e-bay/paypal question

Huggyface

This morning I paid for 2 items I won on e-bay from 2 different sellers using paypal. I've often paid for several items from different sellers together without issue. I just noticed that one of the paypal payments is "unclaimed" and my paypal account is showing the seller as "unregistered." I've never had this happen to me before on any paypal purchases. The item cost less than $20. I thought in order to sell on e-bay you had to be registered with paypal. Tim

He may have a merchant account and accepts credit cards?

One need not accept PP, only some form of electronic payment.

I'd email him through ebay and see what's up.

The e-mail address he has specified in the item listing details in the field marked, "Address to which payment should be sent" is not (or was and is no longer) his registered PayPal address. There are a number of reasons this could be the case.

You should be able to cancel the payment under these circumstances by signing into your PayPal account directly at paypal.com.

Then contact the seller and find out what's going on.

This should not affect the payment for the other item at all.

Looks like he accepted the money last night, thank for the help. In all of my years on e-bay I had never seen that happen before.
