Help me wrap my little blonde mind around this.
I paid for an auction via PP.
Seller emails and says he has no PP account.
I go into PP and the transaction is not pending but "completed".
Seller is not responding to my emails about his non-exsistent PP account & my payment through PP. I told him he'd had to refund my PP money before I could send a MO.
I can't get the money refunded through my end on PP. Or can I? I thought it would just say pending and I could cancel but it doesn't.

glassgrl,
If you want to know wheather or not someone else has a Paypal acct., go to your Paypal acct. and click on the SEND MONEY tab.
Enter the person's email and under Amount, put in something like 1.00. Under TYPE, I always use SERVICE. Leave Subject and Note blank. Click continue and you will find the user status on the next page. Just click cancel to void the 1.00 transaction.

his status is unconfirmed. I checked and rechecked his email address and it was all the same. his user # is 1

I was under the impression that you could send money to ANY email address, whether or not the recipient had an account with Paypal.
The guy may be telling the complete truth.
Paypal's reasoning behind this is simple. If you get an email about a pending payment, you will probably OPEN AN ACCOUNT to get to the money.
AT least that's the way it was last time I checked. They may have changed this since then.

Maybe he's like me. I used paypal as a buyer a couple of times with sellers who only accept paypal and paid with a credit card. But I never gave them any banking account information - so I thought I didn't have a paypal seller account. But somebody "paid" me through paypal. When I told them I didn't have a paypal account. They wrote back and said that paypal said I had to refund the money to them.
At the time I received the e-mail I really didn't know what was going on. I had to go into paypal and learn how to refund money - of course paypal tried to get me to give them bank account info so I could receive the money - but I did not do that.

If you send money to someone who doesn't have an acct.
It will remain unclaimed till they set up an acct. or you cancel it.
