Payment showing as completed and ok to send in paypal.
BUT
Egg timer showing on my ebay sold page. WHY?
Is the item safe to send out to the buyer or not?

I have just noticed that it also says this in paypal :
"PayPal has placed a temporary hold while we're reviewing it. We'll contact you shortly with further information"
what does this mean? reviewing what exactly? and am I safe to send it or should I wait? can the payment be reversed on me?

OK, just chatted to ebay live chat. and I am gobsmacked! the egg timer is only due to my paypal and ebay email addresses being different ( I hate getting lots of stupid emails from ebay every day that just fill my inbox (LOL!) so I check the ebay one online instead) but paypal comes into my 'home email' .
this is a quote of their reply, before the guy ended the chat and cut me off before I could reply! cheeky sod! :

Hmmm have noticed a few comments about this at the moment. i am also having a refund (from seller to me) temporary on hold... its my 10yr old grandsons xbox he bought with his birthday money. the seller is no longer registered. I cant get through to paypal as number isnt recognised. Never had this problem in the 11years I have been using ebay/paypal... I want to speak to paypal to find out how long the money is held for before being released as I obviously want to let my grandson know whats going on, bless him

yes, I read your problem first, have you tried the freephone ebay number? ebay should issue you with a refund but I think you need to chase it asap 0800 3586551. Good luck!
