I don't get it. If people agree to pay a certain way then paying a different unacceptable way doesn't count. They can negotiate to get the PP back and I wouldn't play hardball, but why would you accept it as the agreed payment when it is not?

I'm a buyer who have resorted to paying with PayPal (after negotiation with the seller) due to the sellers partially filling my offers with amounts below my bank's minimum SEPA transfer limit.

The same happened to me today  Angry

Fees of 0.55€ for a 10.40€ payment. Morons… I will need to change my bitmarket email address to one not known by paypal.

Yes - it is about bitmarket.eu and no - I don't have anything in seller message.  Maybe I'll add now that I don't accept PayPal.

I don't know - maybe it is just stupid - but I suspect that it is malicious.  Maybe it is people who did the withdraw trick before.  The more suspicious it is that one of them took a much above the market offer.

Are you talking about bitmarket.eu, or some other exchange? In case of bitmarket.eu - maybe you've put your paypal address in your "seller message" in Account section? Or maybe people are just sending the payments to the email address you use (which is plain stupid thing to do without asking you first).

I wonder if that happens to other sellers on bitmarket as well.  I've chosen only bank transfers as the accepted methods - but I've got already two PayPal transfers this night.  It got me suspicious - I don't know even how they found my PayPal account.
