This is horse **bleep**. A very **bleep**-like grab for people's money so Elon Musk can build more spaceships while us peons have to wait 3 weeks to get any money at all. Think about it folks, those 3 weeks worth of money can be accessed and used by Paypal however they want in that timeframe. Paypal gets instant access to funds that aren't theres (similar to a bank) and Paypal can use that capital however they please while you must wait 3 weeks to access the money that is rightfully yours. And if paypal says no to giving you to your money? Tough **bleep**. Paypal plays God again.
I Would have never ever ever ever ever used paypal if i had know there was NOW a 21 day hold on payment. It used to be so easy. Sell, get paid, that's it. That was the beauty of the ebay/paypal combo. Now it's like the IRS if you meet certain requirments we'll get your money after ALMOST A MONTH. By then though if your really needed the money from selling your goods - you are probably evicted, in debt, but hey Elon has a spaceship! That's all that matters, Elon's spaceship.
Now selling my items makes no sense at all. I need money by the 1st (not that paypal gives a **bleep**, Elon is flying around in spaceships living it up!) Now I won't have my money until the 21st of June. What a **bleep**ty **bleep**ing deal. Can anyone else in think in society where an exchange of goods for money between 2 concenting invidiuals is placed on hold for 3 **bleep**ING WEEKS? Escrow for a house maybe? Last time I checked selling something on ebay was not equivilant to selling a house. You need new engineers if you think that math add's up. However all blame can't be placed on Elon. Probably some **bleep** in corporate had the **bleep**ed up idea of holding everyone's money playing God. I can just picture the board meeting and their colleagues praising the said **bleep** without any consideration of sellers whatsoever. Sellers are your bread and butter, and I can only hope a real competitor pops up in the next few years against paypal. Unfortunately people are too dumb to realize this (even myself was dumb to think that paypal would have gotten better over the years) We keep giving paypal the benefit of the doubt, only to get **bleep** on 1 more time.
Back to craigslist for anything else I ever sell again. I only need 1 form of "seller protection" for that exchange and I'm sure you can figure out what that is.
