I've been accused of taking money via Paypal!

Buyer just contacted me to ask why I'd taken £8 over the cost of the item from their paypal account :eek:

No clue what they're on about. I've just checked my account and the amount of the item only is in my account from the buyer.

I've told them to call Paypal and speak to them as i cannot take money from someone else's Paypal account.

Dare I say this person is TSFE...:D

    I think you dare say it..dont some people realise they send the money, you don't just open their aco!!!! and grab what you want.

    I was just reading a thread in the arms about poltergeist activity, you could always blame it on that!

  • I had two lots of payment taken from my account the other day and contacted paypal who informed me it was an error on their end starting on the 19th, my transaction was on the 22nd so obviously it must have gone unnoticed for a while. they are working on fixing the problem and will contact those affected with a refund.

    She bought on the 19th...a-ha!

    Thanks - I hope Paypal sort this quickly as this may reflect badly on us sellers if people don't understand how Paypal works, like my buyer.
