Further to my previous post here is a revised time line with all facts included..
Buyer wants engine, cannot check out immediate payment
I end item and invoice seller for 2 payments of 37.50 as requested
Buyer sends £90 in 9 £10 payments
Funds show in my account, PayPal reccomend me to email buyer to confirm authenticity as there was no address on payment.
I send email which is immediatly replied to
I transfer funds to bank account
I post engine next morning
I receive email from PayPal later that day saying the transaction looks suspicious
Funds are frozen but have already landed in my bank account is I am left with a a negative balance
PayPal are waiting for buyer to confirm he authorised payments
Buyer claims he has, pp have no record, I phoned them twice
Buyer is unwilling to resolve by phone to paypal
PayPal state if the buyer does not respond I lose the money. ( seems crazy)
Thanks for all your emails, nice to know there are guys to ask for advice.
I know It's not the end of the world but as the cheeky git said I sent him a faulty item coz he could not start a new tight engine has made this particularly frustrating.
