I've sent money by PayPal many times, and received a few payments though it's been a few years since I sold anything. Somebody just tried to send me payment for my KoAloha concert and when I logged into PayPal my account is showing the payment as pending, then released, then reversed, all apparently within the space of a few minutes, and the message says "Don't ship the item. We've completed the Payment Review and canceled the payment because it may not have been authorized by the PayPal account holder."
Has anybody seen this before - it looks like it is some automatic check that PayPal made - but what were they checking? The only thing I can think that might be a little strange is that the payment was sent to one of my PayPal secondary addresses instead of the primary - but that's because the primary is an old address that I haven't been able to change since that ISP account was closed long ago. The payment showed up in my account, however briefly, so obviously it had a valid destination - what gives?
Is there something that I need to set on my account to say, "hey, it's okay to recieve large payments?"
