Great, less competition for the rest of us sellers that have been through the hold and understood that as it was for buyer protection we did not mind.

kernowlass...with an emphasis on the **bleep** part I **bleep**.ume....

 

Nice comment ...great that's just less competition for the rest who went through the hold and understood why...

 

we understand why but when all other criteria are met for immediate or even the 3 days and the funds are still not available...well...kerowlASS...THAT'S JUST NOT ACCEPTABLE NOR UNDERSTANDABLE ...IT'S F'N WRONG!!!!

Right? How are we supposed to ship the item if they are holding the shipping fees as well.

Don't worry!

 

When you FINALLY get the money that YOU EARNED for YOUR goods... Paypal will promptly put another delay on actually handing over the 'available' funds. Rest assured though, because it's a 'standard business practice.' Don't like it? Too bad. Don't use paypal then.

I completely agree with you. I’m having a small clearout of my room & I’m expected to pay P&P at my own expense (in some cases costing me more then the item selling price) and I need to wait for the payment to come through after the buyer receives it. The most ridiculous arrangement I have yet to experience!

I hate to say this but Ebay made a mistake on my account and owed me 900 dollars a few days ago and PayPal LIMITED my account they said forever with shipping numbers and everything they ask for I gave and sent to them and still limited my account so I refunded my 2 customers because I can't wait 180 days for my money they saying and now there keeping my money that came from Ebay not a customer at all so there is nothing to verify or anything , I would love to know how this could be done to anyone, my opinion is they can do whatever they choose because of power
