Thread: Paypal risk alert

  1. #1

    Default Paypal risk alert

    we have had a paypal payment for a sale on another site, when checking the payment in paypal there is a red flag with "risk alert". has anyone had the same or anyone know what it means. we have scoured the paypal site and cannot find an answer. just to add a bit more info, the buyer is in the uk and has very good feedback as a buyer and seller.we would like to say again this is not an ebid sale, but wondered if anyone can shed any light on the matter.

    Hi Hobbyhabitat

    These flags have been confirmed as a bug on the PayPal site. The team there are aware of them and this should be resolved later today.

    PayPal Customer Support have told members that they can ignore the flags at this time.

    Auctionbytes reported an PayPal glitch earlier today with the red flag alert appearing on some sellers pages. PayPal are said to be trying to fix it

    Something to do with their latest update apparently.

    I have to admit, I was a little concerned about this today when noticed I had 27 of them today!

    Was more than a little relieved to find it out in another forum that it was a glitch

    I've a few of these too. All low value amounts, but still glad that it's a glitch. Every little helps as Mr T says.

    Apparently Paypal has bought out Parker Games and plan to buy Waddingtons next. So we will see a Monopoly Alert too.

    Was worried when saw my first one as it was on a large order that had been despatched.

    Think it's time to send Paypal to jail.

    Best wishes for many sales to all,
