Paypal Account with negative balance

Hello.

 

I recently decided to stop selling on eBay due to constant problems with Mexican postal service. Shipments were delayed a lot to be delivered and a lot parcels were lost, so I started to received a lot of claims and eBay cases.

 

That situation occasioned that my Paypal account went to negative balance.

 

Now I received a new claim on eBay (another lost parcel). I tried to add funds to my paypal account with negative balance of $ 26.16 using my credit card, and I see that paypal took about $ 25.24 dollars from it (this is the amount of payment I want to refund), however I still can't refund the payment, on eBay I still see the case open.

 

My negative balance is now $ 0.92 , what happened to the rest of my negative balance ?? I would be charged twice for this refund or what?, because paypal already took $ 25.24 and the buyer is still waiting for $ 25.24.

 

On paypal the payment is no longer "on held", but the eBay case is still open. I don't understand well the purpose of adding funds to solve negative balance on Paypal, if you can't use these funds to make refunds.

 

Due to I can't make the refund, eBay is going to close the case and I will be charged again $ 25.24 , increasing my negative balance on paypal again.

 

I need some advice please.

Paypal Account with negative balance

You will probably get more help by calling PayPal.  However, I would probably deposit some funds in your PayPal account to cover this and any other efficiency that you think might arise.  Unfortunately, any outstanding orders may result in claims too.

Don't forget that PayPal no longer refunds the original fee, so you have to have the amount of the refund PLUS the amount of the fee available in you account.

You need to deposit enough funds to get your account out of the hole and to cover the refund plus any fee's.

 

 

 

Have a great day.
