Agreed, it is INSANE! I usually buy on Ebay, not sell, but this is the first time I've encountered this. The buyer made a payment, but PayPal is holding the funds for 21 days or until the buyer leaves positive feedback. What if they don't???... I don't get paid??? Sorry, but I'm not shipping without payment. I've been an Ebay buyer for at least 10 years. Here's how it goes:: I win - Pay through PayPal - the buyer ships the item. That's how I've always had to do it as a buyer. PayPal OR Ebay doesn't have seem to have ANY problem GETTING money from me for fees! If I'm secure enough for THEM, then I should be for the buyer too. This "pending" for "safe selling" is a load of bull. PayPal is probably collecting interest on our money while it sits. I wouldn't even be writing this post if PayPal provided an EMAIL or PHONE NUMBER!!!!!!!!! in order to contact them about this. Every time I click on "phone" or "Email" buttons, nothing happens. I have 9 items on auction right now. I have a good mind to pull them, apologize to the bidders, and CLOSE MY EBAY ACCOUNT.
