Don't be too quick to pay

[asteroidea]

Hi, I've had an occasion where I paid up immediately after the end of an auction, and had two payments taken from my PayPal account. The same thing has happened to other ebayers I've had contact with. It seems that there is some small delay in the system, which triggers this effect. So don't be too quick to pay. Wait for the invoice, then pay. Otherwise you'll be in the position where you have to contact the seller, and rely on his/her prompt response for a refund.

This only happened to me once, as a seller. When PayPal looked into it the buyer had clicked something twice or actually paid twice. Even the buyer came back and admitted what they had done.

Some sellers don't send invoices. We try to wherever possible but as 99% of our sales are Buy Now, we have never had a problem, nor the other way as a buyer.
