whats all this echeque about? just bought a gasket set of ebay paid for it now it says its cleared by the 18th?
my account is verified and all that so what up with it

anyone else had this?

 

its the worst payment ever invented for us sellers as it normally takes 10 working days to clear,I hate that ruddy form of payment

 

yea was hoping to have the gasket set by the weekend and its sent an echeque going phone paypal in a bit see whats going on

pain in the arse

 

One of your payment cards/accounts will be expired. Add another one or update your details!

 

just have the other week its all good verified and all that

 

I'm telling ya if you cannot pay normally using paypal and something isn't setup or something has expires it will automatically issue an 'E-Cheque'

Usually if you've got a switch/visa debit card as a primary payment it will go sweet as normal. If the primary payment is expired (Even if it's verified) it will skip this payment source and look for another one. If you've only got one it will look for funds in your paypal account. If the balance is 0.00GBP it will issue an 'E-Cheque' as in theory you have no means of completing an 'Instant payment'

 

spot on advice that

 

sometimes it issues e-cheques for NO reason.

I used to use ebay a lot and it would happen occasionally that i would pay for like 10 things at once and they would all end up being echeques really pissing me and the seller off.

paypal will not change it and the only reason they usually give is "security reasons" to "protect you from fraud". yet in reality it offers you no security whatsoever and is just a delay so they can make more money off the interest. Banks will laugh at you if you mention e-cheques as its made up by paypal.

The reality is that part of the paypal/ebay system has set criteria to send e-cheques wether you like it or not and there is nothing you can do about it. just type in e-cheque into google to see the frustrations

 

all sorted phoned paypal they said they didnt know what happened had to get the seller to cancel the payment and i just sent again job done
