My infolinks payment got reversed today and i do not know is infolinks offer the pay by cheque method.

The mail i got from paypal :

Hello name,

Your payment of  $$$ has been sent back to the sender of the payment.

We reversed this payment because we have stopped allowing personal payments to be sent to or from India.

If this was a payment for a purchase of goods or services, and not a personal payment, then you may contact the buyer and have him or her resend the payment as follows:  (a) click the Send Money tab, (b) select “Goods,” and (c) provide a shipping address.

If this payment was a personal payment such as a gift, then we have requested that the sender find another payment method until we restore personal payments to and from India.

We are trying to resolve this issue as quickly as possible and we’re sorry for any inconvenience.

Thank you,
PayPal

In order to get the reversed transaction amount back to your Paypal account, you need to contact the sender again and request him/them to issue the payment again by following the below steps :

* Click the Send Money tab
