I had a weird Panjo moment last week.
I listed a pedal set and got a few PMs, the first of which ended up being the buyer. He agreed to pay outside of Panjo, would cover the Paypal fees and said he would send the payment in a little bit. Perfect, sounds good. We agreed that I would get his shipping info and name from his Paypal payment.
Then I receive a payment through Panjo which deducted their 9%. I assumed this was the buyer I had been discussing the parts with and got a little annoyed because now I wasn't getting the price I wanted. Whatever, I can deal with it this once.
Then I got a payment for the full price that had been agreed upon through Paypal. WTF is going on?
Turns out someone had randomly paid for the parts without discussing with me and had sent the money through Panjo. I got in touch with Panjo support and they said to just refund the money to them, and they would refund to the random buyer.
So the Panjo system allowed someone to pay for parts without ever getting in touch with the seller- like eBay I guess? The problem is, that's not how classifieds work on forums!
Needless to say the parts are on their way to the person I negotiated with. What a PITA!
