Ok , Providing a tracking #  and providing delivery confirmation are two completely different animals.  Anyone can provide a tracking #. Then they could cancel it once they have convinced the buyer the item has shipped. I understand ebays stance on that. However, once the item has been scanned into USPS. That's it. NOW, a delivery confirmation is just that, That goes way beyond the call of duty, to satisfy eBay. Release the money. It is no longer e-bays responsibility to see if the buyer likes the item or not. Or if they have any issues w/item. First and foremost, buyer tries to work it out w/seller. If not resolved, open a claim. How can eBay, with a good conscience, decide to hold the sellers money from him,her. Who is to say, that the buyer, has not, tampered with, altered in some way the item purchased? Is eBay going to be there w/a camera when the item is opened? This holding the money for positive input is ridiculous. The whole concept of buying this way is being destroyed. There are always going to be cons/thieves/dirt bags. But what are you doing to your long standing customers? Bad taste in my mouth. Bad Business practice. Shame on you eBay.     ... View more

Good question, I would also like to know. @kate07 wrote: I thought the only way for the payment to be release to the seller is if we received a feedback or the tracking # shows it's been delivered? Right? The tracking # I provided shows it's been delivered and even signed for but it's been 4 days and the payment is still on hold? Why is that? What's going on here? Why aren't they releasing it?   ... View more

I am trying to purchace something from a seller, can I just use the money in my Paypal account just to pay them?   Any help would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks!!!! Just click on pay now,  it should ask you how you want to pay(depending on what type of account you set up) If you pay with pay pay, log on then follow directions. Quickest no hassle way to pay. ...

It posted as a "credit" among my other "debits" (from my checking account connected to the secure card).  What is interesting (and I am still waiting for resolution on...) is how that "credit" of $92 gets back into my checking account. Since this credit only happened today, I am waiting and watching to see if my checking account is credited from Paypal.   What I don't know is how long that secure card generated "number" is able to be refunded to by the vendor. I believe the "number" is good for a certain time--lets say thirty days and then lapses.  Since my request for a refund was completed within thirty days, it worked well.  WHAT I DON'T KNOW--and perhaps someone else can tell us is if the vendor is able to refund to the secure card INDEFINITELY or if there is only a thirty day window before the generated secure card "number" becomes invalid for me...?  If so, then how does the vendor refund after the window?         This is the exact same question I needed to ask, so I will wait along with you.Thank-you ...
