Changing payment after it has been sent using Global Shipping Program

[phoenix_ice08]

So basically, I bought an item and paid for it immediately. A few days later (after the payment was still unclaimed) the seller told me they were having problems with their old account, and would like me to cancel that payment and send it to their new account. So far so good - but once I tried just cancelling the one transaction, it ALSO cancelled the linked transaction paying Pitney Bowes Inc. for the global shipping.

I could go ahead and just send the payment to the sellers new PayPal account, but I don't know if the global shipping center would appreciate an item showing up at their door for which shipping hasn't been paid. I cannot 'pay though eBay' again, as eBay thinks the 'transaction is being processed through PayPal', and I can't seem to request an invoice either (it gives me an error, I am assuming because it thinks there is currently an on-going transaction, even though it has been cancelled).

Please advise,

Thanks

Well, I think this comes under "not my problem".

You paid to the address specified in the listing. Whatever problems the seller is having with that address is between her and Paypal. You paid. The item should have been shipped.

If you do not receive the item within 20 days, contact the seller (again) and ask for the service used and the Delivery Confirmation number.

If the answer is unsatisfactory, open an Item Not Recieved Dispute.

You paid.

The seller must ship.

KISS.

I agree that it isn't my problem, but in this case I think this is more of eBays problem. As per sellers request, I already cancelled the transaction, and have no problem sending the payment to their other account, but I don't know how eBay expects Pitney Bowes to be paid in this situation ... even though the transaction is cancelled eBay believes it's still 'processing' and there seems to be no way to resend the payment at all .... so what I'm worried is if I do pay for the item and it is shipped to the global distribution center, they wouldn't have been paid to actually ship this item.
