Many of you will remember the mention I made of the fact that I won a chargeback on paypal when a buyer did a claim for fraudulent use of a credit card, it was a couple of months back. I was recredited with both the original with held payment and even the £7 administration charge after I persued paypal.
Today, several weeks later I have another email from paypal that says:
We are pleased to inform you that we have successfully disputed chargeback
case no.PP-xxx-xxx-xxx. The buyer's card issuer has decided in your favour
and within seven days you will receive reimbursement for £xxx GBP.
It is PayPal's standard practice to dispute wrongful chargebacks. One of
the benefits of using PayPal is that our team of chargeback specialists
will gather the necessary information from you and work with the credit
card company until the chargeback is resolved.
We appreciate your prompt response to our request for information about
this transaction.

All fine and dandy except that a further payment has now been paid into my account, which means I am in profit. :eek: No doubt I can expect the follow up email any moment now telling me it was all a mistake and that I need to repay the additional amount received.
I give up, I truly don't understand what is happening.
