Seller marked as paid, and now I can't.

lawrie28

Morning,

I bought an item and the seller has marked it as Payment Sent and dispatched the item to me.

I have not paid, but would like to.

I have changed the item to "Unpaid" but Ebay says that I have already checked out so won't let me pay.

Any ideas other than sending a payment direct through Paypal.

If I do send through paypal, am I still protected if the item does not turn up as I don't think they have sent it recorded.

Thanks,

TKPeters

If the seller, un-marks it as paid & resends the invoice you can checkout, otherwise the only option is to pay via Paypal [pay for eBay items] & it will be covered under normal buyer protection

This is the second time I have heard of this situation in a week. are you sure the seller has dispatched. Message seller and tell them to unmark as item paid and dispatched and see what he says.
He may want you to pay via paypal as a gift payment so as to avoid paypal fees.

I am pretty sure he has dispatched the item. He sent me a message saying he thought it was fraudulent and that we both might move out, before he told me the address he had sent it to, which was mine. I have asked him to umark as paid, and resend the invoice.

Thanks everyone.
