if they are putting holds on your current account what makes you think they wont put holds on a new account?   if you read any of the other postings on here, there are a LOT of p.o.'d people whove been members for years and year and are still having payments held. ... View more

 why is paypal holding our money now?   Why, when i call to ask about the 21 day hold, was I told that there is NO 21 day hold on items within the US (i was told this just today, a half hour ago)   Is it paypals hope and goal to get us callers so frustrated that our questions aren't being answered that we just hang up?   Why is paypal hanging us sellers out to dry? We shouldnt have to ship using money out of pocket before we have even received payment. What if the item gets delivered and the payment ends up being a chargeback?   Why is paypal also hanging buyers out to dry? For those sellers who dont have the cash to ship out of pocket, obviously they cant get the money from paypal, and as a buyer I simply am NOT willing to leave positive feedback before its due. Therefore I then have to wait 21 days or until the seller somehow gets the cash to ship.     ***other paypal/ebay users list your question also*** I am just waiting til i have 10 positives so I can switch to paymate exclusively. ...

5 months later? say no. If the item was working when you shipped it, then he cant send it back NOW because HE broke it. Not the way it works. Pull your money off paypal if you have to. ... View more
