I won something on ebay from a seller who stated that they shipped worldwide, yet would only accept international money orders in british pounds sterling, no other currencies. Finally, after a few emails, she said she could accept US dollars cash sent registered mail.
The day I sent the money, she opens an unpaid item dispute on me on ebay. I emailed her asking why, when I had emailed her earlier that day stating that I had sent the payment, and she said not to worry.
The post office said it should take between 6-10 business days (ie not weekends) for the money to arrive to her; meanwhile, it's been a week and she still claims she hasn't received payment.
I don't know what to do at this point. There was no option on ebay's form that says 'I have already sent cash', so I had to state that I sent a money order, and when they asked for the number of the m.o., I made up a number b/c I didn't have a number.
Is this going to negatively affect my ebay account?
