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 use to buy/sell on Audiogon years ago but much has changed. For one, it irritates me that they don't allow you to accept payment except through Paypal -- not by cashier check which they use to. Okay but the major issue, when I try to set up Paypal method, it tells me they return error that Paypal cannot verify me, although I did get everything set up and linked to my bank in Paypal. So now (since they don't seem to have a phone # ) I have submitted a problem report to them. 
  If they don't resolve this in a timely manner I guess I'll have to do my selling through Ebay.
