Just a quick question. I just sold my powerbook on ebay and they are paying via paypal.
When someone pays via paypal, is it safe to send the item straight away? Can someone pay via paypal and then take the payment back before it gets into your bank account?

it should be ok, they can try to fuck you, but there is seller protection also
what model did you sell and for how much?

I would wait till the payment is in your paypal account, then transfer it to your bank before sending the item. That way they can not withdraw payment.
But I do not know the answer to your original question.

thanks for the quick replies!
I sold the new G4 Powerbook 15" 1.25GHz 768 RAM. It's very nice and fast but I can't afford to keep it. I only bought it in the first place because the college had shitty OLD imacs and didn't work half the time. Now I bought the powerbook their getting G5's!!!
I sold it for £1'550 which is pretty good, didn't pay much more than that brand new.
I'll probably be replacing it with the G4 imac 15" 1GHz which is only £930

hehe, well, although I've never run into any problems in the 40-50 times I've used paypal, I have some heard some horror stories so I don't really know what to tell people when they ask these kind of questions.
