Hi I had a buyer who left it over 60 days to ask to return the items and have a refund, which i agreed to.As it was over 60 days i was unable to refund through the normal "issue refund" channel so refunded through "send payment". I checked the invoice and clicked on view paypal payment for email address which started wit k.8t but i mistakenly left out the dot between the k and the 8 sending the money to k8t and it seems now i have refunded the wrong person! Has anyone got advice as to what i do now? Many thanks Mike ... View more
