Well, as far as I know google just displays what's on the net and that doesn't guarantee the correct spelling. I don't know why, but in the English-speaking world the name of the flower is more often than not wrongly spelled "fuschia". According to all my dictionaries, both English and others, the flower is called "fuchsia". The spelling on the cover of Sam Rivers' "Fuchsia Swing Song" is correct:

Talking about mis-spelling...

Happy birthday.

Those two sessions have never been released on CD (not counting the Mosaic), and the LPs are long OOP.

Well, the euro was on the rise again today after yesterday's 8-months low, though not by much.

Happy birthday.

If I did, I wouldn't tell anyone

It is.

Sorry for hijacking your thread, Flurin.

I don't quite understand - once a PayPal payment has been completed it can't be cancelled. A seller should never ship anything as long as the payment has not been completed. Once a payment has been completed the only thing a buyer can do if he has doubts is file a claim with PayPal and ask them for a refund. PayPal will then look into the matter and contact the seller; they will only grant the claim if it is founded according to their rules. ← that's what i presumed as well. i had a buyer cancel on me once but i had not yet sent the parcel so i got lucky. maybe the buyer had the original source of funds revoke the transaction from PayPal? i will get the skinny as to what PayPal claimed on this from the man himself in a bit as he is evidently out of his mind trying to head the fork off at the pass. ← as for my snafoo it was cancelled almost immediately as i had checked more than i would have normally. now as far as the guy with the bike fork: he received a mail yesterday saying he had cash. addressed from the payor and upon checking his payPal account he saw a balance reflecting that $500 payment. he went to the USPS and sent a $500 item with NO TRACKING NUMBER WTF!!!! just being thrifty. he then returned and transfered the funds to his regular bank account. then he received an email from PayPal stating that his transfer had ben reveresed and the he was the recipient of "unauthorized" funds. now he is out the $500 and the fork is on the way to some kid from Bulgaria's uncle in Illinois who will ship it to him after he get's it. Now! if he received a notice that he "got cash" from an actual PayPal isp and then sees that balance in his account I believe PayPal is culpable for the fact that he was on the up and up and shipped the item immediately. So, if I understand this correctly, the cancelled PayPal payment was made by someone other than the actual buyer of the item. Maybe that's the problem. Why doesn't the seller contact PayPal and ask them for (more) details and also tell them that he holds them responsible and file a claim? ← This is what I found on the PayPal site about cancelling payments by the buyer: Tracking Payments - Cancelling a Payment Q: Can I cancel a payment that I've already sent? A: You can cancel only unclaimed payments. If your payment is complete, please contact the recipient of the payment directly to request a refund. Unclaimed payments may be canceled for the following reasons: A payment sent to an email address that is not associated with a PayPal account. Once the email address is added to a PayPal account, the payment will be automatically credited to the balance of that account. A payment has been sent to a recipient with an unconfirmed email address. For security reasons, PayPal can only credit payments sent to a confirmed email address. If you cancel an Instant Transfer, PayPal cannot cancel the withdrawal from your bank account. The amount will be credited to your PayPal account balance. Here's How: Click the My Account tab. Click the History subtab. Click Cancel in the Action column of the transaction in question. Click Cancel Payment. You have successfully canceled the payment. (edit/my addition: the "cancel" option doesn't show up with claimed/confirmed payments)

Had the payment been completed yet? If yes, this is very strange. Didn't PayPal give a reason/explanation? Besides, it usually takes quite some time (days rather than hours) before the original source of funds will revoke the transaction.

I get these messages all the time. Don't click on ANY link, but report the message to spoof@eBay.com (PayPal is an eBay company nowadays) by forwarding it without a reply - i.e. don't type anything - and delete the message. The same goes for all those phoney eBay e-mails requesting that you update your account.

Earlier Jim birthday thread. Oh well, another happy birthday, Jim!
