I won a phone today on ebay, total was $290.
I paid the seller using paypal a few minutes after the auction closed, and just now, about 4 hours later he refunded my payment.
He says:
"im having a PROBLEM with my paypal account so i am issuing you a refund if there is another way you can pay for the phone i will only charge 200 since this was my fault let me know at ******@yahoo.com. again sorry"
I wrote back:
"What is the problem? I would really prefer to use PayPal with ebay because of the protection they give.
Is it because I used a credit card on paypal? If that is the problem I can pay you using paypal with an instant transfer(it will go through even if you only have a personal paypal account)
Let me know. "
Do you think I am ever going to get my phone?
Cliffs:
-Won phone on ebay and paid with paypal
-seller refunds payment and says he has a problem with his PP account - offers a large discount if I pay him another way
-Is he trying to scam me?
