Tim, you may be mistaken. Paypal does send
confirmation e-mails using the payees e-mail address,
not paypals. Second, if you did give him a new e-mail
address under which you do not have an account, the
money will sit there under the NEW email until you
claim it. I had this happen to me.
Go to paypal and add your new e-mail to your account.
Then money should appear.
This same thing happened to me and ZI thought I was
getting ripped off, too. But the money was there under
the non-account e-mail. If you follow the link on the
confirming e-mail, you will likely find it, but they
will ask you to open an account to get it since the
e-mail is not the one you are registered under.
I sold Adam springs and there was no problem.
Steve
p.s. blame paypal!
