Thanks--I would like nothing more than to be recuperating on a nice warm beach!

I have an account that barely makes any money after E BAY/PayPal fees and shipping, started in Novermber. I have a 100% rating that I work hard to keep and excellent feed back from buyers who like how I manage my little enterprise. PayPal has never held any funds until now and the amount  is less than totals in the account before. WHY ? HOW DO "THEY" GET AWAY WITH THIS? Who makes the decision to just suddenly withhold MY money from me? I think this is illegal and as I understand a new "policy". Maybe if everyone who has or had this happened to them were to call the "customer service" all on the same day to complain to Mr. Thompson(the co. pres.) they might think this is not a good "policy". I can't pay my bills or shipping because some CEO wants to play with my money. I plan on calling the 800 number as soon as they open on 2/17 today. If they get flooded with complains just maybe they will realise this is NOT how to treat customers. What do you think? Class action lawsuit anyone?

About Craig's List and eBay.  Tthere is no love lost between these two companies and they are embroiled in a lawsuit right now as they each sued and counter sued one another.  eBay bought 28% share of Craig's List in 2004 and expected to have a director's seat on their board.  Craig's list issued more stock to the owners which diluted eBay's shares, eBay did not get a say on the Board of Directors  and now their is this law suit. 

Interesting that in this case eBay is playing the victim--now how ironic is that.   Naybe they should think about us as being victims of eBay's above the law attitude.

That is why on high price items I always ship with insurance.  If they are lying about receiving merchandise than they are responsible for mail fraud and you always get your money.  (Granted it does take some timeto get your money but it is better than nothing.  Yes ebay & paypal are expensive.  But  as seller's we can do somthing about it.  We need to pass these ricuculous fees on to the buyers.  Remember we keep feeding the BEAST.  The buyers are looking for deals.  If they don't find any because of the high fees that we are passing on to them, they won't use ebay.  List your item and inform buyers they will be responsible for paying for insurance, closing costs, and additional handling costs.  No one seller can do this alone.  Spread the word.

jazzy_girl  WAS THE BUYER

from Canada, bought a necklace from me on a best offer

11th MADE THE OFFER

12th SHE PAID

13th SHE filed non receipt and paypal held my money

14th paypal refunded her with out me getting to say a word, isnt there a time line?

THANK GOD I HAD NOT SENT HER ITEM, I THOUGHT I HAD ON THE 13TH (SAT.AM.) AS I HAD BEN HAVING DENTAL WORK DONE ALL WK, AND WAS CONFUSED DO TO PAIN AND PAIN MEDS!)

I THINK THIS IS A NEW SCAM? ANYONE HEARD OF IT?? HELP, I AM AFRAID OF THIS HAPPENING AGAIN!

so they say:::How it works

1. Check transaction details First you need to make sure the item is 'Eligible' for Seller Protection by checking your 'Transaction Details'. Log in to PayPal, go to your Account History and click on the 'Details' link next to the transaction.

2. Retain online tracking Retain online trackable proof of delivery, such as Royal Mail's Recorded Delivery. If you hand deliver an item or post it in any other way that cannot be tracked online, your transaction will not qualify for Seller Protection.

3. Post to buyer's address Post to the buyer's address provided in the 'Details' link in your account history.

4. Provide proof of signature For transactions with a value of £150 or more, you need to provide proof of signature from the recipient if the buyer claims that the item did not arrive.

5. Post within seven days Post the item within seven days of receiving payment.

6. Accept payments from a single PayPal account Only accept payments in full from a single PayPal account.

7. Respond within deadlines During a dispute process, please respond to all PayPal enquiries within the given deadlines, as disputes need to be resolved within a specific time frame.

I CANT BELEIVE THEY ARE GOING TO HOLD MY MONEY FOR 21 DAYS. THIS IS A CROCK OF BULL *&(% THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I SOLD ANYTHING ON EBAY AND IT WILL BE MY LAST. I ALSO WILL NOT BUY ANYTHING EVER AGAIN. I REALLY FEEL SORRY FOR THE SELLERS TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS. I DONT THINK THEY HAVE A LEGAL RIGHT TO JUST KEEP OUR MONEY ON HOLD. I WOULD NOT SURPRISE ME TO LEARN THAT FOR THE 21 DAYS THEY ARE HOLDING IT, THAT THEY AREN'T EARNING INTEREST ON IT. IT MIGHT BE ONLY A$100 FROM ME AND $100 FROM JOE BLOW, BUT PUT IT WITH ALL THE JOE BLOWS WHO USE EBAY AND PAYPAL, THAT COULD BE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS THEY COULD BE EARNING INTEREST ON.

I totally agree with your sentiments!  I went round and round with all the pricks at PayPal and E-Bay this week myself!  Customer Service is really a joke.  I did get my revenge though, I kept them on the phone for 8 hours straight giving them all the grief I could muster......and there was a whole lot mustered!  I even got hold of their legal counsel in California and had a long discussion with her.  She was very polite and listened for an extremely long time.  Her information is as follows:

1-402-935-5145 (Melody Fry, PayPal Legal Relations / Legal Support Specialist) 

I would certainly advise everyone to contact her directly and let her know how unhappy you are with PayPal.  If I can avoid it, I'll never deal with them again!

I have had it with ebay and PayPal. TOO MUCH FRAUD!

[lee_87]

How the **bleep** does PayPal expect us to ship our items to the customers when they hold ALL the funds, INCLUDING THOSE FUNDS DESIGNATED FOR SHIPPING?!

PAYPAL, STOP HOLDING MY MONEY FOR NO REASON.

YOU ALREADY CHARGED ME $6+ PER TRANSACTION.

This will be my last paypal transaction, from this point forward its a boycott for life.
