PP sure is protective they have been holding a payment from an auction winner since Thursday night. Of course they took their fee out. It was a payment for over 200.00 and we have been selling on ebay for almost 5 years. We have had 3 negative feedbacks the whole time. Not bad for five years. It was an honest mistake and we refunded them as soon as possible and right after we did they left a nasty negative. So now that we have 99.7% instead of 100% we are prone to money holds. They told us we had to move money into paypal in order to use the shipping even though our customer paid us in good faith the money to ship. I just do not see what makes that OK. Of course they also only give you 7 days to ship or just forget about being protected. I started cracking up at that point. Protected how do I protect myself from paypal when it is pay pal that will hold my payments, dip into my bank funds, charge my credit card, and take a fee for the service provided? Normally I do not even have to worry but my approval rating dropped 3/10 of a percent so I can see how I should be protected from myself.
It is about time, I will have enough money to gas up the car and drive to the South Bay for the San Jose gathering, when is that? I cannot wait!
17 hours later ...still holding
won the battle but lost the round
maybe I can spare change people at the plaza this morning, I'll make a sandwich board sign that reads
"victim of pay pal ebay item money hold, can you spare some change?"
i wonder if when it is payday at the pal they hold employee pay checks because they want to make sure workers do not quit their job during the weekend. This way it protects the employee by making sure they come back on Monday to get the pay check they wish they had all weekend.
Does anyone know a good way to protect the management level workers?
The execs are easy to protect the management hide all the spray paint and model glue from them and that way they can be real innovative about how to protect ebay sellers in new ways. It is a very complex cycle, you just cannot let the buyers hamster run backwards on the Habitrail wheel it creates a very powerful vacuum that might **bleep** all the money up so that it makes free trade non existing.
Unless you get a sweet deal on cases of model glue to drop ship. Does anyone know if that category is considered high risk?
