U.S. Audio Mart is admitting they have a problem with Paypal. When buyers send Paypal through the USAM system, the Paypal payment is made, then almost immediately cancelled. USAM is suggesting sellers have their buyers send payment directly from the buyers Paypal account to the sellers, rather than going through the USAM system. Payments made thusly are NOT cancelled.
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.
