This had never happened to me in the past, I've always been more of a buyer than a seller but none the less never had negative feedback on any transaction. Due to recently losing my job and a sizeable income at the same time I decided selling some of my Fenton collection on ebay would make a positive impact on my lost income. Lo and behold, the very first item I sell on a buy it now, I'm notified that ebay/paypal is holding my funds. BS! I got so angry I pulled all my items off ebay and advised paypal to refund the money to the buyer, end of transaction, end of doing business with ebay. The buyer was very angry and accused me of cheating her, if I had kept her money and the item then I would have cheated her. If I had shipped the item and never gotten my money I would have been cheated. In my opinion the best thing to do was cancel all transactions. Sad because I needed the money and had some beautiful Fenton pieces up for sale for a lot less than they were worth, and quite a few watchers. I went online and found another auction site and am going to list my items there, ola.com. for $8.00 a month you can list up to 800 items a year with no additional charges unless you jazz things up, which I won't. It is not as well known as ebay but I have control, not ebay/paypal, which by the way, this policy is ebay's not paypals.
