I do not use PayPal, but when accepting credit cards it does take a few days for the actual payment to post to my account, even though the credit card transaction has gone through. I'm sure others on here have accepted payments through PayPal.

Lived to tell about it and will never do it again Posts: 5409	I have never used pay pal but have heard about people getting their merchandise then disputing and getting a refund from pay pal. If this is the case you would be out a horse and money.

Expert Posts: 1261	I have used it once on a horse we sold out of state. It was just a broodmare and the funds came through before the horse shipper showed up so it worked out but they do take a percentage.

Expert Posts: 3104 Location: Arkansas	We just sold a pony this week and did the WalMart money transfer. Super easy. She sent it and I went and picked it up from WM about 15 min later-cash in hand.

Veteran Posts: 100 Location: Oklahoma	I built most of My S10 threw PayPal & always payed the 3% over on transactions because I felt if You did the Gift option they could Scam Ya!!! Other than than Ive never had a problem with em... Ive bought over 10k in products but never a horse threw PayPal... If You dont feel right about it do a Bank transfer or Money Gram/ Western Union... Ive done Money Orders on a few Old Guys that werent into newer technology LoL That worked good also...
