HORRIBLE IDEA TO HOLD FUNDS FOR 21 DAYS!!!

  Holding funds from sellers until the buyer leaves feedback is the worst idea EVER! Since when does Paypal become an authority on buyer satisfaction?? A smooth transaction is all that I wanted from Paypal. If they are going to hold funds, then they should make it very clear BEFORE you use them!  Keeping my money in their account for 21 days is a HUGE disadvantage of using Paypal. Stick to transferring funds,not trying to be a satisfaction authority!

This is becoming a wildfire out of control.  We are 29 pages long now and with no end in sight.  I hope I have helped us all to come to understand what it really means to be American.  I hope, I have helped us all feel better in the crisis we face not just here but in our country as a whole right now.  If I have then here is some more for you to think about.

Did you know that only men could vote in this country until The League of Woman Voters was formed in the 1920's?  Did you know that Abraham Lincoln, gave the Black man the right to vote in 1865 before woman had rights?  Did you know that in the 1920's we had to make child and Women Labor rights, and from that came Labor Unions to protect all workers?  Think of what this says here, it says that big business has been getting away with murder in a FREE COUNTRY for 200 years.  Now they have crushed Labor Unions by calling them Socialist and Communist, when all they want is to have a better quality of life.  That makes people Socialist and Communist!  That is American as American can be not Socialist or Communist.

Why do we pay for Health-Care?  Why are our kids forced into debt with college tuition?  Look around at the world, most of the other countries treat Health-Care as a part of their National Security Plans.  Most of these same Countries treat College Education the same way.  Why are we shackled buy the raising costs of Healh-Care and College Tuition?  Ask yourself, doesn't it make sense for Americans to be healthy Americans?  What is the purpose of Medicine, Hospitals, Doctors, and Nurses, if they can look the other way simply because you don't have enough MONEY?  Where has the Code Of Medical Ethnics gone?  Look at education.  Doesn't it make sense for Americans to be smart?  Why are the best Colleges reserved mainly for the kids of families who can pay Money?   Why isn't education based on how smart you are and not how much money you have? 

The future of us all is found in these 2 issues.  If we didn't have to be shackled by Health-Care and Education, don't you think we would be better off as Americans?  We are losing are competitive edge in the world because the things we need most as Americans are being used to drain us of the wealth that we do earn.  And it's just so sad that when someone speaks about these issues in America, they are called Socialist or Communist!  Again, we use these evil Ideologies to stop the Health and Education of American's.  This is the same thing that happened to the Labor Unions in our Country.  What is a Liberal?  Someone who wants your kids to be healthy like theirs are with our tax dollars?  Someone who wants your kids to have a better Education like their kids do with our tax dollars?  If being a Liberal means you care about the People like your own family and yourself, what is wrong with that?  We have to quit listening to the big liars, and start looking for the good honest little guys in America that are being repressed because they refuse to conform with corrupt idea's!   We need to actually question everything someone says so we can find out if they are truly representing the hopes and dreams of all Americans.  We fought the Civil War in our country, to stop this type of abuse before.  It was a war to stop the Greedy from repressing us all with their enormous wealth.  It wasn't about Salvery as much as it was about stopping a group of powerful people from enslaving us all!  This is what the Civil War was about.  It's why the North won.  Can you imagine we killed our own people to keep our country on the path of Freedom for all.  Heroes died on both sides of the war.  My family alone killed each other. 

We are facing a New Frontier,  if we are to move into this frontier with hope it requires all Americans to be Healthier and smarter.  If not then the powerful will keep bringing people from other countries here to do what they say we wont do as Americans.  They will keep shipping our jobs out of the country.  They will keep calling, those brave enough to stand for Health-Care and Education as National Security Interest In America,  Socailist and Communist!   This sounds just like Hitler to me.  We are not branding Liberals here, we are killing the brave who stand for and love the people as their own so the corrupt can continue conducting business as usual in America.  Why do we keep looking the other way until it's too late?  Why do we remain silent until it's too late?  Wrong is wrong, this is what are Country was founded upon, what are forefathers stood against to make the Greatest Nation in the World, America. 

In this Epoch we face now, there is no time to be fooled anymore.  We must forge ahead on a Grand Scale and bring back to America the Hoinesty and integrity of small town Americans.  We must stop all the trash talking and think about what we want for the future of our kids.  The future of our country.  Health-Care and Education are National Security Interests in America, they are not Socialist and Communists Idea's!  They are the future of the direction of all Americans and we need to start thinking about the future now.

Just like we have allowed this mess here to spiral out of control in favor of Pay-Pal and Ebay, we are allowing the good to be corruptted by the powerful who want to shackle us all.  Sad, we have brought ourselves to this point by saying nothing as we watched it all happen around us.  It's time for Americans to feel good about themselves again.  Time for us to stand together in the face of every lie and deception, and demand truth, honor and integrity.  This is what our forefathers stood for when building this country.  This is who we are and what we are deep inside!   We are not greed mongers trying to exploit each other for the mighty dollar.  We are Americans, this is America, we have saved the world twice from outside of  our Great Nation, and once from within our Great Nation.  Sadly I must say, it appears we must stop the evil from within once again.  Money and Greed mean more than a human life and this evil and folly must be stopped!  The issues in here are just a beginning to the end of the raping of the good and honest Americans whom still exist from sea to shining sea.  All the little guys and small towns, the people who care more about life and human well being before Money and Greed.  The Little guys and smalll town Americans, who put honesty and intyegrity before the mighty dollar.  There is nothing wrong with money, and money is not the problem, it's the people whom believe Money is Power and use it to exploit the little guy and small town Americans, and all of us.  The lies that are told to obtain enormous wealth and destroy the lives of the masses.  See it's not money here, it's the people who want to amass as much money as they can to control us all.  This is not American, as a matter of fact it sounds more like Communism to me than Health-Care, Education, and Labor Unions.  Don't be folled anymore America, be happy and smile cause tomorrow is going to bring a btter day and this we know is the TRUTH!

 

                            TOMORROW  IS  HOPE  AND  TRUTH,  IT  IS OUR  FUTURE!

These are my tthoughts for today!  We are winning, so let's bring this one home for America my friends!  Let's stop the real Communist, and take the shackles off the good and honest politicians in this country who love all Americans as their own family.  The Kennedy's may not be amongst us no more, but life is not ever-lasting, dreams and idea's are. and these things we still have!

Hi.  So you have an SBI! website through SiteSell?  I do too.  I know that Paypal is not the only form of payment that is offered or suggested to use with one's own site.  Some companies have a problem with Paypal anyhow because supposedly they cannot obtain a bunch of personal financial information on you that can be done through the use of a regular credit card.  I found that HSN does not accept Paypal, for instance.

 

BTW, has anyone received anything 'spammy' in their email box after posting here?  I posted a couple times the other night and have suddenly received a boatload of spam, at least according to my husband. 

 

Back to SBI!  Yes, that is a good way to go for anyone willing to build up their business via a website.

 I've just had my funds held by Pay Pal...if I ever get this current mess straightened out I'm withdrawing my funds from them and I won't be using their services anymore. That's a horrible way to treat a customer that, up until now has had no disputes. They've cheated me for the last time!

I agree with you. I understand holding funds for a FEW days but 21 days is rediculous. My customer has already recieved thier product and i'm still waiting to recieve my funds. I can't move forward with more purchases until it clears. I think the fact that ebay and PayPal are under one company is sort of monoploizing the market. Not only to i pay a fee to list, i also pay them a percentage of my sale as well as a fee to Paypal. I'm sure Ebay and Paypal didn't have to wait 21 days to take thier cut!

I just had this happen to me this week. Questions to ponder...Do they hold the funds of big companies

now selling on ebay? No, they would be sued!!!!!!!!! I have 100% feedback and over 1300 feedbacks and

yet they are holding my funds!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why? I am a small seller. One of my guesses is they want to crowd

the small seller out because they are GREEDY! They want big profit sellers so they can line their overflowing

pockets with more green. We don't make enough, thats part of it I think. Plus, they can get away with it. Who

has attorneys? Big players, and you can bet they don't mess with them. In fact I wrote a Christmas Story

about their corruption on my last 3 auctions, so I imagine as soon as they see it they will kick me to the

curb, but I don't care anymore. BOTTOM LINE IS IT'S YOUR MONEY!!!!! Between ebay and paypal they take

half of it at least in fees and now they want more. There is sickness behind this whole thing.
