Hi there! I would like to inform you that I confirmed with over a dozen shop owners who use merchant services including Etsy, amazon, and paypal, and that this is something that has never occured for any of them. Additionally, all of these shops operate exactly the same as I do - it is not feasible for many of us to keep material on hand since many of them will only be used once, and predicting what customers are going to want is impossible. Three individuals who use paypal for their shop have told me that they have never experienced this, and are extremely turned off from using paypal in the future - as I am as well - This thread, the attitude a "support" person is giving, and the lack of understanding is proof enough. Also, did it ever occur to y'all that people like me need to pay their bills, and adding holds to accounts as "random security checks" can lead to significant debt, thankfully I had a family member who was able to cover the cost for now, but **bleep** guys... come on
