Hey there guys,   That email response that MrPaddy has put up is correct. If you have received your positive feedback the funds should be credited to your available balance within 24 hours, if not, contact PayPal and they can manually be credited.   I would advise using the contact us link while logged into your PayPal account as this will mean the email comes in attached to your PayPal account.   Nwhite, it’s not possible to have funds sent through PayPal directly to a bank account. You will always need to withdraw the funds. The fee that comes out is the receiving fee that PayPal charges for the service. ... View more

Hi guys,   To be honest, there are a few possible reasons as to why a payment may have been placed on hold on your PayPal account. It is possible that we may have placed the funds on hold until we can verify that your buyer has sent this payment from their PayPal account.   I am unable to review your accounts and provide you with information in regards to why these payments have been placed on hold. I realise that your buyers may have contacted you advising that they are unhappy with not having received the items yet. You could ask them to contact PayPal directly and we can advise them what the exact issue is with this transaction.   If you would like more information yourselves on the payment that is currently on hold, you can contact customer services by clicking the Contact Us link at the bottom of any PayPal webpage.   I hope this helps,   David. ...

Hi I completely agree with all of you. I have had over £560 held by Paypal simply because a buyer cannot make upher mind when she returned 2 phones that were the wrong memory! Originally she sent me an email saying she returned the phones on 8th june. then on the 20th june she said she had just  returned them on 20th! all the while i tried to track them down. It was 28th when she cleverly decided to open a dispute! In reality 8 working days for an international return is not enough time! if she has sent them on the 20th and opened a dispute on 28th, that's not enough time for international shipping. It can take up to 10 working days at times and that's just for me to get the phones back! another 10 maximum to send out replacements. I have been in constant comuncation with her and now that I have finally got the phones back and sent off the replacements which I gave her tracking number for which clearly states they are over the border, she hasn't cancelled the dispute! I have 3 more order payments to send off to my supplier which only off set the negative balance i had because of this dispute and cant pay my supplier until i get my 560 back. It's been 4 days since i got paid by buyers and if i don't get my money back from paypal i will have more disputes wondering where their phones are. What a load of )*^*&)%!!!!!   I also have paypal threatening to put a reserve on my account which will mean paying for the flippin postage myself! all because of this dispute.  I hear horror stories of sellers that are on 30% reserves! although those reserves are repaid to the seller after a period of time, that is dependent on whether you get another single refund or dispute! In other words you wont get it back.   I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL 18TH JULY BEFORE GETTING THIS MONEY BACK ONLY TO END UP WITH ANOTHER DISPUTE!!!!!!!!   PAYPAL, IF YOU CAN READ THIS (BECAUSE YOU OBVIOUSLY CANT RUN A BUSINESS (ROBBER IS NOT A BUSINESS BY THE WAY) PLEASE CANCEL MY DISPUTE AND EVERYBODY ELSES. REPAY OUR MONEY, CANCEL ALL RESERVES AND HELP US MAKE A PROPER BUSINESS WHICH IS THE WHOLE BLOODY POINT OF THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   DO YOU NOT MAKE ENOUGH MONEY ON JUST THE 3.4% TRANSACTION FEES?   ...

It's ridiculous, we are paying from our own pockets for postage when we're all a lot poorer than we were before. Don't send items until the 21 days is over if you can't trust people to be courteous enough to leave feedback... this is the only way we can get things done fairly. ... View more

if you find another way of paying please let me now, im also fed up of having my money held because some people can not be bothered to leave feedback,  im really fed up with paypal, think i might say pay by postal order or cash on collection, paypal is to much trouble, ... View more
