Re: Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens
Quote:For some people, it is against their religion to acknowledge Christmas at all. While it is a very important part in many of our lives, I don't think it is good for business to push your beliefs on anyone else. I think a Season's Greetings or a Happy Holidays would be proper. I send a personalized card to every buyer with every transaction, regardless of how big or little the item amount, how long I've had that customer, or how many things he/she has purchased from me. I don't wait for Christmas or any special occasion. And when it is holiday time, it's a "Happy Holidays" card. Religion has nothing to do with business in my mind, unless that's the business you're in. I couldn't give a rat's ass if my buyer is a Satan-worshiper, he/she is treated with the same courtesy as anybody else. Hell, if Ray himself bought something from me, he'd get a Thank You card, too. PowerSeller appears to have an attitude. Talk about learning about business! Blowing off buyers, whether potential or not, is NOT GOOD BUSINESS. So don't lecture me or anybody else here, boinktard. I get tons of questions a day from "buyers" who never purchase anything from me. Since when is it good business to first determine who's serious and who isn't before servicing? I, too, made the mistake of being nice to PowerSeller. But then, I judge everybody positively unless proven otherwise -- and you did, PS. |

On the Wagglepop boards a seller has written "But, I am unable to send money from my Paypal account currently due to selling a Nintendo on another site (with only enough markup to cover my sales tax at that!) I will be unable to send/receive money for at least the 45 days after the payment was received, since it is a high risk item, and the account is completely limited. Is there a way to make payment without logging into Paypal? Can I enter my Paypal email address on WP, then select that I don't have an account and just make a CC payment? " He/she wants to pay the wagglepop fees and can't from that account. They advise him to open up another account to pay them. If one account is restricted, can he do that without getting in trouble with Paypal? [/quote] I could be wrong, but I don't think you're supposed to do that. There was a thread on the SB or PS boards about something similar recently. From what I gathered (again, merely what was said not necessarily the facts), if you have a 'frozen' account, you aren't supposed to use any PP account. Similar to being suspended on eBay, you can't just start up a new ID and use it. Well, you can, but if you get caught it's ground for NARU.

Ok, that's what I thought too but couldn't find it on paypal. Once again, they are showing they don't have the seller's best interests in mind there - only thier pocketbook!

Quote:Happy Holidays cards are a good alternative if you do not know the recipients religion. Why take the chance of alienating a customer. What an absolutely tactful and well thought out reply!

(NO offense to any religion meant there ~ I have no problem w/ anyone's religion or lack thereof. I just agree that it shouldn't be involved in business decisions!)

[/quote] Here's what I found in the User Agreement: Any of the following events may lead to your account being limited: xiii. Opening multiple accounts; If having multiple accounts can lead to a limited account, I would guess it would be frowned on to open a new one if it was already limited. Just my take on it YMMV.

Someone told that seller not to open up a second paypal account or they risked being banned from Paypal completely. That post has now disappeared!
