has anyone had any bad experiences with buying stuff over the net with paypal?

i just tried to buy new rims from america and i have more than enough money on my card but it declined my card and wouldnt give a reason.. im pretty pissed off because i think these are the only rims i have seen in ages that i actually like..

any feedback would be welcome and move the topic if needed i had no idea where to put it and it related to rims.

cheers guys,

Alex

Limit on single transactions from your bank ?

Isnt there a way to put money into your paypal account, so its there and ready?

Try doing that, either in a single movement, or multiple s ?

Or hit up the bank.

Did you get a two digit number shown up when it declined? they act as a code, like EFTPOS machines do.

here is the rims i want.. if anyone knows where i can get them in oz i would happily buy them.

i have spent over 2K in one transaction at harvey norman before and no worries.. this was only going to be $830..

so im a bit confused.

again if anyone knows where i can get these in oz it would be a lot easier. cheers.

I can only thing of two things...

1. As others have suggested - daily transaction limit from bank.

2. Have you confirmed your Paypal account yet? With Credits you do not have to do this - whereas bankcards you do.

I have used Paypal on many transaction - all went well plus there's free insurance up to $20K so that's peace of mind for you too.

I can't add my bank account to my PayPal account, and here is why!

This is the third time I have added my bank account to a PayPal account. First two times I deleted my account because I decided not to have one, as they are an absolute scam if you sell a few things on eBay. I decided to get PayPal again, as it is now the standard for making any transaction on eBay. I couldn't add my bank account this time, since their policy is not to allow it to be added for a third time, as it might be shifty.

I gave them a call to discuss my options. My only option is to get a new bank account. I will definitely not be doing that anytime soon! So now I have money sitting in there that I can't get across to my bank account, and since eBay has made it the standard for transactions then it looks like I am crippled when using eBay.

It's a stupid system if you ask me.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
