Hi
I've had an Email to say I've received a payment to my account. The Email address the notification was sent to is one that I have deleted from my Paypal account. When logging in to my account, using my current Email address, the payment does not show. I think this may be due to me deleting the old address from my account? Any advice on how to resolve this is much appreciated.
Neil.

You must still have the old email addy on your auctions and need to change it during the listing proceses in the payments section in the paypal box next time you list an item for sale.
Firstly can you add that email addy to your paypal account, as you can have up to 8 on the one account.
If not then you need to contact your buyers and ask them to see what it says in there paypal accounts either:
1. Unclaimed with a cancel option.
2. Unclaimed.
3 Completed.
If its:
1. Then ask them to cancel the payment but tell them that it will take a few days to go back to their funding source if they funded their original payment with a debit or credit card. Then get them to use the "send money" > Goods option and pay to your email address. Tell them DO NOT use the ebay option or it will direct them to ebay checkout and the same thing will happen.
2. If there is no cancel option then the buyer will get their money back automatically 30 days after paying if it remains unclaimed. You will need to sort out between you if you want to still go ahead with the sale or cancel it.
3. If its completed then come back for more advice.
Also to help you sort things with your buyers you can pull their contact info if its an ebay transaction. Go to advanced search top of ebay pages > contact member left column > fill in the details and ebay will send you an email with their telephone number.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.
