What a gong show!
So here's the back story, I have a good reputation on here and also had a good one over on ECF. I have piff'd many items here, always make quick payments....bought a mod from @DonBaldy yesterday and he had payment right away. My word is extremely important to me.
I bought an RDA from @516_vaper_li last Sunday and sent him money through PayPal right away. When he shipped to me on Monday he said that he hadn't received the funds yet because it was pending, but he wasn't worried because it said he'd have the funds by Thursday. My immediate thought was WTF I've never had a payment not go to someone right away so I went onto PayPal and realized that instead of choosing my credit card to send funds I had selected my bank account to transfer the funds, still don't see how this makes a difference because there's plenty of money in the account. Either way this was my oversight and a mistake I'll never make again, I felt really bad.
I logged into my bank account on Thursday to make sure I saw a PayPal transaction for him and noticed the money was taken from my account on the Tuesday so I figured great, no issues.
Imagine my surprise when I get and email this morning saying that he still hasn't received the funds. I call PayPal the moment they open and they tell me they're waiting on funds from the bank. I reply that the money has already been taken from my account last Tuesday as proven here - the $71 transaction
They tell me I have to contact my financial institution to find out why PayPal hasn't received the funds. I call the bank immediately, they tell me no, PayPal went into your account last week and took the funds, they have the money at this point.
I already feel like a POS for this guy waiting 7 days so I log into PayPal and pay him again directly from my credit card like I meant to the first time and told the bank to cancel the original transaction and get my money back. All I care about is getting him his money.
It's frustrating that PayPal would tell me to contact the bank when they already have the money!
Huge apology to @516_vaper_li, as soon as you notified me today I was all over it and even made a second payment to make things right.
