Hi, buyer opened a case on ebay (not escalate to claim yet) and now my paypal account balance is -£33.00. I need to buy a prams raincover, but what to do with this balance? Do I need to repay it first?

Edit: I called paypal and been told I can't pay for anything until paypal balance is cleared. Ebay case is not resolved and can't be at this moment, buy money were already taken.

    Paypal are correct you cannot use yoru paypal account until you have cleared the 'supposed' negative balance. Obviously it does mean that if you do win a case and funds are released you will have loaded your paypal account and have ended up with a balance that you can then withdraw again.
