RE: Paying problems at eBay. (A follow up question)
Just got a mail from the seller. He has agreed to withdraw the deal. I'm right now sending a thanks message. Now I feel a bit bad about it. He may be a reasonable man who just has been unlucky with his transactions. Never the less. So it looks like a happy ending at this "never ending story". I've even got a new deal sealed, another lens. A bit pricier, but safer (read newer) and better lens.

Re: Paying problems at eBay.
The paypal site (login first) should give you an option "add funds". It probably lists a local norwegian back account where you should transfer the money (don't forget to include the special numbers they supply you. Once the money is transferred (one or more days) you should see your money in your paypal account as funds. After that you can pay the seller using your funds (and not your credit card). It works for me, no idea if paypal is offering this service to Norway. Toine On 3/13/06, Tim Øsleby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm very new to this.

Re: Paying problems at eBay.
Ebay bought Paypal a while back - isn't that right? It sounds like the seller owe money to ebay (listing fees etc. ?) So, ebay/Paypal is blocking the seller?? (why do ebay let him list things in the first place...?) If the auction said Paypal is OK, I'd tell the seller to forget the whole thing! You will probably find a better seller/lens shortly, anyway :-) Hopefully you won't get negative feed back for this.

Paying problems at eBay.
As some of you might know, I just won an eBay auction. A Tamron 200-500/6,9. When trying to pay the invoice by PayPal, something odd happenes. I am directed to a "Transaction Cancelled" page telling me "This seller cannot currently receive payments." When noting the seller, I get a message in rather broken english telling me "what happened is that im sign with ebay so you have to pay ebay. I had little problem wint pay pal". I retry paying via the PayPal link in the invoice. Same result. After a bit back and forth, the seller sends this message " im the guy from ebay i've sent ebay a message about the payment problem and they will send you or me a message telling us about whats going on ok." Waiting for a mail from eBay does not sound like a speedy solution. Is it likely it will solve anything at all? The seller is in US, and responds very slowly on mails.
