Question about ebay, and echecks. Are they legit?

[blitzerlover]

Someone hit my BIN for a Jair Jurrjens Red Xfractor for 99.99 and paid with an echeck.

When I check paypal it says that the payment will take 3-5 days to clear, and that I am not eligible for seller protection. Is this a legit form of payment or should I be worried?

An E-Check is legit. It takes a few days so don't send it out before payment has cleared..

E-Checks don't take out as much fees as a regular payment..

Ok, thanks for the quick answer. I guess I got a little worried about it because I had no idea what it was.

It happens when the buyer has a debit card on file, but no credit card as a back up. I am in this state currently because the CC I had on file expired, and I haven't added my new one. Sorry sellers! At least I only buy something once every month or so now...


It's good to know they take out less fees! Maybe I'm actually helping these sellers.

I had an e-check once for a high dollar item and the E-Check Fee was $5..

So yes you could be helping out the sellers..

Not sure if the other guys mentioned it but after the echeck clears you do qualify for seller protection.

What is seller protection????

I only know of Buyer Protection. Its not like Ebay or Paypal will side with a seller - they only side with buyers.

If you have proof of delivery or signature confirmation on items over $250 and send to the paypal confirmed address of the buyer, it helps your cause if there is a problem.

Someone signed up 1 day before winning one of my auctions and i'm waiting the pass 4 days for it to clear. So yes they are legit and I was HER first :lol:
