Real-life MMD: Missing Paypal payment - should I meet the deficit?

Not on ebay, but another site, I sold some baby clothes and gave the buyer my email address wrong! I was able to "make" that email address for myself (I'd given her a .com email address instead of .co.uk) and link it to my paypal account, and the money came through just fine.

If you can claim the money back then do so, and then pay what you owe. But really it is her problem that the wrong email address was there, not yours, so don't give her any more money if you have already paid.
