Item paid, refund " blocked by paypal ", seller ask to cancel transaction

Hi, I recently bought an iPad for $660 on eBay. I'm in Canada and I really, really want it the most rapidly possible. So I bought it for a little more! The day after I bough it, I received an email to inform me that I got refunded for the item.... and that the funds were currently blocked by Paypal. And now, the seller asks me to cancel this transaction. Seriously I really don't like to buy for more than $200 on Internet, and I don't like what's happening right now. I sent $660 to this guy, and now my money is kinda frozen, and I won't get my iPad. In the item description, the seller said " IN-HAND, READY TO SHIP ". I trusted him. Now, what I want to know is: if I cancel this transaction, will I be avaible to put a negative feedback to this seller, or not? Because seriously, I'm very mad about this transaction, and I want to tell other buyer that even if you pay this guy, maybe you won't get your item and your funds will be blocked. I also want to be SURE that my funds will be unblocked and that I will get my money back soon. I was really hoping to get that iPad before it comes in Canada, and now because this wait for my money, I'll have to wait more, and even wait until it comes to Canada. So, seriously, it sucks, and I want to show him.|||He also didn't give a reason for the cancel.......... and he doesn't reply to my email!!!|||Did you fund this purchase with a credit card? When spending that large of an amount of money you should. I'd wait to receive the refund then mutually cancel the transaction if you want.================================================== Yes I do sell on ebay, this is my buying ID.||||||The block may be the 21 day hold Paypal does for new sellers and for high fraud categories like Ipods, Ipads,electronics. It means the seller can not take the funds until they prove delivery , you leave positie Feedback(DO NOT LEAVE POS FB) or the 21 days have expired. DO NOT agree to the cancelation, unless you have received your refund in hand. You need to respond to the cancealtion before 7 days are up or the seller auto gets their Ebay final value fee back. Ebay nor Paypal can force the seller to ship the item. It is very possible the seller does in fact not have the item to ship. If you want to make your payments via Paypal instant and via credit card, then when you go to pay for each item, you must change your funding source, each time you pay to a credit card. In order to do this, you must have NO money in your Paypal acct.||||||The block may be the 21 day hold Paypal does for new sellers and for high fraud categories like Ipods, Ipads,electronics. The hold would be released if the seller refunded the money properly. Refunding is the one thing that PayPal will allow you to do with held money.|||Paypal telling you that you are protected better by not using a credit card is not really true. You get more protection with a credit card through paypal. Credit card allows you to make a chargeback even if PayPal doesn't refund you properly.Even when I am telling a lie I am truthful. Rick|||I imagine they are waiting for the funds to clear your bank before paypal can finish the refund to you. The seller may have cancelled if you didn't have a confirmed address as they state they only ship to confirmed addresses."This must be Thursday, said Arthur to himself, sinking low over his beer, I never could get the hang of Thursdays."|||I wouldn't agree to mutually cancel the transaction. I would decline it. He's a non-performing seller. Always Unique Totally Interesting Sometimes Mysterious|||"but Paypal always say that I should pay with my bank account, because they offer more protection. " This is horse hockey pucks. Paypal does not want you to be able to do a chargeback as stated above. Ignore that and always fund the purchase with a credit card, especially now that Ebay is taking over the Buyer Protection||||||but Paypal always say that I should pay with my bank account, because they offer more protection. More protection for PayPal not for you. When you pay with a credit card, you hold the power to force a refund from PayPal even if they don't agree with you. With a bank transfer, if PayPal doesn't agree that you deserve a refund you don't get one. Always use your credit card. iPads are very high fraud items on eBay. Choose your sellers very very carefully. You want sellers that have established track records for selling electronics. Not some newbie. Personally, I would never buy one here.|||Your seller has nearly 1300 feedback with 100%. He states pmt. must be received within 3 days. If your pmt. has a hold on it he has a right to cancel the transaction as he may have to wait MORE than 5 days for your pmt. to clear~~5 business days from a US bank but may be longer from a Canada bank. Maybe he needs the $$ for some reason before your pmt. will clear?? You should have used the credit card and pmt. to him would have been immediate.. Did you pay right away or did you wait a few days to pay him?|||Also, pay pal isn't going to take a chance of giving you $660.00 when your pmt. MAY NOT clear your bank. Then THEY would be out $660.00. They will wait for your bank pmt. to clear before refunding your money back to you.
