Hey, yeah I have a big problem. I'm a digital artist, so I take commissions which are paid through PayPal. I recently completed a piece for 20$ and the payment went to 'on hold'. That was okay. I finished the piece and set the delivery to 'delivered'. The client responded to the email, and I got a notification that I'd receive money 7 days after verification. Well it's been 8 days and it's still not unlocked. I need this money to pay someone for a job. I've done what PayPal asked, by delivering it (digitally, of course) and having the client rate it as perfect, so why can't I access it? I'm loosing patience and I'm very close to moving away from PayPal with its stupid tax fees and pending payments
This is actually borderline criminal activity. We in the US continue to accept unbeleivably poor customer service and business practices from large companies like PAYPAL because they think we have no options. Well I do. No more Paypal invoicing for my business. I'll go with Quickbooks or some other merchant services like Square. I use PP as a merchant service to offer my customers a way to pay electronically. This has nothing to do with EBAY. Customer pays large invoice online and they hold 80% of my money for up to 21 days. If my bank did that I would drop them like a lead balloon and call the authorities.
