Re: Buyer has item, sent payment to wrong account.

I am having a similar problem but with my seller. What paypal email address did the payment go to? When You created the auction, what payment address did you put down for paypal? If you put down the wrong email address in the auction, ebay would show that the item was paid for but you may have not received the money in your paypal account because it was a different email address that the payment went to. For example, you have a registed paypal email address but in the auction you actually put in your 2nd email address. If that's the case, you may be able to add additional emails to your paypal account so you can receive the money from more than one email? Not sure... ... View more

Seller is using wrong Paypal "unregistered " Email...

I recently tried to pay for an ebay auction and I had funds in my paypal account. Paypal said that my payment was "processing". when I checked the payment details, it said that the email address was "unregistered" and that the receiver (the seller) had not accepted the money as of yet. I know the seller has sold before and has previously received payments. The Seller claims I have not paid and has received no notification of me doing so. I think that when the seller originally created the auction, he/she put in the wrong paypal email address. Is there a way once the auction is over for the seller to correct the email address that the payment is going to? I would like it to show that I actually paid in the "my ebay" window. If I try to send the payment to whatever address the seller gives me, I wonder if I will still have the Buyer protection that paypal offers for the auction. ... View more
