SOO SICK OF WAITING FOREVER FOR MY FUNDS TO CLEAR

[Phillo]

Does anyone else feel this way? I add money to my pay pal account from my bank and it takes like a week to clear EVERYTIME. Not to mention they do it like a crappy gas station that only charges your account maybe...5 days AFTER you try to add funds... I swear if ebay didn force me to use this stupid site I woulda been so gone after the first time I tried to add funds, and forget about getting your questions answered here...... thier "help" link was created by glorified chimpanzees.

Try asking a question and you might get an answer.

Instead of traning to use bank transfers like alot jhas been doing and having alot of issues, try using a GreenDot Money pack card. Paypal here accepts them and you can use the card in the Add Funds area. When I do it the fund are always right there soon as I give the okay on the site page. I think this would be much much faster then there slow going bank transfer thing.

PAY-PAY  put a "hold" on my account & I have 100% positive feedback. I had bid & won some items. So in between my daily yelling at the space maggot on the phone trying to get my account off of hold. I also transferred money from my account to try to avoid negative feedback........ That was 5 days ago!! I've seen snails move faster & it is not there yet.

I am having the exact same issue.  I sold something on August 11th in ebay and the buyer has paid and left 100% positive feedback.  I have confirmed everything and check daily for my funds available. How long do you have to wait until your funds are available? This is ridiculous.

just add your creditcard to your paypal account. it solves the waiting porblem for funds to clear. that way instead of using your paypal funds you can just use your bank account funds from your creditcard. it works! i just recently found that out myself.

To answer all of you...

You need to be aware of the 21 day hold.   After you pay for an item, paypal can hold the paid funds in the sellers account for varoius reasons. 

The hold will be released to seller when:

The seller shows proof of delivery via delivery confirmation number; and/or buyer leaves feedback.

If both of these things have been completed then the funds should be released,if not the SELLER not the buyer needs to call paypal to release them.  Everything is automated therough paypal so sometimes you have to talk to a person to get speed things up. 

So if you paid your done unless you don't get your item.  Some sellers try and hold items utill payment is released, because they think that it is the buyer that is the cause of the hold.  But they find that it will only get their account suspend.

This is all well and good, however for those of us who are individuals with limited means and are selling belongings because we NEED the funds and not just because we can, this ties up much needed monies.  Not too mention that we may need the shipping portion to ship the items we sold.  I haven't sold much here and I do not think that I will in future unless I require payment through cashiers check/money order.  E-bay taking 9% of sale price plus listing fees added to Pay-pal's 2.9% =$.30, just isn't worth the time, trouble, and stress.

I am having the same problem, i can't get my seller paid. This is the last time i will use paypal and e-bay for that matter.
