    And is any money in my PayPal account? No? Exactly. :money:

    That's because this whole story is lies

    You don't have to type your own e-mail for each listing.

    On the contrary, hermum in post 143 states that sometimes, you do. :money:

    Seeing as I simply clicked "reply" to the email she sent me, almost certainly the email is correct. :money:

    I can see how you might have managed that without incident.

    Let me provide you with an analogy. If you put £1 into a vending machine, but the £1 comes straight back out, you have not "paid" £1, and the vending machine does not owe you a £1 drink.

    In exactly the same way, the buyer has paid a non-existent account, and has been refunded for that payment. The buyer has not paid anything, and the seller does not owe her an item she has not paid for.

    But this money didn't come straight back out, it took 30 days. 30 days when you could have been sorting the problem of your making out.
    As I said earlier I hope that ebay find in the buyers favour as she made payment to the account you asked her to pay into. It is not her fault that you couldn't type your own email address or take the steps suggested to you in order to rectify your c0ck up.

    What did you "suss out"? :money:

    That you have made this whole story up, because it doesn't add up.

    You are just an attention seeker.

    How do you know they have been refunded it they have not been in touch with you.

    There have been many replies in this thread informing me that after a payment goes unclaimed for 30 days, it is refunded. It makes sense - what other course of action is going to be taken? PayPal can't simply keep the money for themselves. :money:

    No you don't, unless you want the money to go to a different paypal account from your usual one. So as the OP has never stated this, then it is very unlikely.

    Perhaps I was changing my primary email address, or something along those lines. It's not like it matters, the fact of the matter is that an incorrect email was entered.

    Erm, ok. Other members have already informed you of the fallacies in your "evidence", but think that if you want. :money:
