Anyone here has encounter this problem before?
Bidpay do not authorise payment even though the buyer has paid to bidpay and credit card has been verified?
They blame the seller as being dangerous seller.
Advise buyer to use escrow service
I never count on payments from BidPay till I have their check in my hot little hands, and I never ship product based on a BidPay stated e-mail notice of payment until their check is in.

If you are not a USA seller, BidPay will not send you the money!
It's unfortuante, but some countries has a problem with fraud. It makes selling from those countries very difficult. Point out to your government that fraud and corruption are not good for business.

abacaxi,
Sorry. Your information is wrong.
BidPay now send cheques to several countries including Australia.
I know, I've received several in the last few weeks!

You are right in that regard, however in another post made about the same time it was revealed that the seller was from Oz.
Unless you saw the other post you understandably wouldn't have realised.
Cheers,
Bob.

Globaldir, not only have we heard of this practice, but Marek of Bidpay has actually posted here regarding it.
Unlike Paypal, they keep their eyes open for the potential scams, and take preventive measures.
There is a very real chance that you owe them a "thank you".
Where is Marek, by the way? Would like to hear his/her comments on this one.

Actually getting the money order is not sufficiant to ensure it's good.
There was another thread on hear a while ago, where the buyers credut card bounced after BidPay sent the money order, so they stopped payment on it without telling the seller.
