Hi, a buyer expressed her interest in purchasing one of my high-value items. She told me Paypal limited her accounts (plural) so she would not be able to purchase using any of them. She suggested that she would hence pay half on eBay using her own money, and the other half will be paid by her friend via Paypal. She also told me she did not want that friend to have her address, just needed the person to send me payment and I would ship the item to her address listed on eBay. I have a few questions: 1. If I received the payment as Goods and Services, I would have to provide a tracking number for the transaction. Can I use the same tracking info for both transactions (eBay and Paypal) then? Would she/her friend be able to file a Paypal “Item Not Received” case against me pretending that these transactions were for 2 separate items and that the tracking info (to her address) is different from the one in the friend’s Paypal (different zip code for example)? 2. If I received the payment as Family and Friends, would the Paypal account holder be able to file an “unauthorized transaction” case saying he wasn’t the one who had paid for it? 3. Would the conversation between me and the girl be served as proof for any of the cases above? I would truly appreciate if you could tell me what I should do in this situation.
