I’m selling a new screen I have for my iphone on ebay. It has sold and I waited two days then received a message from the buyer.

“Paypal does seem to be accepting your email for payment. Can you send me the add again and I will pay it directly from Paypal. Thanks”

So I sent him my email and the money has appeared in my paypal account (one pound short). It struck me as odd. Am I missing something?

Paypal costs money. I expect the fee was around £1. Look at the transaction details on paypal to find out. If he really has paid less, just reject the payment in paypal.

Cancel his bid and offer it to the next highest bidder – not worth the bloody hassle!
