Hey everyone, I appreciate any help and advice you can offer.
I just purchased a pre-owned bag (Balenciaga weekender) from a seller on ebay.fr. We agreed to 670 and I paid promptly.
When I used Google to do the conversion math, I thought I would be paying just over $900, however, Paypal charged me $924.67. I couldn't understand why. And then the seller let me know that she only received about 643. She sent what appeared to be a screen shot from her ebay/paypal account and asked for an additional 27 to cover the shipping.
Has anyone been in a similar situation before? I am not trying complicate my life or anyone else's and quite frankly almost asked her to cancel the transaction. I have had so many issues buying balenciaga weekenders over the last few months - lost bids, sellers wanted to complete transaction outside of paypal, another one told me she was robbed, then put the bag up for sale again and then when she couldn't get as high a price offered it to me, missed a bag by seconds on Ruelala... I almost believe that once a transaction gets stressful, its not worth it. But this is my holy grail and I'd like to do the right thing to get it but this situation stinks...already.
Again, please give me some advice. I truly need it. Thanks.
