Flippa and his curious solution

[Dondomainer]

After selling a domain. have confirmed my account with my credit card, have also confirmed my account with the phone, my email, have transferred the domain to buyer,

Flippa says that they send payment through paypal, if I add my bank account and as an alternative solution they say :

If the buyer has already received the assets and wishes to send you funds directly via PayPal, I'm happy to refund the Buyer's payment.

Also they say that $ 5 of my credit card frozen for two days, were not to authenticate my account, wait a minute, then flippa lie because that's exactly what they say.

His solution is utterly disappointing, worthy of a novice website.

I don't feel safe on offer too much information about me, I think they have created a system that works more like a financial institution as a domain market.

In the end, I do not know when I can collect my money, a complete nightmare.

FLIPPA is the worst marketplace I ever seen ... don´t understand how people still use their services.
My wishes: Flippa bankruptcy before the end of 2016
* I know what I´m saying is not professional, nor is FLIPPA ...

Have you contacted @FlippaDomains ?

Have you contacted @FlippaDomains ?

Yes, four messages since January 8, and one solution :

If the buyer has already received the assets and wishes to send you funds directly via PayPal, I'm happy to refund the Buyer's payment.

Your story confused me... Do you mean that:
- the buyer chose to pay with Flippa Escrow
- Flippa received the money from the buyer
- you transferred the domain
- the buyer released the payment
- Flippa does not want to pay you with Paypal, unless you add a bank account?

- Flippa received the money from the buyer
- I transferred the domain
- the buyer released the payment
- I paid Flippa Fee ( $15 )
- Flippa does not pay me through PayPal until I add my bank account


Another day, and Flippa no pay, no response.

- Flippa does not pay me through PayPal until I add my bank account.

Wouldn't the simplest solution to do is add your bank account?

 

[Nerevar]

Weird, never heard of this problem. On the other hand, I have added my bank account right from start, so maybe I missed it. Anyway, there is no problem of security with Flippa, they are OK. They are in this business for years.

Everyone has good security until something happens, then I'm sorry. You seriously believe that a Australia company you can claim something ,. however, I agreed to pay $ 5 of my credit card for the purpose of authenticating my account, but now they say no, that these $ 5 is not for that.

You do not need my bank account to know I'm a real person, you have already put two charges to my card and I transferred the domain.

to avoid issues, accept only direct paypal payment after a sale. and make it clear when you get offer and negotiate, or in your listing, if you list auctions.

not sure how to handle it with buynow listings, as I have none. but I sure as heck do not sell on flippa, unless its a direct paypal payment after the sale is made on flippa.

I accept only direct paypal payment.

 

[alcy]

etiehr I misunderstood you or you misudnerstood me.

I meant that the buyer pays you via paypal. not buyers pays flippa via paypal and then flippa pays you via paypal.

sorry if I got your OP wrong.

 

[Nerevar]

I accept only direct paypal payment.

If so, then, why did you transfer the domain without receiving the direct Paypal money?

The money is on Flippa..

 

[SirDrago]

I need to ask,
Is this your first Flippa transaction?

 

[Dondomainer]

My first and my last.. yes

 

[alcy]

The money is on Flippa..

well if money is on flippa then obviously that isn't the direct psypal buyer payment I Was talking about.

consider what I said as solution for yoru future payments.

if you use middle man to hold your payment, the risk of things going wrong will never be zero.

I always had problems to be solved on Flippa, no complain so far. They have helpful support, I believe you will find solution.

 

[SirDrago]

My first and my last.. yes

When the bidder wins the auction you are given the winners contact info.
Their name, email etc...
You needed to email the winner using that info to request DIRECT PayPal payment.
NOT THRU FLIPPA.
