I had a "friend" sell car parts and he had the buyer send the funds to my paypal account which has happened in the past with no issues, I received the money and transferred it out to his bank account only to find a few days later that the parts were never sent and the buyer has opened a paypal dispute, of course to my account.
That's put my account into the minus funds so I can only guess that paypal automatically refunded the buyer?
Confusing bit now is I still have an open paypal case and the only thing I can do is close the case and refund the buyer at my cost, but surely paypal has already refunded the buyer? To make that more confusing I have transferred the funds from my bank account into the paypal balance to make up the negative amount but 3 days later it just says pending despite having already left my bank account.
So my question is, does it take a few days to clear into the paypal account and if I hit the refund and close case link, is that no then going to put me back into the minus? I have actually got the money back off the "friend" to cover the refund but would that not be refunding twice?
Hopefully that makes sence
