So, this morning I turned on my computer to an email telling me I had received a Paypal payment!!!! Happy happy, joy joy, I thought until I opened the said email.
Much to my surprise, someone sent me a $40 payment for an item I am selling for $55 + shipping. Now, me thinks this a bit odd. I haven't discussed or negotiated the amount on this item and cannot figure out why someone would just send any old amount. But I thought I should share this new tactic with my fellow COTH sellers that there are strange people lurking on our site just sending doantions...... now I am sending those funds back but am taking out the paypal costs. Has anyone else ever had this happen? I will keep you posted on the saga. :lol: :lol: :lol:
I needed a good morning laugh anyway!

If you just refund the payment, Paypal doesn't take out any fees.

In your paypal account, open the details for the transaction and all the way at the bottom is a link to click to refund.
