Which way out?

First, sign up for a PayPal account on PayPal. Some people have tried to argue that IP is a problem. But I emphatically tell them it is not at all. If an American who lives in your country can use PayPal, why can not I who lives in the country use it with my IP? PayPal knows it is my country's IP, but sometimes they limit your account for you to verify that you are the real owner of the account.

In opening your PayPal account, do not take a personal account. Do not change your IP and choose a premier for it will give you a lot of benefits.

Also you must not use your country address if your country is PayPal prohibited. You look for a virtual address from Asian countries, Middle East or Europe. But do not ever sign up for PayPal with a US or UK address. If you do, what happens is that PayPal will request you to supply your bank account. So it's easy to predict the outcome of what will happen when you do not have US or UK bank account. So do not use US or UK address. OK!

Now, once you sign up, an e-mail will be sent to your e-mail address used to confirm if you are the owner of the e-mail address used. And after that, you return to PayPal and fill in your necessary secret details. The next thing you will be asked is your own checking account or credit card.

If you are signing up for the first time, you will see a place where you will be asked your checking account or credit card, do not fill it. If you do, they will immediately limit your account.

When you are closing your virtual address, do not use countries which PayPal allows opening an account who is not allowed to receive money. Make you check details of all the countries in PayPal records, make sure you chose a country that allowed receive money.

How to verify a PayPal

After signing up, to verify PayPal takes about five minutes if you have all the facilities in place.

The first thing you will do is get a PayPal virtual card. It costs only $ 8. The card is gotten at virtual-cc.com.

Once you log on to verify PayPal what you will see is: Add Debit or Credit card. And both cards are everywhere. But the thing is that there are certain cards you can use, where the card is more interesting is that you did not need a credit card to buy it. All you need is a liberty reserve to buy it. So log onto libertyreseive.com and open an account. Fund your account with $ 10. Once this is done, log on to virtual-cc and choose virtual card for PayPal verification you pay with your liberty reserve and be charged $ 8. Virtual-cc will now send you your card detail which you will case to login to your PayPal for verification. When you log into your PayPal account, indicate that it is a visa card, add the card number, the expiration date and month. They the CSY or CVV security number. Once you have done all that, click and summit. PayPal will instantly charge the card with $ 1.95.

They do this to confirm that you are the owner of the card and that you are a human being because if you own the card there must be a code you get from it, so all you need to do is return to the card vendor and since it is coming from their provider that they have to generate the code. Id you check the spending history of the card it will indicate that PayPal gas charged it $ 1.95. You will then see PayPal's 4-digit code which is supplied back to you, copy the code into your PayPal account and click on summit. Your PayPal will be verified at once.

Things to Avoid

1. Do not delay in issuing a refund when a customer insists on it. A customer's report to PayPal about your refusal to refund will bring an immediate limit placement in your account.
2. Do not add your PayPal account to network marketing or multi-level marketing (MLM) site. It is against their terms of services if you do this, the next thing you will see is: "your account is limited".
3. Do not concentrate all your money in one PayPal account, if you have more than one. If you have one PayPal account, you can have too much, attached to that one PayPal as e-mail that are verified.

I advise you to have more than one, so that while you harvest your money with one, you send it into another one as a reserved account in case they limit it. The reason is that one they limit your account, your money is also going to be tied down.

PayPal poker is the largest e-wallet site on the internet so it is no wonder that also poker sites try to get PayPal as a payment method on their sites.

Unfortunately PayPal decided to accept only a limited number of poker rooms for this purpose and there is not a US poker site that offers PayPal transactions.

Almost everyone has nowdays a PayPal account (221,566,808 at this moment to be exact) so if you are just starting out with playing poker PayPal may be your best option. it is simple, it is secure, it is fast and hassle-free.

In order to deposit with PayPal you have to know the poker rooms that accept this payment method and you should have decided how much to deposit. You should know that every poker room has a first deposit bonus. This kind of bonus is the largest bonus you will ever get on that poker room so it may be a wise decision to deposit a larger amount at start, if you want to stay with that poker site.

For example you have a 100% up to $ 500 first deposit bonus and a 50% reload bonus.

1) If you decide to deposit only $ 10 at first and $ 50 after that you will have $ 10 first deposit bonus and $ 25 reload bonus (approximately the already deposited money) = $ 35 in bonuses

2) If you decide to deposit $ 50 at first and $ 10 after that you will have $ 50 first deposit bonus and $ 10 reload bonus (approximately the already deposited money) = $ 60 in bonuses.

Many online sellers who use PayPal, mistakenly assume they also have to use Quicken or Quickbooks for their bookkeeping. While PayPal has done a very nice job of integrating these two popular products into the transaction reporting of their site, I am not sure this is always the best option for every online seller. I am going to point out two other bookkeeping options that may be better suited to your business.

First you need a quick history lesson. Before almost everything about bookkeeping became computerized, it was a manual process. Businesses kept what were known as sub-ledgers. A sub-ledger may record all of your sales transactions for a month. At the end of the month, you would total your sub-ledger and transfer that total as one line into your general ledger. Both of the tips I show you today will essentially go back to creating a sub-ledger, although we will be using the computer. I will also tell you how going "old school" and having a sub-ledger may give you a powerful marketing tool.

Option 1. PayPal has a wonderful reports section. When you are on the My Account tab in PayPal, hover over the tab for History. You should see a drop down menu and towards the bottom of that menu is the link for Reports. Click on the Reports link and you will go to a screen that summarizes your PayPal account transactions. In the middle of that page is a link for Monthly sales report. After clicking this link, you will select the month to view, typically the prior month and select View Report. What you should see now is a very nice clean summary by day of your monthly sales for the previous month. You can even download this report in a pdf, comma delimited or spreadsheet format. I suggest you pick whatever format you are most comfortable working with. Name the file something like "July-2009-PayPal-Sales". You will notice at the bottom of the report are totals. If you are using a bookkeeping program, such as Outright, open your bookkeeping program and record the total of the amount received column under the income tab. Then under the expense tab, record the total of the payment fees column. You may want to create a separate category for PayPal fees to keep track of the cost to your business for using the service. If you have any refunds on your report, you need to enter these amounts the same way except enter them as a negative number by placing a minus sign in front of the number. (tip: the minus sign works in Outright, but if you use a different bookkeeping software check to make sure it will accept negative values)

Option 2 . Option 2 works very much the same as option 1. It actually requires an extra step, but I will tell you why I think that step is worth the minimal effort. Return to your My Accounts tab in PayPal and hover over the History tab again. Above the Reports link is a Download History link. Select this link and you will see options to download your transaction history. From this page you can download your PayPal transaction history for any time period you select, keep it simple and download all of the prior month. If you download to a comma delimited file, you can open this in any spreadsheet program like Excel, Google Docs or Open Office. You will have the same columns in your spreadsheet that you had in your monthly sales report. You use the same process as in Option 1 to enter your income and expense.

(tip: select the last day of the month you are reporting as the transaction date for your entry in Outright)

Here is the one additional step, you will have to enter formulas to total your columns, and calculate the amount to put into your bookkeeping records .

As promised, here's the payoff. You now have a very powerful database of all of your PayPal sales transactions for an entire month. There is even an option to download All Activity, which will give you customer names, email addresses, shipping information, what they purchased and the date and time of the purchase. Using the database functions in most spreadsheet programs, you can sort this information any number of ways. You can even graph how many widgets were sold between 2 and 3 am on Saturdays. That is pretty powerful marketing information to have.

If you are a producer or beat maker, you may or may not have deal with a PayPal chargeback while selling your beats online. With the hundreds of websites that allow you to upload beats for sale, you may inevitably run into a situation where you have to deal with a PayPal chargeback. As owner and producer of Almost Free Beats, LLC, I pride myself in having good business practices and doing everything in my power to ensure that customers are satisfied when they buy beats. However, in December 2010, I did encounter a PayPal chargeback. Here is my detailed account of how I handled the situation.

In December 2010, an artist was referred to my music production company by a good friend of mine. The artist was interested in some beats for sale on my soundclick page. Seeing that this customer was a referral, I was excited about the opportunity to sell beats. References are usually the best type of customers to have.

After contacting me via email and letting me know exactly what soundclick beats he was interested in, the artist paid via credit card and I sent the beats to him. I also sent a non-exclusive beat licensing agreement as well as an invoice showing he paid for his instrumentals. The total sale was for $ 99.99. After a couple days, he was contacted via text message to confirm that he had received the beats. He stated that he did and he loved them. I was glad to have another satisfied customer, but unfortunately, things spiraled downhill shortly afterward.

About one month later, I woke up to an email from PayPal stating the customer had issued a chargeback. I was disgusted to say the least! The $ 99.99 had been put into holding and also put my PayPal account in the negative! I was just really starting to make some heading selling my beats online. I had only sold my first beat in October of 2010 so for me it was kind of a punch in the face.

Understanding the situation and how the PayPal dispute process works, I began to gather all the necessary evidence to prove my case. Because of the way the credit system works in America, the credit card company absolutely, has the final say so as to whether or not you get your money back. PayPal only acts as a middle man submitting evidence.

I submitted the following to PayPal's resolution center:

All email contact with the customer

Phone records of the text message contact with the client

All email contact after the chargeback was issued

Copies of the non-exclusive beat licensing agreement, instrumental terms, and a copy of the invoice

Note: this may seem like I went above and beyond but it is completely necessary!

In order to win a dispute as a seller you have to prove that the goods / services sold were received by the customer!

In my situation, I needed to show PayPal and the Credit Card company that the artist received his beats in satisfactory condition.

After submitting all of my evidence I had to wait until late April 2011 before a ruling was made on the dispute. Thankfully, I won the dispute and was reimbursed my monies. However, I would never wish something like this on any producer or beat maker selling beats online.

Here are some of the lessons I learned from this situation:

1. Keep a Good Paper Trail
As a producer or beat maker, make sure you have your business and paperwork together! It can potentially save you a lot of heartache! If you need legal advice on contracts, agreements, etc. seek an entertainment lawyer to cover your butt!

2. Communicate With Your Customer & PayPal
I was in constant communication with PayPal during the dispute process. I followed up with them often concern my case and also continued to try to communicate with the artist even though he somehow "disappeared" and did not communicate with me anymore. I made sure to forward these "dead" email conversations to PayPal as evidence for my case.

3. Be Patient in Charge Disputes
PayPal disputes seem to take forever, but you have to be patient. Keep moving forward with your music production business. Do not let one bad apple spoil the other great customers out there.

Funny enough the same customer attempted to contact me via another alias to get beats! This time he was trying to buy beats through Moneygram under a different name and email. I soon after reported him to PayPal's fraud department! Haha!

I laugh at the situation now, but it was definitely a great learning experience. Hopefully, you do not have to deal with a dispute like mine, but if so learn from my experience so things can go as smoothly as possible for you.

Big news in the world of e-commerce. eBay announced that it will separate eBay and PayPal into two independent, publicly-trade companies next year.

Investor Carl Icahn had famously called for such a spin-off, and it looks like he is now getting his wish. He's reportedly the company's six-largest shareholder.

The decision came after the Board of Directors reviewed the company's growth strategies and structure. They concluded that creating two separate businesses best positions them to "capitalize on their respective growth opportunities in the rapidly changing global commerce and payments landscape."

Indeed, both eBay and PayPal face greatly increased competition from numerous big players including Google, Apple, Amazon, Alibaba, and Square, to name a few. Then there are companies like Stripe, which already has deals in place with Facebook and Twitter.

"eBay and PayPal are two great businesses with leading global positions in commerce and payments," said President and CEO John Donahoe. "For more than a decade eBay and PayPal have mutually benefited from being part of one company, creating a substantial shareholder value. and competitively. The industry landscape is changing, and each business faces different competitive opportunities and challenges. "

"eBay and PayPal will be sharper and stronger, and more focused and competitive as leading, standalone companies in their respective markets," Donahoe added. "As independent companies, eBay and PayPal will enjoy added flexibility to pursue new market and partnership opportunities. that putting eBay and PayPal on independent pathways in 2015 is best for each business and will create additional value for our shareholders. "

In its announcement, eBay listed the following as three conclusions the Board came to upon completion its review:

1. A changing competitive landscape creates impressive opportunities for eBay and PayPal; separation will create sharper strategic focus and better position each business to capitalize on those growth opportunities as independent companies. The pace of industry change and innovation in commerce and payments requires maximum flexibility to stay competitive and drive global leadership.

2. The benefits of the existing relationships between eBay and PayPal will naturally decline over time and can be optimized in arm's length operating agreements between the two entities. Arm's length operating agreements can formalize the existing relationships between the two companies and capture ongoing synergies.

3. This is the best path for delivering sustainable shareholder value. eBay is a leading global commerce platform that has benefited from PayPal, and PayPal is a strong, rapidly growing global payments leader because it has been part of eBay. But beyond 2015, eBay and PayPal will each benefit more and create greater value from the strategic focus, speed, flexibility and agility that come with being independent publicly traded companies.

HERE ARE THE QUESTION THAT ARISES:

What does the split mean for business owners and moguls on eBay?

Will this strategic approach in separating a commonly known brand change the market segmentation and classification on e-commerce platform?

Is this another CAMOUFLAGE sale of established brand in the making as it's commonly business idea with eBay?

Would customer's loyalty be an issue?

What role does Smartphone payment platform such as Apple Payed in shaping e-commerce?

Online shopping has never been so popular. These days, more and more people are using online marketplaces such as eBay to shop for their needs. Buying online is not only convenient, but it empowers buyers. They can use comparison engines such as Froogle and PriceGrabber to get the best prices and save money in the process. And best of all, you do not have to physically present in a store to be able to buy things.

PayPal has been around for such a long time, and it makes it so easy to pay for things online. Anyone who has used eBay in the past few years has probably used PayPal to pay for items on eBay. PayPal is so popular that more online stores are adding PayPal as a payment option. After all, not only it's convenient, but also it's a very secure option for both sellers and buyers. Or is it?

PayPal promises a lot to both sellers and buyers. Most people use PayPal as they find it to be secure and easy-to-use. However, hackers have managed to access numerous PayPal accounts in the past, and that problem is only getting worse. Hackers access people's accounts by sending them fraudulent e-mails to gain access to their account information. Unfortunately, there is so much PayPal can do to avoid this issue. So it is essential for the consumers to go to PayPal by clicking on any email link.

PayPal offers protection to both buyers and sellers against fraudulent activity. PayPal's seller protection program protects sellers against unjustified chargebacks and reversals. But the protection is not foolproof, as sellers are not protected against "Significantly Not As Described" claims.

Buyers are also not fully protected by PayPal's buyers protection program. While you can dispute transactions that you have done via PayPal, it does not protect you against items that you have bought on other marketplaces than eBay. In addition, the complaint process is very time-consuming, and there are many loopholes that PayPal can use to reject you complaint. Worst of all, PayPal does not cover non-physical products. That means if you purchase a website on a marketplace such as SitePoint, PayPal will not protect your purchase against fraud.

In most cases, it is better to only add credit card accounts with $ 0 fraud liability to your PayPal account. That way you can dispute your transactions with your credit card company regardless of PayPal's decision. PayPal is a wonderful service that helps millions of shoppers have a rich online shopping experience on a daily basis. However, the protection provided to buyers is not nearly enough. By using a PayPal credit card account that protects you against fraud, you can shop online more freely, knowing that your transaction is protected regardless of the loopholes available in PayPal's protection program.

For many, especially those taking part in international business transactions through such platforms as eBay, payment through PayPal for items won at auction is a commonplace and almost unavoidable practice. With more than two hundred million customers claimed, PayPal is the largest internet-based finance system for payments from one bank account to another in the world. Founded in 1998 and based in Jan José, California, PayPal has grown since its purchase by eBay in 2002 to become one of the largest and most widely used financial payment services available, with customers in one hundred and ninety nations.

The European arm of PayPal is registered in Luxembourg and received its patent as a bank from the authorities in Luxembourg in 2007, which is reflected in the automatic transfer of all European accounts from their respective local companies under the PayPal name from the PayPal registered PayPal account ( Europe) Limited to PayPal (Europe) S.à.rl & Cie, SCA It is regulated by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF).

Unlike other accepted and long established banks, PayPal does not offer any of the securities normally associated with the banking branch, and few of the services. Overdrafts, loans and insurance are not included, nor is there any personal customer relations department or a means to consult with a member of the bank personally over financial matters. The service is limited exclusively to the transfer of payment from one PayPal account to another and all customers are required to have their own established bank account and a registered email address. Amongst the services offered to European customers is the automatic debating of a checking or current account to settle bills raised through various actions. For this service PayPal receives payment from the customer receiving payment, based upon which country one or other of the accounts is registered.

It is this automatic debiting of an account which has, since its inception, raised a number of problems and shown the darker side of a company which claims, on the one hand, to be a bank and, when the situation is difficult for them, to be merely a financial transfer agent.

With an established bank, a direct debit from a personal account may be recalculated within sixty days of its action, giving all customers a certain level of security against fraudulent claims and bills. It is then up to the person or company raising the invoice to stake their claim by contacting the debtor directly and, if necessary, going through the due process of law to gain final payment. With PayPal this basic level of security is not present. Once PayPal has debited a checking or current account with the sum of an invoice that they have been presented with, the transaction is marked as closed. Regardless of whether the sum debited remains on the PayPal account of the recipient or is quickly transferred to another account, the paying customer can not reclaim funds. Here PayPal insists that the customer, should there be grounds for reclamation, contact the supplier directly.

The only exception to this non-banking practice is with eBay. Here eBay, as parent company, assures all customers using the PayPal services that their money is secure and, in the event of a reclamation, may be returned to their account immediately, allowing the normal process of the law to then proceed from the side of the company trying to gain funds. eBay is the only company excluded from the no-refund policy at PayPal, all others receive payment with the added security of knowing that few, if any, of their customers, or the people they have defrauded, can afford the process of making a reclamation through the courts – once the initial contact and request for refund as been refused – or are prepared to take on the complexities of fighting a claim in a foreign jurisdiction.

Paypal, owned by eBay is a great way of sending payments for eBay items or any items bought over the internet. Within minutes, you can send payments across the world. However, Paypal also has it's fair share of critics and members who disagree with their policies and agreements, especially when a decision goes against the complaining member or they lose out to online fraud.

Using paypal, you can choose to pay for your item or service in a number of ways. The most popular method is by using any balance you have within your paypal account. This is built up, by other members sending you payment for eBay or other items. Alternately, once you have registered your bank account and any debit or credit cards with paypal you can choose to pay for items using these options.

The safest way for members to pay for items with Paypal, is by registering a credit card and funding all payments though this. Because, paying though credit card typically offers an extra level of protection should things go wrong.

In most countries, credit card companies are partially or fulliable things to go wrong with a transaction and will actively get involved to resolve any issues or do a complete chargeback, placing the funds back on your account. Even if you enter into a dispute with paypal and lose, you can still get your credit card company involved to dispute any transaction.

However, paypal does not make it easy for you to fund a payment using a credit card if you already have a balance in the account. Payments are normally funded out of the paypal balance first, and then either from a backup source (bank account or credit card) if the funds are not enough to pay for the complete purchase.

To pay for an purchase purchase, via your credit card you need to clear any balance. You can do this by sending the payment to a non existing email address, or to an email address you own but is not registered with paypal.

As soon as you do this your balance will be empty, & you can now choose a funding option such as credit card. In the meantime, paypal will have sent an email to the non existing or alterative email address telling them of them have a payment waiting and how to open a paypal account.

Now your payment is complete, all you need to do is log back into your paypal account, find the transaction to the non existing email address and click on cancel. Your payment will be reversed back into your account, because it will have gone unclaimed.

Paypal is great to use and a brilliant resource, but it always helps to have a little extra level of protection when purchasing things online.

Running your eBay business is just about impossible without a PayPal account. PayPal is a company owned by eBay with over 100 Million users and counting. PayPal has been promoted extensively through all of the eBay websites, as the most respected and trusted, payment-processing option available.

As a result, most people looking to spend money on eBay prefer to have this option available and will probably use it.

PayPal is a very reliable way to receive money in your new eBay business, and it also has the added benefit of funds appearing in your account instantly.

If you process money through your own Online Merchant Account, it can actually take two or three days before the funds will appear. When new customers are anxiously waiting for their item to arrive, it's great to be able to send out their item immediately, once payment is received.

There are a number of fees PayPal charge for processing your transaction, but it's just a cost of doing business, and you need to include this cost when you're researching the reliability of a product to sell.

As part of the process, you'll need to supply an email address. This basically makes your account number, and you'll need to choose a password. For extra security, do not choose a password associated with your eBay account, and of course never reveal this to anyone.

The next step is to activate your account by confirming your email address.
