About 12 months ago, I had a beauty.
After winning some item, I had an email from the seller asking me to pay by paypal.
I paid immediately, but did not notice till a week later that the transacton had not completed.
I emailed seller to ask why my funds had not been accepted by her acount, and she informed me that she was having problems with paypal, so could I pay via bidpay.
It was late friday night, so I decided to pay next morning.
So Saturday midday I send payment via bidpay, and just as I have confirmed payment details I realise that I have paid the wrong amount by $1 less than it should have been.
I immediately emailed seller to inform her of my mistake, telling her that I would contact bidpay to enquire if I could change the amount.
About 30 seconds after I send this email, I get and email from the seller ripping into me about underpayment and messing about blah blah blah.
It was obvious that she had not yet read / received my email informing her of my mistake, and was firing off after receiving the bidpay confirmation.
I start to write an email back to her, when another arrived from her in my inbox...she had obviously just got my first mail, and was replying full of apologies....
I replied, telling her that it was she who had originally messed me about with the paypal transaction, otherwise payment would have been sorted by now.
I also told her it was midday in U.K. which meant it was 4 a.m. in U.S. and she should be in bed instead of sitting at her p.c. firing off abusive emails before getting the whole picture.
More apologies came my way, and transaction completed fine after this...
Ebay + paypal + bidpay + women.......it's a recipe for disaster..
