    Default Another question about the classifieds....

    Twice today, I've been notified that a razor of mine has been purchased using the "Buy It Now" function. Then, not 2 minutes later, the same razor is purchased again by a different member in a different part of the world.

    This has never happened to me before. I'm concerned because that's twice in the same day where I've had to issue my sincerest of apologies along with a refund.

    Is it something I'm doing, a fluke, or something we can look into.

    Thanks for everyone's time (BTW, I'm not complaining, just curious as to how this is happening).

    Nate

    The razor is marked sold and the buy button removed, only after the transaction is completed in paypal. So it's possible for two people to complete a transaction within a short interval of each other.

    I think at this point the only way to avoid this is to not enable the buy button to your listings and arrange the purchase directly with the (one) buyer.
