How to cancel Paypal e-cheque payment received

Giggidy

I recently sold an item to someone who paid via Paypal but I received the payment as a pending E-cheque payment, which I never had before. How do I cancel this so the person can pay immediately by bank transfer instead? I had a look on Paypal but it doesn't give me any option to cancel the transaction.

you can go into paypal and issue a refund, that option is there if you click on the order in paypal.

cancelling the transaction has to happen in ebay and is probably overkill in this situation

Has the buyer suggested paying by bank transfer? A seller suggesting bank transfers has all the signs of a scammer. It's great for you - no fees - but there is no protection for the buyer.

Send the buyer a message to let them know it has come as an echeque - most don't realise. Then take it from there. Hopefully they will cancel and pay again.

been thru this once (as a buyer) , for some reason PayPal decided on echeque , in my case it was a private buy via facebook for some motorcycle parts

I contacted my bank they cancelled the cheque , and I "think" I transferred correct amount to paypal account and repayed , paypal could not explain why it happened , as both bank account and debit card were linked to paypal
