so im selling my bike and i have to ship it, ive heard paypalwas pretty legit with money transfer and all that and was just wondering on how it really works to get the money and if you guys have had any problems with it.
from what i can gather someone sends you the money to your checking account and when they do it shows up on your paypal account.
also, how long does it take for the money to be legit so you can take it out of the back?
thanks

ok you make a paypal account. the person wil lsend you money for the bike, and you will have a balance in your paypal account. from here you can request a check from paypal, or you can link your paypal account to your checking account and have the money wire transfered. it takes like 3-4 days for the money to transfer.

yeah you never have to. they can send you money and it stays in your paypal balance. from there you can request a check from paypal and it comes in like a week or two i think.

so i got the person "send" me the money but it doesnt show up in my paypal, but i got an email saying that the person sent it and all i have to do is ship the box and give the tracking number and then it will be verified in my account, is this what is supposed to happen?

No. It's a scam. Don't send anything until it is in your paypal account. www.paypalsucks.com
