Bizarre - what appears to be double payment?!

rebeccauk

Hi All
Sold an item yesterday and buyer paid. On my paypal account overview it appears that the payment is listed twice and is attributed to the same person (and item) but two different addresses. Does anyone have a clue why this might have happened? Should I just contact the buyer and ask which address it is? They both say they are confirmed addresses and are about 30 miles away from each other :-(

Hi
I have had this happen when the buyer has been impatient and hit the button twice, making a double payment but never had different addresses.
My advice is be very careful there are far too many scams at the moment.
The latest I had was a payment was made into my account and then what appered to be an automatic email from paypal informing me of the payment and to click "here" to log on to see the payment details. It was a scam.
I never log onto paypal unless I open a new window and typr the address in and then log on.
Load of waffle for you there but I hope it helps

Thanks for the help. I'm treating with caution. I've opened paypal separately and checked the payment but it still appears there has been a double payment - not sure :-(
The first address is what looks like a home address for the buyer, the second address is the address of a school so I'm presuming the buyer works at this school (the item I have sold is a special needs toy so this would make sense)

Hi
I would ring the original buyer and ask them if they know of the other address?
