Anyone ever have this occur? All through the many years of buying/selling and having my Paypal account-I have never encounted this-here it is in a nutshell: Purchased item - paid in full with my PP acct-seller says -"OK now after it clears in "MY BANK ACCOUNT" which usually takes about 5 days" "Once I have it in PP - then I'll transfer it to my bank account-if it clears-I'll ship it-on 12/12" I,of course-replied - explained that once in PP acct-it IS CLEARED and just because she chooses to take my "cleared payment" which is in her PP acct and transfer it to her external personal bank acct-it has nothing to do with me- THE obvious PROBLEM here is I have to wait-at Chrismas time-for an entire week after paying for my grd-dtr's gift-to be shipped from the seller because I have to wait while she transfers my payment into her bank! AND I have to ship THIS 4000 miles after I get it shipped to me-WHICH WILL BE 2 WEEKS AFTER I PAID BY THE TIME I RECEIVE IT-MAKING IT LATE FOR CHRISTMAS TO MY LITTLE GRD-DTR! And of course I'm paying shipping-and I still get to wait while she chooses what to do with my payment-I won't get this until possily the 19th of December- I did my best to explain that this is not really appropriate to make ppl wait this long after the money is auto-cleared and spendable in the PP acct the instant it is there-I am very unhappy that this seller has decided this is proper-perhaps she will reconsider-let's hope since it is paid today-that it is shiped by at least Monday- What can really be done in a case like this? Is there anyone here that knows if I can demand my PURCHASED item not be held "hostage" while my payment is being moved around to CLEAR!! in her bank acct. How rediculous is this? I appreciate anything that anyone knows-thanks ahead-everyone have a great weekend!
