Paypal Question

[Tuna]

Ok, I don't have much experience with paypal, and I've never wanted to return stuff but i have a question.

I bought something using paypal, now I want to get a refund, If I ask the business (it wasn't done through ebay) to refund me, will it go back to my credit card or will it just get turned into "paypal money"?

I didn't have an "account" at the time, it just said I could fill in my info and it went through that way, but now I DO have an account.

Just wondering, If I can get the cash back, I'm gonna tell Cullen where to stick his e-codes, I've already drafted the email I just don't want to burn my bridge only to learn I need to use up a bunch of Paypal credit.

Edit: prompt advice would be great as I wanna put this to bed today, thanks.

Re: Paypal Question

Any money you have in a paypal account can be withdrawn to your credit card or if you set it up your bank account. I have recieved a refund through paypal and it went right to my credit card.

IF it was done through PAYPal ViA a Credit Card it should go back through Paypal to your Credit Card. There is a FAQ for Paypal check there.

Oh, they'll do refunds!!

Thanks Brent, and they don't charge you or anything? Oh, I guess fees are charged to the seller. Thanks guys, anyone else wanna pipe in before I hit send?

Re: Paypal Question

You will probably get charged a fee, the fees always occur on money coming in not going out.

Jason you want that brand new deep VR6 lip for your car as I am clearing out my MK3 goodies

Perhaps I missed it on another post, but what was wrong with the e-codes anyway?

That really sucks, I wait for 6 months and then I get to pay a fee, any idea how much?

Edit: Brent, did you have to pay a fee?

Re: Paypal Question

Well, I was hoping to hear from a few more of you but I asked for a refund, I guess I'll wait and see what he says.

Sorry, just saw you asked a question, it's a long story, but it is/was a group buy on VWVortex, it started I think last August, there is still no ETA and even when there WAS "ETA's" they were always wrong (for example, when I first inquired about getting in on the group buy I was told they may be delivered by Christmas). Anyway, it is quite possible that people will have waited close to a year once they start shipping the lights. Honestly, they are really nice lights and if I had a show worthy car I would consider sticking it out, but it's just not worth it, I'd rather just get my money and forget about it.

The last straw was that originally when I talked to him over IM on Vortex he told me that they had a Canadian warehouse and wouldn't be charged Duty or Taxes, however NOW he's saying that's not the case, that it hasn't been set up yet.

I'm fed up, as are many people. I think i've held on long enough, i'm just gonna buy some regular lights and spend the money on something else. It was a really good deal, but now I may end up paying a "fee" for something i'm never even gonna get.

It's official, I am teh suck at GB's

Re: Paypal Question

When Nick (vaggod) ordered his e-codes from cullen it took months and months to get here... and I don't even think that was on a group buy!

Well, I think what happened to Nick (I could be wrong) was the lights came fairly quick, but they were broken so he had to send them back and getting a new pair took forever. See that plus stories of guys from previous group buys not getting stuff and waiting forever for it (wiring harnesses and whatnot) just made me nervous. After waiting this long for them, if something would have been wrong with them I woulda been so angry.

Any way, on the plus side, he refunded my money minus a "fee" but I'm not sure it was him or paypal that took that.

Total Amount:
$179.99 USD
Fee Amount:
-$6.06 USD
Net Amount:
$173.93 USD

I'm just glad it's over with, I feel so much better I should have done that months ago. I just have to wait for my online banking to catch up to see if it came off or what.

Re: Paypal Question

You're right about them being broken... but they didn't come quickly at all. Once he sent them back the second pair came quickly.

Either way I am glad to hear that you got your $$ back.

Re: Paypal Question

Thanks,

And might I add, he was an ass about it. I tried to explain WHY I was wanting a refund....his response...."your orders been cancelled what's the problem"
