PayPal Community

I feel for each and every one of the sellers here. I have been dealing with this for well over 3 months now. All the threats and whining won't help. I was on hold for 42 minutes before I spoke to a Paypal rep. Only to be told there is nothing I/we can do. So I just have to let winners know and I'm gooing to incorperate this info into my future auctions of this policy and let buyers know that thanks to eBay  they may face a 21 day wait for their item unless feedback is left early. It's not our fault that eBay/Paypal is hurting their sale. What choice do we have. This relateing the "policy" is hurting them and us so maybe we can get others to cry foul and if enough complaints start comming in eBay will stop medelling in things thay have no business in. BTW...PayPal is OWNED by eBay. ... View more

I sat on hold for 52 minutes tonight to be told that I won't get my money until 1) HE PICKS UP THE PACKAGE AND I CAN PROVE IT GOT DELIVERED or 2) HE LEAVES ME POSITIVE FEEDBACK. The fact that I proved it was delivered but he was not concerned enough to be there to accept it is of no consequence. Because I do not have a feedback rating of 100 keeps me from getting paid for a job I completed two days ago. Now I've been on eBay since 07 and I've been with PayPal since before '95 and I am VERIFIED!!!! I feel that this is a slap in the face. I had to set up a new eBay account because I was moving so much my old account lapsed. My old account had well over 200+ feedback. Now I have 47 AND my rating is 100%. BUT I am told that until I do get 100+ feedback....this will keep happening. This is B S! ... View more

This is the kicker. I paid extra at the postoffice because I had a non-USPS box due to the size of the item and paid extra to get it to the buyer in 2 days, extra meaning more at the post office than I had printed out!!!! I had sent the buyer the tracking number AND e-mailed him the day I personally handed it to the person in the post office that it was on the way, but this is what I read:   We attempted to deliver your item at 2:37 PM on December 30, 2009 in AUSTIN, TX 78757 and a notice was left. You may pick up the item at the Post Office indicated on the notice, go to www.usps.com/redelivery, or call 800-ASK-USPS to arrange for redelivery. If this item is unclaimed after 15 days then it will be returned to the sender. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day.

I'm in the same boat!! I never knew about this hold crap until it just happened to me. The package was delivered on the 30th but no one was home!!!!! Now I'm stuck on the phone waiting for paypal to pick up to see if I can get this lifted because I don't think I need to wait for money if they don't have the common sense to be there or have someone there if the KNOW a package is coming!!! I notified them the day it shipped and gave them a tracking number so they would be there. Now I'm stuck waiting for them to leave feedback for an item they seem to be not eager or in no hurry to get????? From Now On I Am Not Going To Ship Items If Funds Are On Hold!!!!! ... View more

I just had to sign up and agree with you on this! I've been on eBay (Member since: Jul-13-07) and paypal (I went as far back as tranactions in 1995!!!) a long time. I have never really sold high priced items but, just because I sell a $160.00 item is no reason to hold my funds!!!!! I re-signed up with ebay and lost all my previous feedback so I'm now a 47 (100% feedback to!)....but I've been on ebay buying $300.00+ things yet I get paid for something only a fraction of that???? C'mon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... View more
