Sold an item on eBay, mis-spelt the email to pay to

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.0 -

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:0 -
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.0 -
