I have been experimenting with dropshipping and paypal just gave me a temorary hold on a few things.
What steps can I take to decrease my fraud risk when accepting payments?
Watch for address inconsistencies.
Although it's fairly common for a shipping address to be different than a billing address, this could be a fraud indicator. For example, a high priced item that has a billing address in one country and a shipping address in another may be suspicious.
this is whats comes up when I go into the claim
Beware of unusual buyer requests.
Unusual requests should put you on alert to suspicious activity. For example, buyers who:
* Want a rush shipment at any cost
* Send partial payments from different PayPal accounts
* Do not make their payment in full
What is a temporary hold?
While a transaction is being investigated, the funds associated with it may be temporarily held. This means that they are not eligible for withdrawal until the investigation is closed.
