Well, since he paid through PayPal, as far as eBay and PayPal are concerned he did pay. They do not know this right now, (because he used a different account) but from past experience, if he were to call them up and show the proof of payment through the other PayPal account they will accept that.
If a seller ships to an unregistered PayPal address that is only the advantage to the buyer. It almost guarantees a buyer's success in a case. That's why you'll find that some sellers will not ship to unregistered addresses. If you don't receive the items, there's nothing to worry about. Simply go to the other PayPal account and file a claim through PayPal for item not received. Both PayPal and eBay claims are equally effective. If you didn't pay with a credit card, make sure to file a claim before 45 days are up. If you used a credit card, chargebacks will work 99% of the time.

He cannot file an INR because the payment wasn't made from his PayPal account. What is so difficult to understand about that? Edited to add: You can't pay for eBay purchases from a PayPal account that isn't yours. By your logic, if I am outbid on an item at the last second I can just send PayPal for the item anyway (although I didn't win) pretending to be the buyer? Yeah, I think I'll try that one and see how far I get. The payment has to come from the winning bidder's account. In the OP's case, all the seller has to say is that the payment from ther other person was for a totally different purchase and there is no proof otherwise.

Sounds like it may be time to cut your losses (ie. time wasted) and just ask for him to refund your money. These "grab bag" type auctions where you get a box of undisclosed stuff are usually ripoffs to begin with, so consider it a lesson learned. I'd stay away from these types of auctions, as you'll never get full value on your dollar.

Any form of payment will probably work. If he sent a check and photocopied it, they would consider that proof of payment. If he sent cash with tracking and signature confirmation, they would probably accept that too. Last edited by Brendan; 08-05-2011 at 12:58 PM.

Here's the situation. He lives in South Africa and bought the cards with HIS eBay account. The cards were paid for from his MOM's PayPal account (who also lives in South Africa). He asked the cards to be shipped to a Massachusetts address. He's screwed!
You cannot pay for an eBay transaction from a PayPal account that doesn't belong to you and be protected by eBay. You couldn't be more wrong on this.

He can file a PayPal case under that PayPal account! How could he be screwed? He can use that as proof of payment! How could he be screwed? Do you want me to call PayPal up and see what they say? The whole point of this thread is to help 1acid out. What 1acid needs to do is file a case under his mother's PayPal account. Unless an item is sent to that address, he will win the INR case. If for some reason he can't open up a case through his mother's PayPal account, he can go to plan B. That would calling up eBay and showing proof of payment through the other PayPal account. He would probably have to confirm some of the information on both accounts, so he would need to have that printed out/written down. So 1acid can A. Do what I just said B. Consider himself screwed and lose his money A great forum for these issues is aspkin.com/forums. It's mainly for people having eBay and PayPal issues (suspended accounts, selling limits, etc.). Most people there sell on eBay as their main job, so they know just about anything there is to know about PayPal and eBay. People over there would know exactly what to do.

His mom can file a PayPal case, but I really don't think she would win because she paid for an eBay purchase that wasn't hers.

Even if the seller claims that she bought tulips from him, if he doesn't send her anything there's no way you can lose. (unless PayPal suspects fraud on your part- e.g. she files a PayPal claim for every single payment) If he sends tulips, an important looking letter from your so called lawyer will usually scare someone enough to receive the cards overnight. In the Paypal world, buyer > seller. Unless the case is obvious, buyer/sender will almost always win. If for some reason the PayPal case doesn't work out, just file a chargeback with your credit card. This will be my last post here. Good luck on getting your money back.
