I received a payment through Paypal today for an item I’m selling. Turns out the item I’m selling won’t fit so want to refund him. I withdrew the money into my savings account immediately so don’t have a balance in my Paypal account, and if I go through the ‘refund’ links on PP, because the money is in my bank account they said it’ll take 5 to 7 days to refund, so I want to just send him the money. He isn’t answering emails at the moment so I just want to know, is the email address that shows on the payment details his Paypal address??

Sorry for the long winded question ,

Regards

stick to paypal so theres a record with ebay/paypal of the refund. If you refund by other means he can claim he hasn’t been reimbursed and paypal will suck the money back out of your bank.

I would stick to the paypal and just refund him via that. just keep the funds in your account.

I wouldn’t pay them back any other way as they may just turn around and say they never got the payment, and as you didnt go through paypal kind of stuck.

(correct me if im wrong of course)

This.
