I have had Audiogon-PayPal issues with my most recent two buying transactions and I have alerted Audiogon but I do not believe it is resolved. In my case, when I go through the transaction process on the Audiogon website it does not allow me to use my PayPal credit card as a funding source. Audiogon is the only PayPal vendor I use that this happens with. I am able to easily pay the seller through PayPal but only if I go outside of Audiogon to do so. Fortunately, I have not had the experience you have - where your PayPal account is charged twice.
Paypal issues through Audiogon
For the second time recently, I purchased an item on Audiogon. When I try to complete the transaction thru Paypal I keep getting the following message "this transaction cannot be completed please return to the participating website & try again". The last time this happened, I requested that the seller send me a money request via Paypal which he did. I no sooner paid his $1,350 request and Papal took an additional $1,350 from my bank account . It took me approximately 5 business days before they reimbursed my account . Has anyone else encountered this issue.? I would like to pay the seller of the record I purchased today but if I pay via his mailed payment request I think there is a chance the double payment issue may happen again.
