So someone is returning something from eBay even though he got what my description says EXACTLY.

PayPal has locked my funds and as of now my account is -140 dollars, I don't want my checking account to get dinged when the refund goes out so I figure I'll list a bunch of stuff cheep and have the money by the middle of next week before the package is returned, WRONG. I can't even sell though ebay.

Does anyone know if I can take payments not from eBay during this time? Stated differently, could I sell cards here and still be able to receive money form Bench members???
 
I believe so if your account is -$140.00 and say you make a sale for $10.00 your account would be then -$130.00

What i don't like is PayPal technically refunded the buyer there money and thats why your account is -$140.00 your basically paying PayPal back and now you have to hope the item is returned..did the buyer mail back using a tracking number ? i would find out from the buyer..and i believe the buyer has to show proof they mailed your item back.
