Hi I have never posted here but I think this should be looked into. When you
receive a payment with E-CHECK the system should not mark as paid ore received
but it should state under payment status of (clearing) until it actually clears.
so the buyer and seller can see. Also when E-CHECK is used a message to buyer
and seller that order is on hold till payment has cleared.


Thanks Steve BRIX4KIX

Under the old system, back before I got a Paypal account, every time I put a
USPS money order in the mail, I marked the order as Paid. I no longer had the
money in my possession, and it let the Seller know I wasn't an NPB. I also
marked as Paid orders where I mistyped their Paypal address and the payment was
in limbo, in which case some of them let me know I'd made a mistake (and
I think one seller filed NPB). E-checks deduct quickly (usually within a day)
and pay out a few days later, but to the buyer it's like using a money order.
They don't have the money anymore, even though the seller hasn't received
it yet. For that matter, almost all of my Paypal payments are bank deductions,
and I suspect they show up right away but take a few days to clear because the
few times I borked the payment address, and sometimes when I received a refund,
it always took a few days for the money to be released.
