I'm with Atomic...sounds like your would-be buyer has something weird going on at their end...not much you can do. :(

I'd ask paypal what's up - could be the payment was made with a credit card that's not their own... could just be the parents and all that, but..

Done and done, gonna check email now, see if they sortedit out, looks very much like they just threw a dart at random, paypal suck.

ed- my paypal suck comment stands, they reversed the transaction, bloody good job im smart enough not to send any items before the funds have cleared.

Ahhh paypal......

How many problems i have had with them!

First of all, I had a buyer who did the whole "I didnt receive anything" routine....Paypal wouldnt even do shit, even though i had tracking numbers to prove i sent the item.... finally i went to the financial ombudsman service, where they thankfully got one of the major people at Paypal to review the case and close it.

Recently (like 2-3 days ago), They have frozen £170 and some change, plus whatever I make on ebay selling my 6mp Porsche Camera.....

AND GUESS WHAT THE EFFIN REASON WAS??

They have apparently linked my account to someone else's account which has a negative balance, so they are looking to "recover" the funds from my account.

Now correct me if i am wrong, but isnt that illegal??

This is the email i sent them:

Hi,

May I congratulate the Paypal team on doing the utmost to make sure my account is not being used fraudulently.

Sorry to note that I am being sarcastic, because emails do not allow the tone of voice.

These so called "Accounts" are not mine, have never been mine, I have never signed upto them, or accessed them.

Therefore I have followed your guidelines by submitting my financial information.

Therefore, you are limiting my account because you believe I am someone, even though I have provided Proof of Identification. All banks in the U.K require two forms of viable photo Identification upon creating a account, therefore it is highly impropable that a account can be created under a false name.

I am requesting you review the information immediately, and remove the limitation immediately.

If you do however wish to remove the funds illegally from within my Paypal account and/or bank account, feel free to do so, but there are certain conditions. I will contact my legal adviser should you remove even a single penny.

Thank You

I do a lot of business on paypal, and have to say I'm hapy they are so protective. I get probably 60 fraudulent "paypal" emails a week. They are a**holes because they have to be.

They dont "have" to be, their just retarded, i know many other online paypal alternatives, all of which never have even a quarter of the problems paypal do, and they are equally as big as paypal, if not moreso.

except if you do business on eBay you pretty well HAVE to use Paypal.

may suck, but that's the truth of it.
