This pending balance rule is an absolute joke! I have sent items out bang on time, paid more for delivery to make sure the parcels get there in perfect order and what reward do it get? PayPal holding funds forever and a day. I now have 2 products out there that the buyers have confirmed have arrived and work with nothing to show for it. I might need this money to live on! PayPal don't know that. For me it is the biggest con I have ever come across. Pride themselves on "security". Load of nonesense that is, I've had money come out of my bank via PayPal transactions in the past which weren't authorised by me. Security is a massive smoke screen for these guys holding your money. As soon as the money arrives in my account it will be bye bye PayPal. Time wasters!
So after 4 phone calls this and PayPal agents telling me funds will be available After 3 days we are now entering day 4 with no funds still! Then I have to go through 72 hour withdrawal waiting time. So in all it will have been 11 days since selling the item before any money lands in my account.
We shall see. Been over 3 days. 4 PayPal agents said Thursday and the working day is now over. I will probably be back on the phone to PayPal tomorrow morning on the premium rate number costing me more money.
