I wanted to see if anyone has had something happen like this before.

I bought a Mario widebody marquee last week, sent payment after the auction through eBay using paypal.

Well this week I get an email from paypal stating that the payment has not been claimed. Ok so I contact the seller twice, once for shipping before I got this email and then again asking about this payment being unclaimed.

He has 100% feedback with over 350 feedbacks. And he contacted me before when I emailed him asking if he would BIN because I really wanted the item.

So here's where I'm at....

I thought maybe he was effected by the hurricane, then I see that he is in WI.

What happens if someone dies or something? I mean I guess I'm fine as paypal is giving me the option to cancel still since it's unclaimed.

Just wondering if anyone has had someone die or something after buying an item from them.... Idk strange topic on KLOV what a surprise ;)
 
I've had an unclaimed payment before. It was for an Atari drink serving tray. I won it for $5. Seller didn't claim it for 30 days and Paypal automatically canceled and refunded. They said to contact the seller for an alternate method. I just let it go.
 
I know this is probably not it, but make sure you paypaled the right e-mail.
 
I'm in the middle of trying to buy some JAMMA fingerboards from Yaton and ran into the same thing... I even verified the email address matched what they said to use.

Sigh.

I guess I'll have to find yet another place to try to order those damn things in bulk from.
 
I've had this happen too...turns out he had an old PayPal acct linked to his profile, which had since changed. I eventually contacted the seller and resolved it. Try eBay Messages a few times, and if no response, cancel it through PayPal.
