Today, somebody '"sniped" one of my items few seconds before it was ending, it was a BIN only!!!   Then I get a message that it will be "cash on pick up" from her PO in Cessnock!?  I am in Melbourne and do not offer COD.  She has 60 FB, and bought stuff from the USA ...................  Cat Frustrated

 

And now the same question, slightly rephrased, posted 2x, just few minutes apart;  "does it really look like the photo"

 

I wish there was a possibility to cancel transaction at this stage.

 

Just a whinge ...........  LOL

I've sold a couple of things this afternoon and am still waint on PP notification..  Usually they come through together, the ebay and PP emails.  Occasionally there is a delay.  Usually when they are working on the site.

Sometimes the paypal emails don't ever turn up.  I'd rely on what's showing in your paypal account, and if it doesn't show as a CLEARED payment I wouldn't post.  With e-cheques you usually get a message saying not to post until they've notified you that they've cleared, and they usually take around a week or so.

 

I'd be conveniently not home this afternoon.  That gives you time to think and takes a lot of pressure off when this sort of thing happens!  If you sent an invoice early on and they know you're home, then you obviously had some sort of emergency that had to be attended to straight away.  Smiley Wink

Could you cancel on the grounds that she is requesting a postal service that you do not offer?

Or wait for payment that will not arrive and then open a dispute?

I was just about to suggest the same thing. 🙂

In the past 1/2 hour she messaged me about 1/2 dozen times.  Her last 3 messages say that she paid and when am I going to post the parcel.  I do not have a mesage from PP confirming the payment; when I logged in it does show that she paid $250, but my balance is only $37?   Now I am getting really worried.

It sounds as though she is not fit to be let out alone.   She seems to have her sellers mixed up.

No, in the sold items it looks as if it is paid, but still no email telling me I have received a payment and to post the item.  ????
And she keeps messaging me, this was her last message:

"Have you received my payment? Yes, according to our records, the seller received your payment on 26 Aug, 2014. this is what I get when I go to payments and checkout "

 

She only bought it about 2pm today (coupl of hours ago); I do not know how long it normally takes for PP messages to come through.  Usually, I find the "your item sold" and "you have a payment" at the same time.

 

Maybe I should call PP.  I really do have other things to do this afternoon.   grrrrrrrrr

Sometimes the PayPal email doesn't come through for a couple of hours. Sometimes they are through before the eBay email.

Thanks, 🙂  hopefully it is just a PP hick up. 

It had to happen to transaction with a weird person  LOL

I also noticed that the account has been dormant for over a year.  I felt presured, she is trying to get me post the item immediately.
