Anyone use paypal for their rabbitry?

I was pondering setting up paypal for deposits on rabbits in my rabbitry.

Has anyone used it beforeandcouldoffer some feedback?

Don't recommended it. There's been a large amount of people paying for the rabbits, picking them up, getting the pedigree, and then charging back the money.

Unfortunately, paypal can't do anything about it, since there's no substancial proof either way. Same thing if a rabbit dies past where your policy covers it. If it's within paypal's time limit, they can do a charge back and you can lose all your money.

Ugh I don't like the sound of that.

Thanks though, I don't think I'll be going that route.

Do NOT recommend it either for various reasons...

That is very interesting. I have a paypal option on my web site for people to buy rabbits from me but no one has bought any yet... Thankfully, now that I found this. I think i'll go and take that off there.

Whaleyk98, do you mind telling what those other reasons are?

Wow. I didn't even know that as a buyer you could do that. I know you have the option to refund the money as a seller...... I have purchased rabbits and other products through paypal and have never had any problems. I also know most of the rabbitries I work with only accept paypal for the deposit, you must pay the balance in cash upon pick up. I guess that is there version of protection......Good Luck

I had a hacker get into my account and steal $200 dollars...not a very happy moment for me when I found out. I pulled my account ater that. Not secure enough for me.

People are just dishonest and say they didn't receive the goods they bought. And paypal will refund there money. I have had to do that with Ebay purchases. Goods just weren't received.
