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.

I've had a few sales through audiogon recently and the PayPal link has been fine Afrikaans (no complaints from buyers), but the shipping has not worked at all. I had to use paypal's and fedex's sites for the shipping.  I wasted a lot of time with audiogon's check out system  . . . Which could and should be very convenient but it doesn't work.
