Is there a way I can find my old post/threads?

BL still hasn't fixed when a payment is declined by PP but it still shows
as paid on BL.

I am tired of canceling orders, wasting time so people can pay again. One didn't
come back because they thought I was trying to scam them. I would like to show
them the link in here so they can see others have the same issue.

I've also had two orders arrive that I never paid for and the sellers didn't
notice either one. I think they assume it was an eCheck and they trusted me as
I was a return customer.
Thanks

Yes, it's frustrating, I agree.

I'm not sure if it would work with instant checkout too since I use manual
invoicing but no need of cancelling orders, simply void the transaction in PayPal,
set back the payment status to not yet paid and the order status to ready here
and the buyer should re-pay onsite. The payment will be completed eventually,
one of my buyers needed to take 3 attempts.

  
I've also had two orders arrive that I never paid for and the sellers didn't
notice either one. I think they assume it was an eCheck and they trusted me as
I was a return customer.
Thanks

I saw someone suggest voiding the transaction in Paypal. Then set the status
in Bricklink back to Ready and then edit the order and set it to "Not yet
Paid". Now you can send them an invoice and they can pay the same order again
without cancelling. I've had success with this.

But yeah it's not ideal for both the buyer and seller.

There is no option to void it in paypal. It only shows the amount, not even a
breakdown of the payment like regular transactions.
I know what causes it to happen. I guess it will get fixed after someone makes
1000 bogus orders on a Saturday
