Ebayers plz help!?

Question

Can you purchase something on ebay and then change your mind?

what happened is we bought somthing and the person said that she had the wrong email addres wit paypal and that we should email her the money so we canceled the payment and we thinks it is a scam so should we email the money or cancel the whole thing? if we do decide to cancel the whole thing how do we do so?

and if i report it what do i say?

this is what she said:

there has been a slight problem on my behalf ( and im so sorry) the wrong paypal e-mail address was put on the listing by accident (i guess u cant let kids do anything lol)

please cancel your first payment and then pay again using the correct PayPal email address which is **********@*******.com

but you will not be able to pay from the same listing directly though, in order for you to pay again to the correct email address, the you would need to either go to PayPal and

and click send money and choose to send it directly to my correct email

Answer 1

I would say: I am not comfortable with the change in payment instructions and I wish to cancel my bid.

Answer 2

Are you not seeing any of the answers you've already gotten from the previous times you've asked this question?

People have already given you some very good advice.

Answer 3

I have had sellers do that before... say that PayPal had the wrong email address.  Sometimes it happens because they are selling under their spouse's user name, but have a PayPal account in their own name.  It doesn't necessarily mean something shady is going on.

But if you cancel the payment and make another one, then it will be a few days before PayPal credits your account.  For those few days, you will have paid twice, then end up with a PayPal balance when they finally give you credit for that.

If you can't afford to do that, then just tell the seller that.

If they won't give your money back, call your credit card company and tell them you want to charge back that amount because the seller wasn't able to send you the merchandise.
