Question: Pending eCheck Instant Purchase Payment ??

[iowngunz]

If selling an account and you received a Pending eCheck Instant Purchase Payment for a sum of money from the buyer is htis a scam or a trick through paypal?

I have recieved notice from paypal that it takes several days for the payment to go through, and usually I get payment immediatly to my paypay account.

Is this a trick or an attempt by the alleged buyer to scam me?

I have never been paid in this way before...thus the mild paranoia.

Below is the e-mail I got from paypal.


<span style="font-weight: bold">ECheck Payments remain .Un-cleared. until the funds have cleared from the sender.s account, which usually take several business days. If you are shipping an item, please do not ship it until the funds have cleared into your PayPal account. You will be notified by email when the funds have cleared into your PayPal balance.</span>

I personally prefer taking e-check payments over instant credit-card payments through Paypal, as chargebacks are a total [censored] to deal with. Depending on how much you trust your buyer, I would either wait until the payment clears into your account, or give your buyer the account name / password (no SQ/SA e-mail change yet) so that he can enjoy some playtime while the two of you wait on the e-check to clear.
