So a while back I bought a Buy It Now item and paid immediately, went through all the screens to pay for the item through Paypal, thought I was all set.
I'm not the kind of person who checks ebay every day, so the next time I signed in was almost 6 days later and I noticed the item still said "Pay now". I was like "...huh. Well, maybe payment didn't go through or whatever." I checked my Paypal to make sure I hadn't been charged in the past week (I hadn't) and paid again. Everything went through fine, I got the item, all good.
Then just this week the same thing happened again. I bought an item earlier in the week and paid immediately, then signed today and saw that it was still waiting for payment! I checked my Paypal again, saw that I hadn't been charged for anything in the past few weeks, so I paid for the item and it seems fine. But how weird!
Has this happened to anyone else? Can the seller reject payment if they wanted to adjust the invoice or something, making me have to go through the process again? Or do you think I just missed a final confirmation step or something both times it happened?
The first time it happened I just thought it was a fluke, since everyone makes mistakes and I'm no exception lol. But now it's happened twice so I'm curious.
