Problem with PP

[river_daisy]

A couple of days ago I purchased a whipper snipper on Ebay.   Since the seller lives in the next suburb to me, I arrange with him to pick it up Tomorrow - the earliest convienent time for him- and pay cash.

Yesterday I purchased a top on line from Queensland and so I paid for it using PP.   Now I see PP have withdrawn both payments from my account.  I did not authorise the first payment.   Now the seller will be slugged with PP fees that he really shouldn't have to pay.  

Is this usual practice for PP, please?

The seller can login to PayPal and issue a refund and there will be no fees charged.

eBay is introducing the shopping cart on the Aus site and when you go to make a payment now it brings up all purchases that are still showing as unpaid. By default they are all selected for payment and you need to unselect them if you don't want a particular purchase included in the payment.
