Funds being held?

Charge them administration costs, usually 10 - 15 GBP per letter. You are well within your rights to do so. When they refuse to pay bring them to the small claims. They are not a bank and cannot act like one by holding your money. ... View more

Paypal are acting above the law by holding your money , Paypal are NOT a bank, they are not officially recognised as a bank. E bay own Paypal , E bay instruct Paypal to hold your funds , E bay is not a bank.   Paypal hold funds to draw interest on them. ASK FOR YOUR INTEREST! I doubt you will get any. ... View more

What a load of carp, I have a tracking number and my payment is still on hold, you lie. What are paypal going to do, call round to the buyers home and confirm reciept personally? Why should we have to fight for our own money? I am pretty sure paypal is acting above the law here.   HOW MUCH INTEREST DO THESE WITHHELD PAYMENTS GENERATE EACH YEAR? ... View more

So there we have it , I sold an item last week, the seller recieved it , I have included a tracking number, I have photographic proof of this transactionj being complete via Royal Mail (customers signature) and guess what? PAY PAL ARE STILL HOLDING PAYMENT!!! SURPRISE SURPRISE! So paypal are telling you one thing then going ahead and not following their promise of releasing moneys when the criteria has been met. I will never use pay pal again , I feel l;ike I have been conned out of my money, not by a dodgy E bayer , BY PAYPAL!.   No doubt this post will be deleted, if it ever makes it to the public boards in the first place. ...
