an ebay member opened a dispute on paypal against me because it took me too long to ship out the item, i sent the item ut yesterday but need to pay for something today yet i have this negative balance. does anyone know how to resolve this as paypal said they would refund me once the dispute is closed if i pay them now for it. when i try paying it off with the credit card it keeps telling me im entering the wrong amount when im not

my friend added his bank account to my account to make a purchase from ebay, but he never "confirmed" his account, he paid for the item, and it says it was paid through the bank account, how come it did this even though the bank was never confirmed


you should be asking paypal this question. secondly, your friend was a fool for putting his bank account info in your paypal account.

well i plan on removing it and im not going to screw him over so he is not really a fool

he made the purchase before he confirmed the bank account as neither of us knew he had to do so, he still has not confirmed it so im wondering will the funds come from his bank or my credit card?

Go into your dispute center and put in the confirmation number on the shipped item. Once PayPal sees that the item has arrived, they *should* close it and restore your balance.

Send a message to the person you bought the item from on ebay and explain why you haven't paid. They might be understanding. Hell, they might have had the same thing happen to them. In my experience, sellers will usually work with you if you're going to get them their money, even if it's a little delayed as long as the lines of communication are open.

Don't know anything about the confirmed/unconfirmed bank account issue.

you`ll have to pay the negative amount to get you back at zero and then you can pay for your items... Had this happen to me a few months back. Guys said that the item was not what he bought. After 45 days ... of this situation, he never replied back to paypal and i received my funds back...15 days after the previous 45 days while they investigated.

I think you have to use a bank account for it.

You have to restore your negative paypal balance with your bank account (this takes a few days), they don't allow you to do this with your credit card.

Do you have a friend that would pay for it for you? Or even have another credit card that you can open a new PayPal account and pay for it? PP does let you have two accounts - one personal and one premiere as far as I know.

Even if the item was delivered today nothing concerning PayPal is instantaneous........it will take a few days for them to release the funds. Sit back relax and don't stress about this any longer. By the time you transfer funds or open up another paypal account this will be resolved....
