Yeah, that's starting to sound bad. At least you still have the cel.
The only thing I can think of is that he made a typo when he entered your email address. If that happened, it would probably go to an account that doesn't exist. Paypal would then hang on to the money for a while until they could clear it up. I have had this problem happen to me twice (both beta members).
Once I copied and pasted the email wrong. I realized the problem after a couple of days because the transaction was marked in my account as not having been accepted by the other party. I rechecked and sure enough I had missed the first letter of the other person's email. Fortunately, the amount of money involved was small so I was able to send more money and not have to wait for Paypal to refund it back to me.
I have also had this happen the other way around. She sent me the money but I never got it. I assumed she no longer wanted the cel and put it up in my gallery. It took about a month for us to realize what had happened.--
Still, Paypal still had a transaction record on the sender's account (not the receiver's) and they never asked me for any type of bank account information. That definitely seems very off.
I need a little help

You know what you do when you assume!
The Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

The only transfer limit that exists is when you're not verified. If he has a bank account he can remedy that easily. I think we all know what kind of transfer he wanted to initiate with your bank account info.Sparta101 wrote: He said it was my paypal account that was at fault or that my address does not exist? pluss something about only being able to send $730 through his paypal at a time and not being able to change it. Pluss the transaction number is not found. He also wanted my bank details and my full name and address as he wanted to do a transfer not that I would ever give that info to anyone.

Maybe the limit isn't on paypal but on his credit card. Many credit cards, at least on Spain have low limits for security reasons.Killua wrote:The only transfer limit that exists is when you're not verified.

For example, i myself have set a somehow low limit on my credit card with my bank on pourpouse as an added security measure just in case it is stolen. When i have to send a large amount of money using my credit card i first send the amount i have on the limit, the i go to my bank's webpage and manually cover the amount with money of my bank account. Then i can again send more money with the credit card. All this can be made within a few minutes but means you have to send the payment in 2 or more parts.
Anyway, the fact that the transaction number doesn't exist is a big red flag in itself.
