Hi, I have been reading about PayPal holding on to funds even after the item has been shipped, received, and positive feedback left. It is becoming a huge issue for sellers. I am having a huge problem with it myself. I sold a phone on ebay, the buyer paid fast via PayPal, so I shipped out the item via USPS Priority Mail and provided a tracking number. Today (Jan 18) the buyer left feedback and it was positive. In my account it says Complete-Funds not available yet. I don't understand if PayPal plans to hold the money for 21 days or you get it sooner depending on how you ship the item, then why must they hold the money even AFTER you do all the steps they say, mark the item as shipped, provide a tracking number, I did EVERYTHING they say. I came on here first because if I call them I know I will be on the phone for at least 5 hours. Is anyone else have the funds hold problem as well? I just feel that if the buyer has tracking of their shipment, and they received the item and left positive feedback then the seller should get access to their funds. This is really becoming a huge problem as I need to use the money for fees and such and bills. I remember when PayPal was not like this.
