Yaebr: yet another ebay rant

I sold a gift card on ebay 10 days ago and emailed the seller to which she responded immediately.

She:I will be paying by paypal.

Beth XXXXX


9 days, 5 emails, 3 paypal invoices later she emails me back (this is the first time she emailed after the first contact)

She again:Please let me know what day this was mailed.

Thank you.

Me:I am confused. I have not received the payment for the item. I have received
two mails from you dated 1/5/2004 in which you said that you will pay using
paypal.

Please email me asap
thanks

She again:I am also confused as to what happened, as I had the amount
deducted from my paypal account.

Beth XXXX

couple of emails later I send her an invoice including insurance.

She:There is no need for me to pay to have it insured.
Please take off the $1.30.

Thank you,

Me:alright.
i will send the invoice. please pay asap so i can ship it immediately.
thanks

She:I just checked my Pay Pal account to check out,
and the total amount has not been changed.
Just let me know when to expect the changed amount
to appear, and I will checkout.

then, i sent her the invoice without insurance. she paid with unconfirmed address.

Me: Sorry, i have clearly mentioned in my auction that i accept payments from a confirmed address only.

She:Not sure why the address to ship to did not come up, as my confirmed
address was listed as I finished the transaction with Pay Pay.
Here is the address that you need to send the item. XXX XXX

Me:Sorry. I am refunding the payment. But I clearly mentioned that I ship to 'paypal confirmed address' only. I cannot take the risk of shipping the item to an unconfirmed address. Please send the payment with a confirmed address so I can ship immediately.
Thank you

I refunded the payment.

She:I am wondering what you are wanting now from me.
I have been a paypal member with a confirmed address since
April, 2000, and this is the first time I have had any problems with
anyone shipping me the item won when paying through paypal.
I will be getting to the bottom of this, as I don't believe I am being treated
properly since I did win the item, wanted it to be paid for through
paypal, and now am being told "sorry".
