A couple of months ago I opened an online shop at etsy.com
Sale is very slow. There are too many sellers and I am not exactly getting my supplies cheap. I am selling some cheap stuff I can get in shops and sell it in USD.
Yesterday I received an email notification from Paypal. Someone in some island I never heard of bought 2 sets of erasers from me.
The payment process says completed. So I have to send out the goods. Honestly, shipping cost is not cheap but I have factor in the cost and make a small profit from it.
However, the money stays in Paypal.
Not sure if this is a valid sale or not. Can the Paypal status changed into “cancel” or “withdraw” later?
I’ve not put up anymore new items for sale for a long time. I also don’t have time to go bargain hunting for stuff to sell. There are too many sellers from Asia selling similar products.
Maybe I should look for something made locally which appeals to Americans or Europeans. It has to be craft supplies or handmade goods.

You can debit the money to your Visa credit or debit cards with a small fee. Not all cards supported.
Yes, I am aware of that and I do have a debit card that works with Paypal. Anyway, the sale my made is minimal. Therefore I let the money sits in Paypal and use it to pay for my online purchase (if any).
