E-Bay Crisis!
An elderly and non computer literate friend of mine has had me making E-bay purchases for him from time to time using his debit card and I'm in a bit of a pickle.
My debit card/paypal account is the default, but I added his debit card and now it has become very confusing as I forgot to switch it back and now there doesn't seem to be a way of seeing which purchases came from MY card/Paypal acct and his card!!!
I phoned him today about it and he was very worried and accusative. What the F am I supposed to do?!!!
TIA For any advice, E-bay's "help" pages are preset and useless.

cancel both accounts and get a print out
and decide whose is whose
and expect to make a loss
oh oops I have spent someone elses money
and hahaha I cant work out what is what !
no wonder he is accusative
you will be lucky not to have allegations of fraud made against you that would be "making a false statement with intent to gain" ( s2 I think) - which you can avoid by offering full and complete restitution
sitting around agonising that you dont know what to do will just get you into further trouble - start paying now
this is potentially serious - hahahha and you can go down for it. start taking it serieously

I'm sure your friend will understand that you will remove his card from your account so he will need to make his own arrangements.
In the meantime print off a list of transactions, mark off the ones that are definitely yours and ask him to check he's happy and then pay him what you owe in . Then remove his.

Do as PP and others have suggested. Print off a list of all ebay transactions, decide which are yours and which are his, and then marry then up to your ban/card statements to see which you paid for. Them give him a list to check he agrees. If agreement can't be reached you may have to accept a loss or accept that he could accuse you of using his card for your purchases.
And remove his card from your account.
It's not an ebay problem so I wouldn't look there for help- it's for you two to sort out.
Good luck

Okay this should be easily enough sorted out.
1. Open your online banking / bank statements.
2. Open your Paypal account. Go to the 'Activity' Tab.
3. Make a complete list of items bought since his card was added to your account.
4. Open each transaction on your Paypal Activity tab separately. It will tell you what it was for, and most importantly what card paid for it.
5. Tick off whatever you've paid for yourself and work out if you owe him anything and pay him by BACS transfer so you have a ' paper trail'.
6. Remove his card from your account and tell him to buy his own stuff.
Hope this helps, if you need any further help navigating the paypal site let me know. x

Thanks again for your advice. I have done what Chris advised and only three purchases have through on his debit card totalling about £20 since he last came over to buy something about a month ago.
I can show him the details on my screen and let him watch when I remove his card details. So it seems not such a mess after all.
Case closed.
