Unable to pay for an item that has been sent to me. HELP!!

I bought an inexpensive item just under a week ago.  I made an offer which was accepted and attempted to pay for it on the same day. Unfortunately, I received the error message 'One or more sellers can't accept payment right now'. In 14 years of ebaying I'd never ever seen this one before, so assumed it to be an ebay glitch. I messaged the seller and explained what had happened, I also checked out on here to see if anyone had come across the same problem, which they had. I took on board any suggestions that were made and contacted the seller again.

 

I always pay using my PayPal account and the listing stated it accepted PayPal and is based in the UK so I thought there wouldn't be a problem. I contacted the seller and he asked me if I wanted to pay using a Bankers Draft, which I declined.  I've tried several times to pay, contacted PayPal and Ebay twice to check if all was good at my end. No problems, no restrictions etc. The seller has tried his best to sort out all problems at his end and said that everything was fine now, but I'm still unable to pay. I've changed my payment method, still no luck.  The item arrived yesterday, even though I suggested he didn't send it until I'd paid.  I'm totally baffled as the item is still in my basket and eBay will be on my back to pay for it.  I'm totally stumped as to what to do next. I really feel bad about keeping something I've not paid for.  Any help would be most appreciated.

the problem is the sellers end, they have used a different email for payment on the listing form

 

 

they need to add the address they used to their paypal account

 

 

if they are unable to do that they need to send you an invoice through paypal

 

 

or just give you their paypal email address so that you can send them a payment directly
