Paypal issues through Audiogon

For the second time recently, I purchased an item on Audiogon. When I try to complete the transaction thru Paypal I keep getting the following message "this transaction cannot be completed please return to the participating website & try again". The last time this happened, I requested that the seller send me a money request via Paypal which he did. I no sooner paid his $1,350 request and Papal took an additional $1,350 from my bank account . It took me approximately 5 business days before they reimbursed my account . Has anyone else encountered this issue.? I would like to pay the seller of the record I purchased today but if I pay via his mailed payment request I think there is a chance the double payment issue may happen again.

Recently, PayPal wouldn't let me use the credit card I have on file and use elsewhere with PP.  Only my bank balance, which was insufficient for the transaction.  Adding the credit card didn't work.

Called the seller, and we did it over the phone with my CC.  The unit is here and functioning, but now I have an item that I have "committed to buy" in my Audiogon cart that I can't delete.

Emailed Audiogon for proper resolution.  It shouldn't be this hard.

BTW, Audiogon has resolved my issue quickly and well.

Thanks, Audiogon!
