I just rec'd funds from a guy who has 51 Positive (zero neg) on ebay. The funds are not from a confirmed address and I don't have buyer protection (I had him send the funds to my nocc account by mistake). Would it be smart to refund his moeny and have him resend it to my other account or just go ahead with the transaction as is.

The guy seems like he's completely computer illiterate, but Im extremely cynical and paranoid.

ummmm... you do know that unless the money is in the actual paypal account, there's nothing paypal can do, right?
