So I won an eBay item and went to pay by paypal but I accidently used my old eBay bank acct (old in the ense that I don't use it now and there's no money in it - it is still open). I tried to use my CC which was my intention all along but eBay thinks I've paid already because of the mistake with acct.

I have sent the seller a message explaining what's happened and asking for their paypal email so I can pay for the item.

Is that the right way to go about it? Or should I do somehing else? I really want to sort it asap as I want the item to get here as quickly as poss. ( it's coming from the uk)
