On the 27th of Feb i sold the Giant Dub bike on ebay, after alot of messages from the buyer asking me to send the bike before paying i managed to get payment from him. Sadly the bike has been damaged so i have refunded him part of his money, but i have just noticed that the status of the money that he sent is 'uncleared' and he paid with an E-cheque. So i am now worried that on the 10th of March (when the Echeque clears) that it will bounce and leave me owing paypal the money that i have given the buyer. He is demanding the remaining £25, but i feel uneasy as i don't want to get myself deeper into trouble with paypal if it does all go wrong

E-cheques are strange things take ages to clear, normally means theres a problem with the payment, could only be that there card expried,
BUT the main probelm is that he can cancle the E-cheque at anytime before it clears...

If he cancels the cheque, or it bounces, will I be liable for the money I refunded to him? depends on how you refunded it did you click partial refun or just send him some money? if you just sent him money then you'll need to speak to paypal, if you partial refunded then you might be ok

If you just sent the money back. Phone paypal and get them to cancel it. E -cheques are dodgy things. It can be that they don't have the money in their paypal to cover it. It can also mean the bank they used isnt linked to it anymore. So no money will ever come thru. That coupled with the bike supposedly being damaged (got any proof?) Seems like hes trying it on

Seems like hes trying it on /\ This, I had an e-Cheque for some clothing I sold that was the wife's. the buyer got ar*ey because I wouldn't let her post the stuff out until the funds were physically cleared in my paypal account. This e-Cheque duly bounced like a ball, the 'buyer' didn't make contact after the wife emailed her asking her to resend her payment. Pain in the ar*e but at least she didn't send the goods, all eBay fee's were refunded etc...... As Resto says, has the buyer provided any proof of the damage? To be fair if it's damaged in transit then the courier provider shoudl be liable, I wouldn't refund a penny without seeing a photo of the said 'damage'..........Guess you're too late to for this now.

I havent sent the bike, the damage was done in my garage (ladder fell off the storage on the wall). But i told the buyer about the damage, cancelled the sale but stupidly sent them their money back, and only then did i see that it was an uncleared Echeque. Going through his ratings i have a feeling the Echeque will bounce, as its all for 99p ipod stuff He is now asking for pictures of the damage (when i find the camera) or he will give bad feeback

As its unjust. You gave the money back due to damage to the item. You didnt send for this reason. You have done nothing wrong than try to be honest. Frankly tell him to F*CK off. Ive had a few issues lately and tbh most people on ebay seem to have some negitive. You can respond to the feedback and tell your side so its not all bad.

I had Paypal send money by an e-Cheque when I paid for something a while back, it did it without asking me, nor explaining what was going on or why.
Total PITA.
I spotted it try that on me again after that, and I managed to select a normal payment type.
Whenever I get them (which is rare) I wait for them to clear and then send the stuff.

When i asked them it was supposedly due to having zero funds in my paypal balance. If you have even £2 in there and are buying a £30 item it still links your bank and sends a normal payment. If you have none it doenst and sends and echeque. That said I'm not sure how it realy works. And I'm pretty certain you can take your bank account off the paypal register and send money. It wont take it out of your account but will send an echeque. So to the untrained eye the seller thinks they got the money....
