Just noticed that eBay checkout is ignoring any seller discounts when forwarding to PayPal for payment. Although the eBay invoice correctly lists the final total with the seller discount applied, when you go to pay via PayPal they try to bill you for the undiscounted amount.

I called PayPal and they confirmed it appears to be a problem in the eBay invoicing and checkout system.

Wonder how many unsuspecting people haven't paid attention and just clicked the confirm button when making payment?

PayPal spokesperson Jennifer Hakes responded to the article about this report: "As you reported, PayPal and eBay are aware of a problem where some eBay buyers are seeing an incorrect charge (the full amount of the item(s)) for some discounted items sold on eBay. We are working on a fix, but in the meantime please let your readers know that they are being charged the correct amount and it is reflected accurately in their account activity."
