so I had a buyer as me if I would combine shipping, I said yes.
He said ebay was making him pay for everything at time of purchase so I advised him to add items to cart
buy them and I would refund shipping overage. He did that, I get paypal notification, refunded partial shipping, he tells me the cards still show in his cart and wanted to make sure I received payment. The cards do not show in my sold orders page and when I click on the link thru the payment email it shows the active listing??? what the heck is going on???

Maybe he paid you direct through paypal and not via a purchase on ebay
No, it was a legit Ebay/ paypal transaction, ebay said it was a glitch, had me refund the buyer and advised him to complete the transaction again. Initially Ebay basically accused me of attempting an offsite transaction, had me initiate a 3 way call with Paypal in which Paypal confirmed this was a legit transaction and basically handed the Ebay rep her ass for insinuating I was trying to do something shady, with me on the call. I couldn't believe the ebay rep was asking the Paypal lady if it was an offsite transaction with me on the call.
Same happened to me last night except I was a buyer. Won an auction and paid immediately. I even got the successfully paid page on the app. But it took almost 40 minutes for the "pay now" notification to clear off and to receive all the email receipts.
I got accused of that as well. I guess ebay is doing all they can to increase fees and figure they need to accuse innocent people. Meanwhile, I have tracked a guy on ebay right now that has shilled almost 200 auctions last month and they havent done a thing
