I am looking for advice on the following situation. I recently engaged in a transaction where I paid for the item, and several days later received notice that the item had shipped. However, about 12 hrs later, I received notice that the transaction had been cancelled and my money refunded. A few hours later, I received a notice through Paypal from the seller that the item had shipped, they had made a mistake in cancelling the transaction, and wanted me to send the money again, this time directly through Paypal.
Of course, I am not sending any money until I receive the item, but I am uncomfortable with the situation since, in effect, the transaction is now happening outside of eBay. Any advice and suggestions about the situation would be appreciated. Thank you.
