Hello Paypallers!
Ok, I feel like a complete and utter tool writing this. But I really need some help.
I started selling just over a week or so ago.
The first item I sold, I had put the wrong email address in the listing - it was for an older account. So, in a panic, I started trying to reopen this old account to try and switch the money to my more recent account. Because I was sure what I was doing and was worried I would lose the payment, I decided to contact the buyer and offer him a refund and cancel the listing. I did these two things - or so I thought. Because that old account had been suspended (I had tried to log on a bunch of times using old passwords that I could remember so it must have looked really dodgy) I wasn't able to issue the refund.
Luckily, my most EXCELLENT buyer, who has swathes of common sense said,
"You have a payment from me. You have ther item I have paid for. Why don't you just send the item and cancel the refund?" What a BRILLIANT idea! BUT I had also cancelled the listing. Anyway, I sent the item and my buyer has received it and left feedback (which is very kind and positive given the circumstances!
So a couple things. 1st - regarding my old email address. I managed to get it verified and reactivated and it is now my proper email associated with my Paypal account - so that is all good. I removed my bank and credit card details from my other Paypal account and I'll just leave it.
I have sold a few other things and everything is fine and the payments to my account are pending bas my selling history increases.
But that very first payment is pending because i have requested a refund to my buyer that I now need to cancel.
Please tell this dimwit (ME) what I should do. (answers like stop using Paypal will be ignored. LOL)
