Just to caution you if you got your hands on one of these and plan on selling them on Ebay for a profit. Paypal has susupended down everyones accounts that have sold one of them on Ebay.

You must have proof that you bought it and proof that the person received it.

Make sure you keep a copy of your receipt if you plan on including it in auction in case of problem with machine so person can return it, so you have proof of purchase.

My brother sold 3 Wees and was told they were doing this to protect buyer even if the buyer has not complained about purchase. Lucky for him he has all the documents but they have it going to review before they will release the funds.

So just make sure that you have proof of everything before putting one up for auction.

If Paypal suspends those accounts, and one must have a purchase receipt and proof of delivery, don't most sellers wait to ship until payment has been received? In that case, one could ship to someone, and possibly take the chance the person won't pay, and they would still have the merchandise. My son has one, and is debating on selling it, I will let him know, thanks for the tip. :)

He had received the payments and one was an echeck that he had to wait until it cleared and then sent the systems out. Right after he received payment he requested withdraw to bank account. He went to check on withdraw and found that his withdraw and had been reversed and his account was suspended. They never contacted him about it just suspended his account.

When he called Paypal they told him they suspended everyones accounts that sold PS3 or Wee due to fraud to protect buyers. And wanted proof of purchase and delivery. Meanwhile the buyers have the systems, paypal has his money and he is out of Christmas money for his boys which was the intended use of the money.

Just make sure your son has a receipt for proof of purchase and when he ships it make sure it needs signature confirmation to be received. This way if paypal has questions you have the proof.

Oh, OK that clarifies it for me. Yes, I will tell my son about this if he does decide to sell it. He has said though, it has been tough to see it in his closet unopened, he says he gets tempted to just keep it, but originally, I think he was hoping to make money on it.
Thanks again for letting us know. Have a great weekend.
