Paypal Question

hanstess · 02-28-2015, 02:48 PM

Has anyone else received an email from Paypal about a new feature as noted below?

"Congrats! You've been selected to get Pay After Delivery. With our new Pay After Delivery feature, you’ll get 14 days for your item to be delivered before money is deducted from your bank account"

I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a scam or phishing thing.

hmm, wonder what/how that works on sellers end when a buyer uses that...? paypal basically fronting the payment to seller?

Ive actually had it for 9 months now.

paypal pays the seller when you make the purchase and then in 2 weeks takes the money from you. You can choose to pay for it quicker if you like.
Also it works on more than one item at a time.
I wanted to test the limits last year and it allowed me to have 5 separate purchases all pay after delivery.

Nice feature especially when you find a great price on something but don't get paid for another week.
Will not work on payments made via invoice between two people just to let you know.
