problem with receiving money from eBay transaction

[pauls123]

Hi, I am having problems in receiving money for items sold via eBay. The Paypal transaction is showing as pending on my eBay transaction. After checking other questions that have been posted on here previously I think I know why I am encountering the problem = when the item was listed for sale the preferred paymnet method was enteres as Paypal, the Paypal email address has then been entered incorrectly. Therefore, there is a mis-match of information. Can you please advise how I can update this for an item that has ended on eBay to enable the funds to come through and be received into my aypal account. Thanks

Firstly can you add that email addy to your paypal account, as you can have up to 8 on the one account.
If you can add and verify it then the payments should come through.

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. If it changes to completed they need to come here for advice. 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.


Then next time you list an item for sale change the email addy during the listing process and check everytime.

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.
