Selling a wedding dress - Paypal Question

Emly, on August 9, 2019 at 3:29 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 6

Ok I need some advice from people who have more experience than me when it comes to paypal.

I am trying to sell one of the dresses that I decided not to wear for my wedding and I have a lady who would like to purchase it through a facebook group. She seems super sweet and her Facebook profile seems legit. She sent me the money through paypal and I am shipping the dress tomorrow.

After she sent me the money I just started feeling funny about this whole thing. Maybe its just because I've gotten burned too many times in the past. But my question- is it possible for her to dispute or recall her transaction after I tell her the dress has been shipped?? Leaving me out the dress and the money that she has already sent me??


How else are you supposed to sell a wedding dress Smiley xd

    There's always a chance someone could be a scam artist and put in a claim after you've shipped it. But I imagine Paypal would look into it and as long as you have documentation of the sale (the condition of the dress before shipping, all your communication, etc.) I can't imagine they'd side in the scammer's favor. I would say just make sure you keep any photos, communications and receipts (from shipping) until she has it and a month or two has passed.

    Transfer to your account right away and be sure to get a tracking number or overnight the dress so you can be sure she got it. If there are any issues, PayPal has great customer service.

    I think if you kept proper documentation of everything (confirmation, shipping receipt, tracking number, etc) that you could easily counter any "well I never got it" scams
