French Buyer Says They Are Being Blocked From Paying??

Hi

I sold some china and I have had a message from the buyer (who is in France) stating when she goes to pay via Paypal a message is coming up saying blocked. Her english is not the best and nor is my French so trying to sort out is very difficult. Any ideas why she is being blocked??

Im sure it is not a problem my end as ive had other payments but im not sure what to advice her to do??

Any ideas how we could resolve or what the problem may be??

Thanks

    Agree with this:

    Est-ce que vous pouvez me montrer un copie du message que Paypal vous avez envoye, de dire que quelquechose est bouch!?
    (Can you show me a copy of the message that Paypal sent you, to say that something is blocked)

    Est-ce que vous avez contacte Paypal pour demander ce qui passe?
    (Have you contacted Paypal to ask what's happened?)

    Vous devez payer dans 7 jours apres le fin de l'enchere.
    (You have to pay within 7 days after the end of the auction)


    My written french isn't the greatest, but near enough!
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    Just a thought, have you checked to see that your paypal id is correct on the listing? If you have entered it wrong then paypal wont take the payment.
