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.

The audiogon checkout system seems to be giving some folks here grief by the sounds of it.
Now I am probably going to jinx myself here but every sales and purchase transaction I have made here always using the Agon checkout has gone perfectly.
Including using PayPal on some over $3k transactions.
And even using the Agon shipping services no hiccups.
I have both my PayPal and my direct bank card linked to my account and mix em up as to which I use but still never an issue.
Not sure what may be different on others accounts or is it just bad luck?
