:grin:

I haven't used PP personal payments, though I've seen it there. I'm assuming that buyer protections are lacking for such payments?

 

Yes

You're doing it right, just make sure to check that it's for goods/services if you don't intend for it to be personal. If you sending personal, you check the option for friends/family.

Yes this. But if friends/family button is pushed then you can not open a case with said person. That money is theirs and you'll have to pray they ship the book on good faith.
