    Simmed must be a troll. No-one gives anyone their email address on Ebay. Payments are automatically debited from a buyer to a seller without anyone needing to write their email address.

    Actually I'm looking at a customers details from a sale just made, and it has their e-mail address.

    And that makes it ok to ignore your poor innocent customer

    After the trade I messaged the customer, and got a reply a couple of weeks later, in which she chose to ignore my instructions. I have also texted the customer, which she has also ignored. Hope this helps :money:

    The advice given by soolin did not work, as the buyer failed to follow the advice given to her in the message I sent her, and has ignored the same instructions I sent days/weeks ago.

    That's because you don't even know if they have opened the e-mail, which is why you need to call them.

    If I didn't speak the language very well, and a seller e-mailed me asking for another payment after I had already paid, then I too would probably ignore the e-mail, thinking that it was a phishing e-mail.

    I have wondered this, too. I certainly can't remember typing in my PayPal email when I was listing the item, but alas, the email definitely had a typo in it. :j

    They did "open their email", as they replied. :p

    That's your fault for giving out the wrong info to them.

    Using that logic, if someone bought a car, and was sent to dealer X to pay, but was told they needed to go to dealer Y to pay, they should get a free car as they were given the "wrong" info. :D

    But they hadn't paid, your buyer had but you didn't claim the payment.

    I hardly think you are qualified to talk about logic and even less about morals TBH.
