Has anyone done this? I'm considering it. No, but I did use PP "friends & family" once to send some $ to avoid a potential defect. Somebody on the other board ripped me a new one for doing it, after the fact. But hey, you do what ya gotta do these days to  . |

Yeah, the buyer seems nice. I'm sure she wouldn't mind. I'd get it swiftly mailed out tomorrow.

Yep, I just put the cash in with the item and let the buyer know that it was in there so be on the lookout.

I do that rather often too critter, this one the buyer got the item and found a flaw I missed. I've never sent cash with this scenario. I think I'm gonna do it.

If you've already sent the package why not just use the send money feature with paypal and choose that you will pay the fees. I wouldn't send it in the mail. You won't get a defect for sending it directly just don't go through the transaction page.

I don't (or didn't) think partials caused defects, only a full refund.

No, b/c you won't get a defect, I do partials all the time for multiple shipping refunds. Never got a defect once.
I have sent a partial in cash on occasion, if it's $1 or something, but I prefer to get a refund on my fees.

I'd read where someone had refunded (through PP) the full amount LESS one penny and it didn't cause a defect or wave any red flags. I think it may be when you refund through eBay that things change... FWIW, I've done several partials through PP for shipping overcharges and nothing has bitten me in the butt. |

You CAN go through the tx page, that's where I do them all from. Plus you're get your pro-rated fee refund. Never had a defect, I do it all the time.

For some reason I thought I'd get a defect. I won't worry so much next time. Thanks  |

I've done the minus a penny refund and didn't get a defect. Only had to do it once tho. |

I always refund my shipping discount to the buyers for calculated priority-never a defect.
And I reserve the right to send $ to "family or friends" from PP when eBay relists a sold item and it sells again.
I then refund the amount of the purchase since it is eBays fault!!! Never a defect that way, of course.

I use to send cash until a month ago. I sold a Patagonia pullover on my other ID. I noticed a flaw and put $20 in the package when I mailed it. The customer insists it wasn't there. So....I sent her another $20 through Paypal. I KNOW I put the money in there as I had two twenty dollar bills on me and I was happy I didn't have to go hit an ATM.

I think the only time you get a defect is if the partial is a settlement on a SNAD claim and you have it whether you refund all of some. Bet that is what they are seeing though.
