hi all

I just won an auction for a really expensive keyboard here:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320240643253

The seller is based in Belgium. He sent me a Paypal invoice which I paid
yet he said he hadn't received it. I checked on Paypal and the
transaction showed as "unclaimed" - it seemed his email address wasn't
recognised on Paypal at all. He's now sent me a different invoice
directly to my email address and on this one, it has a different email
address for him. Checking on Paypal, the address is recognised and it
all looks legit but I'm feeling a little cautious as this really is
rather a large sum of money I'm paying out for this item! Should I ask
him to get his email address corrected on Ebay and then send me another
invoice so that it's all being done under the Ebay umbrella...?

Hope that makes sense and someone can help...


Seems fine to me. The seller probably just had/has different email
addresses for Paypal and Ebay & is used to sending Paypal invoices to be
paid rather than have bidders pay so quickly before he has a chance to
send the invoice out.

You can specifiy a different email address for Paypal payments to go to
when listing but maybe he does not realise this.


Sorry just read that he did send you an invoice first - but the rest
probably still applies in that he probably forgot to change over his Ebay
email address to his Paypal one on the 1st invoice.
