Paypal Mass Pay safe?

[uclaboyz]

Dear Fellow DNer's,

I see sellers asking buyers to pay using Paypal mass pay - what's the reason for that? Can the seller not dispute a mass pay or something?

I'm about to take a payment from a buyer (not going through Escrow) and I want to take Paypal, but I don't want the buyer to dispute the purchase, or claim it's unauthorized, or do a chargeback (pisses me off!).

What other alternatives do you guys use?

Thanks,
Steve

PP Masspay simply forces the buyer to pay fees and to pay from their balance - no credit cards, at least thats how it works for me.

Whether it gives the buyer less right to enter into a dispute I couldnt say. Im guessing the risk is the same.

Moneybookers gives you the capability to avoid chargebacks but not a lot of people use it.

If you make sure you are dealing with good buyers chargebacks shouldnt be a problem and if theres really a dispute you should be able to work it out without involving pp.

Look into bank wires as an option, but the fees might not make it workable if you are dealing in small amounts.

for mass pay the seller just pays 1$ fee instead of 4%

No way to avoid that with Paypal no matter how you use it. If it is a lower end domain (<$500) then you might want to stick with Paypal but if it is higher (and you need to figure if the fees are worth it) then I would recommend Escrow or another similar service.
