I have been charged 3 times so far - for me this was 8.00am - been trying since then to get ebay - I had 12 online chats that failed.

It now says 61 minutes wait time on calls.

I rang seller  - they said email only.

I emailed them to say duplicate orders.

the items are still in my basket on ebay and the items do not show in purchase history

If they know its messed up why don't they take the site down and fix it.

This is bound to be a bugged out update they load last night.

Come on ebay - fess up.

Good news - my seller has refunded me two of the payments.

 

So contact seller and advise them of duplicates

 

see how you get on.

Paypal also charge me 4 times, what is happening!!!!, I too got the message this transaction was not possible and kept trying but they still took the money everytime I tried to place the order. Ebay told me to contact pay-pal direct and gave me this number 0870 730 7191. Got through to someone whose English was very poor and although on checking my account it looks like they have reversed the payments, it is very confusing and I don't know what I have paid and what I haven't paid.
