Paypal holding my money

I am so sick of paypal and ebay. As soon as I eventualy get paid for the items that they are iligaly holding my money for I will no longer be using them. I have been on Ebay selling and buying since 2009 and have over 350 transactions. Since 2 in the last year ( all i can call are idiot buyers ) left negitive feedback they are holding my funds, One of which left a positive reply in spanish but negitive review ? and the other demanded a box that was not listed in the auction anyway and which I sent him at my expense. I also have multiple transactions where no feedback was left..... How is this fair? No more I am done. Ebay and paypal are just setting sellers up to be scammed. I am no longer going to use their services and I bet I wont be the only one. LOL you can have your nice respected seller certificates back that you send me ebay..........

my hold has been on my account now for about 2 months now and have had clean track record the latest is that i had feedback on an item and over a week later still not released payment and am wondering why as as far as i know my feedback is 100% im getting fed up with waiting all the time and think im going to stop using ebay and paypal as i feel we pay through the nose for the services also have to wait to be paid when the payment has been  paid by buyer i also feel that paypal and ebay are robbing people of there hard earnt cash

Make sure you don't send the products being bought from you to you have the funds.  This is true for first order and any international order that seem a little fishier or just to good to be true. Listen to your jut in these mater you don't want to be ripe  off and loose on both sides of a deal. Good luck!!!!!!!

I am new to Ebay and Paypal so I only have a rating of 5, although it is at 100%. Paypal are holding on to my money (11 days now) even though I posted item within two hours of being paid by special delivery and the buyer gave me positive feedback when the item arrived the next day! If Paypal is to be believed I should have had access to said payment a week ago! As I am new I forgot to put tracking number online but the feedback is in and it's good, so why are they holding my payment? I am only following what Paypal have stated themselves!

When the 21days are up how do I provide the information that I personally delivered the item or that has been collected not posted.

i don't  know if  this 21 day hold stuff is legal or not but i do know it is morally wrong  as it comes across like a punisment to the seller  even when they have no complaints against them  this kind of action should only be taken with sellers who cuase problems  bottom line is pay-not -so-pal this is my money not yours  get your hands off

Hello

I transferred funds from my bank into my paypal account so i could continue buying but to my horror i find that you have put those funds into a holding account, HOW is this possible, as there is no disputes with any of my purchases/sales.

These funds should go direct into paypal, AND NOT ON HOLD.
