Using Paypal?

So, I ordered a midi keyboard off a website, and I have more than enough money in my paypal account, and i'm fully verified and all that jazz, ready to go.. I ordered it like a week ago and the money still hasn't come out of my account, it seems like they need ME to send them the money through my paypal or something?? I figured when I put in my order it would automatically deduct it out of my paypal.. their info e-mail isn't bein overly helpful. Can anyone help me out here, it's my first time usin this shiz

This could be because the payment is pending and there is a chance the person will make up some bs and tell you to send it again and bam you'll be charged twice. Well i think your transaction is a legit one but im just giving you a heads up to be very careful thats all.
WERD!!!

i couldnt have said it better!

if buddy finally gets back to you and asks you for a "money order" ...check your bank first! - they may have already taking it out! if so would ignore it, its a skam, if the money hasnt been takin outta your account, ask him why he hasnt taking it outta pay pal......just be smart, and dont be scared to ask questions! - your the one incharge..not them!

i am a fellow ebayer myself, and have ALMOST been caught in that situation!

leave it idle for a few more days though... cuz some times it does take a while for the cash to be transfered!

hope this helps!

peace

when you order something through ebay, they don't automatically take the payment via paypal. you have to sign in to paypal yourself, and confirm the transaction before any money is sent or taken out of accounts or charged to credit cards.

if you have already signed into paypal and finished the transaction, don't forget it takes 6-8 business days for them to withdraw money from a canadian bank account.

i have the money in my paypal account , already taken out of my bank account ^^

it's an online site, it seems pretty big/popular and well designed (music 123 ) or somethin like that so i assumed it was ok.

so i have to go into my paypal account somewhere and approve the transaction? that seems right.. i'll try to find that.

i thought it was with ebay. sorry. it won't show up with other websites like it does with ebay.

what you need is that companys email address (so you can send the money to that). they can't just take it out of your account.

what's best, is to request an invoice from the company. they can do that on their end from paypal, and you can complete that once you get it. that way they also know the order number and all that info that goes with paying for it.

yeah i'm dumb i realized i just had to send it to their e-mail which i did yesterday. i just hope it doesn't get all screwed up. i really don't like that way of doing it.. confirming the order, then just randomly sendin their email money. seems a bit whack. i dno i put my order number in the little note thing .. and they have my email/paypal thing written down on the order so hopefully it goes smoothly.

it should go fine, but that's the whole reason you request an invoice. they go through paypal, invoice you and then it's not just you sending money to an email address.

I don't put money in my PayPal account. It automatically charges to my Credit Card thru PayPal.

^ you can put it in there if you want, but i think it most often comes from other people sending you money. if someone sends you money, it doesn't automatically get put into your bank, or credited to your credit card, so it sits in your paypal account.
