Numpty - E-Bay & Paypal screw up - HELP!!
What have I done!!? Bloody numpty!
Sold some stuff on e-bay, sent the invoices, and realised after the event that the invoices have my WORK e-mail address for Paypal.
I am only set-up for Paypal on my Hotmail account.
I get an e-mail sent to my WORK inbox today, from a customer stating they have paid.
Where has the cash gone? Am I royally fooked or will they get a message from Paypal saying transaction failed (Then I can contact him and give the right e-mail address).
Any help appreciated
John

JPL-Why don't you just add your works email to your PayPal account?

You will need access to your works email from where you are now because PayPal will send you an email asking you to confirm the additional email address.
Go into your PayPal PROFILE then select email under ACCOUNT INFORMATION and then just follow the steps.

Just had someone do the same to me (but I am buyer). Did a cancel, and it apparently wont come back into my bank account for 7-9days. He wants me to pay by card as they have a PDQ - I'll wait till I have the first lot back I think...

You can add your work email after the payment has been sent - once you do it the money will go straight into your paypal account - a lot easier than waiting for the buyer to resend it !
