PayPal question

[Batpig]

I'm doing a transaction with a member here and when choosing payment, chose f&f bank transfer (I wanted it to come out of my bank account rather than PayPal balance), however the seller contacted me and said it's showing as an echeck which he will have to pay fees on. Has anyone had this happen?

I verified that I have a linked valid cc as backup, which I've read can sometimes be the issue. The amount is relatively small, so I'm inclined to just reimburse him the few bucks in fees rather than dealing with PayPal support, however in the meantime we're both waiting for the transaction to clear. Very annoying.
