I've been selling a lot of stuff on eBay lately, and while all my other transactions have gone smoothly, I've been having issues with one order.
According to eBay, the buyer never completed the checkout process and this order is listed as "awaiting payment." However, Buyer marked the sale as "Payment Sent" almost two weeks ago. They claim they paid via PayPal (which is all I accept), but after looking at my PayPal account, there are absolutely no transactions from this person, nothing from the day they say they paid, and no amount paid by any one person in the amount equaling their total.
Folks from the eBay discussion boards have been helping me figure stuff out too. I made sure there wasn't an error on my end, like an incorrect email address. Everything's fine from my perspective. I've been talking to the seller to see if they can provide me with some info (like the transaction ID number of their alleged payment), and I'm waiting on PayPal to contact me to see if they're withholding any funds.
I know some people pay directly with PayPal and they don't go through eBay and choose PayPal as their payment method there. But then it would still show up in my list of transactions regardless. And since sellers can no longer ding buyers with negative feedback, I have no idea if they've done this to anyone else.
Methinks this person just marked the order as "Payment Sent" in hopes that I would ship it without checking if I actually got the payment first. Yeah, nice try, but you don't get your order for free, assbag.
