eBay/PayPal question

[Doug]

Has anyone tried purchasing a card over $10,000 on eBay with PayPal? As far as I know PayPal still has a $10k per transaction limit and I think to qualify for the eBay buyer protection you have to pay in a single payment. I tried customer service and didn't get anywhere so I was hoping maybe someone on here has tried it?

Doug- i was thinking pay pal limits were around $7400 per transaction. Not positive though

According to the PayPal website "The maximum amount allowed for a single transaction is $10,000 USD by a PayPal member". If that is the case, I'm not sure how someone can list an item over $10,000 on eBay and require payment by PayPal if it isn't possible to pay for it that way.

Maybe they could but would have to split it up....

you'll have to split up the amount. I bought a car from ebay auto before, and the full $20,000 was covered.

I have a paypal/ebay question as well.

I have only been selling for a few months, and seem to have this reoccuring problem.

If an international bidder, buys a Buy It Now auction, and then immediately instapays, how can you add a few bucks to the final shipping costs??

I don't really want to shut down on the international bidders, they are very interested in what I usually sell. (vinyl records)

Thanks
