weird ebay / paypal situation

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.

    Looking to buy/trade for any Holman Moody (NASCAR) related items you may have.

    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
