HORRIBLE IDEA TO HOLD FUNDS FOR 21 DAYS!!!

[gearhed78]

  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!

it also seems that anyone who has sent me money for christmas through paypal is now haveing there accounts seized due to the ongoing issues i have with them i have told those people to request refunds since paypal will give them their money back no questions asked and to mail me money orders or checks paypal has gone around the bend for sure 

not just paypal but ebay as well they forgot who made them what they are today

Another thing I wanted to touch on is not all Buyer's of mine follow through and leave FEEDBACK!! So Im left waiting for the money to be freed up! Im not rich.. I live paycheck to paycheck and often sell to get by between paydays!

Also there was no warning or heads up on this scam !..Being treated like a child on allowance with My own money!

I may not sell anymore!  Release My Funds or I take My business elsewhere!!

Yes there was absolutely no heads up. At first I thought 'what could I have done?'

'Did someone file something against me?' I had to close my store and take off

all my listings, because I am like you, paycheck to paycheck and my sells on

ebay WAS going to be my money for Christmas, but I was left very short as I

had to quit selling, because I can't afford the shipping.

Today I signed up for ioffer, you get a free store and you get to keep your ebay

points. I am looking for a good checkout to replace paypal. I do not have any

repect for this company anymore. There is also ebids,etsy,ibids for ebay replacement.

There are google checkout,first date merchant services,etc.

Hope you have a decent Christmas, I know it's hard under the circumstances, but

we can't let them have power over us, they forget it is the sellers that made them!!!!!!!!

I just had to sign up and agree with you on this! I've been on eBay (Member since: Jul-13-07) and paypal (I went as far back as tranactions in 1995!!!) a long time. I have never really sold high priced items but, just because I sell a $160.00 item is no reason to hold my funds!!!!! I re-signed up with ebay and lost all my previous feedback so I'm now a 47 (100% feedback to!)....but I've been on ebay buying $300.00+ things yet I get paid for something only a fraction of that???? C'mon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seller Beware!!!!!!!    Ive been a member of paypal since1997 and Recently sold an item via Ebay. They have still not released my funds. It's been two weeks now!!! My buyer has had the item now for two weeks and Im still not paid!!!!!!  PayPal has seriously forgotten who they work for!!! I cant wait to Find another transaction site!! For all of you who have not had a problem with Paypal, Dont worry yours is comming!!!

You don't need the feedback to getthe funds released sooner.  Once the D/C showes delivery, the funds are usually released with 48 hours.

Not true.  It's the evening of the 31st, the package I sent was confirmed delivered on the 28th and the funds are still on hold.

Did you give paypal the tracking number.

holds are usually released 24-72 hours, depending on the time of day the D/C shows delivery

[tk27]

I'm the same Confirmed Delivery on the 28th and It Still not released. Paypal has the tracking number too.

This is the kicker. I paid extra at the postoffice because I had a non-USPS box due to the size of the item and paid extra to get it to the buyer in 2 days, extra meaning more at the post office than I had printed out!!!! I had sent the buyer the tracking number AND e-mailed him the day I personally handed it to the person in the post office that it was on the way, but this is what I read:
