eBay Selling

One of the new feedback changes is expanded PayPal protection for eBay sellers. In September, every U.S. seller will get some expanded protection against chargebacks and some claims made by buyers. Getting chargebacks from buyers has been a risk as long as PayPal, and Billpoint before it, has been around. Though it’s relatively rare, buyers can come back months after a sale and try to have the charge taken off their credit card if they used it to pay through PayPal. This was often investigated by PayPal. The site would attempt to negotiate with the credit card company to stop the chargeback.

Unfortunately, those attempts usually failed. Credit card companies want to keep their clients far more than they want to protect honest sellers. So, the resulting chargebacks have caused serious problems for sellers over the years. Many have refused to use PayPal at all because of this risk. With the new protection, selling on eBay and using PayPal will get a lot less risky.
