I have had paypal kindly tell me they are holding my money although I have been selling fine with no bad feedback etc etc etc...

This money belongs to ME..!!!!! I sold an item that belongs to ME!!!!!!

I have to wait for a buyer to leave feedback?? Many buyers are too lazy to leave feedback, even if you go out your way to offer them a good service!

I can understand (like at first registering) holding your cash, but after I've sold over 30 items and, payed fees (sometimes quite big to EBAY and paypal) even before I am invoiced..??!!

This is some scam of some sort for paypal to earn money from OUR money I'm quite sure!!!

WHAT A JOKE..!!!!

Surely them holding OUR money should be in some way illegal..??????

Same thing always happens to me, even after positive feedback is left they are still holding my money. I have been waiting nearly a month now and no sign of progress. No way to contact them either.

This happened to me some timme ago, I called paypal and went through each item that they were holding payment for. He released each one as we went through, the payments appeared on the screen while we were on the phone. It was though quite bizarre and unfair how they hadn't just done that anyway.  I had been wairing a while and just like others beacme cross at the thought of paypal keeping my money while I nolonger owned or had in my posssesion my items!!!!!:

did they give you any reason for this, they started keeping my monies for 21hrs before payment, saying it was security, there was never a security problem so they paid now there saying 21 days, i cant weigh this up at all, and if your posting a few items the it can cost quite a bit, that you yourself have to be out of pocket. i know i keep going on but its so frustrating
