Never accept paypal for an amount you are unwilling to risk. . With a 2000 pound item worth 10 grand it sounds like a transaction that should be conducted face to face with CASH. . Any excuses why this can't happen sound like the excuses of a scammer. . IMHO of course.

"I find this to be extremely unfair and a complete waste of my time! It seems that this buyer's intentions were simply to wear the jeans for a day and return them for a full refund, filing the "not as described" claim as an excuse and getting away with it scot-free." . The flaw in that thinking is that the buyer didn't get away "scot-free". They may have recieved a full refund of what they paid you but they still had to pay return shipping of a pair of jeans to a different country than they live in. Not to mention the time to repack and ship. . Seems like quite a bit of time and money to wear a pair of jeans for a couple of days.

"They are listed as a "Premier Member" and I don't know if that means they can be trusted." . It doesn't. . "They also said they cannot ship the item for 15 days when payment is made available." . That is a red flag. . "I really want this item, but I have been scammed before through Western Union with a different vendor." . Never ever ever ever ever pay by western union for something purchased on the internet. . "Does this sound like a scam?" . On the limited information provided, Maybe. . The best way to protect yourself if you really want the item would be to ONLY use a Credit Card funded paypal payment.

" Paypal is apparently unaware that it has numerous competitors, some of which (like Venmo) are FREE! If I had known about this policy change before listing my item on eBay, I would have specified Venmo instead of Paypal," Just an FYI. Venmo is not allowed to be listed as a payment method on ebay.

Most likely yes. Unless you entwined your paypal account in whatever got your ebay account suspended, you should be able to use paypal outside of ebay.

"DO i add my credit card to the paypal account " Yes. After you have done that, When you go to pay for an item there will be a "pay by credit card" that you can click on and then pay by credit card.

Seller says I was obligated to inform him of the return first. The seller can say whatever they wish. Did you use Delivery confirmation on the return or SC if over $250? How did you fund the paypal payment?

We're happy to help answer any questions. Cool. First let me say the Teenage mutant ninja turtle talk brings back memories of my siblings interest and my childrens interest. I would have lost a fortune 20 years ago if someone had bet me my kids would like the same thing as my sister. LOL On a more serious note. Is there any discussion of making the criteria for the 21 day hold more transparent? There continues to be reports of holds from members who seem to have no earthly reason for a hold? While some uncertatinty is inevitable, too much uncertanty invites charges it is done at random. Are the 21 day holds done at random?
