Excuse me i'm not being rude to you. Just because im speaking my mind and giving an opinion, just as you are does not make me rude. Just because you dont like it. You've admitted several times in a previous post that i have valid points on alot of things i've said, but i find you to be consistently wrong, theres a post underneath us of another person not getting paid after 21 days, and you said it rarely happens. Thats 3 transactions from 2 people. Yet that seller underneath us has to do the leg work, they have to phone paypal or email and find out where thier money is, why should they?? Paypal should just give it to them.  Im sure your job is stressful, i never said it wasnt, and i'm sure your very helpful on the right post, but not this one. There is no justifying anything paypal do regarding a 21 day hold. Yes its a good idea to have a hold in place, yes we all understand why its there. But holding people's money to make interest off longer than the stated days make it illegal. Thay act like a bank but without a lawful govening body. I'm sorry if you feel offended but ive seen no advice on here which is fair to the seller. Not from you or anyone. The best solution is to sell 100 postcards. Why cant it be that we can sell what we need to when we need too, and wait a maximum of a fortnight. And why cant paypal look after its sellers? how about we dont have to make international phone calls because they havent paid us? or email them because they havent paid us. Sorry but i think its a joke and we will always agree to disagree.  ... View more

Exactly! Thats all were asking. This is why i said review your policies. 14 days is much much much more reasonable. The point im making about losses on selling is, ebay only really account for postage costs, not packaging. They say postage and packaging but it doesnt cover it, for example, ive just sold skyward sword limited edition,  because its in 'video games' the highest p&p costs i can charge is £3.00, now, recorded delivery for this item is a tad over £4.00, not to mention bubble wrap, thats £1.00 and a postage box is £1.49. Yes i made a loss on p&p, but thats not the buyers fault, its ebays fault, if i dont have competitive prices the buyer will go elsewhere, meaning i stay skint.  Im not about to start selling 100 postcards, ebay charge you listing and final value fee's plus yourselves take a bite of any transaction, that would just cost me more than it needs to. Its not a viable solution. As for boot sales...do you think i would have made a 20 mile round trip on foot had i had a car?  ... View more

Your wrong about that too, check my paypal account, today was my 21st day, and i had to badger the buyer for feedback. Read what we are saying. Not all people leave feedback so were waiting 3 weeks for payment its too long. Your not good at this. And in fact i have 2 people that left it for almost 21 days...YEAH DEAD RARE. You might want to start looking after sellers, both yourselves and ebay, as none of it works without sellers. And a **bleep** of alot of people are going elsewhere. ... View more

Also one more thing....How can you say only a handful complain?? Have you seen how many posts there are? Please educate yourself on the matter before you speak. Your lot say anything to deflect the issue, had it on the phone and email, now here lol So have others. ... View more

Because firstly, how about being a good seller and offering competitive p&p rates as rare games cost enough as it is, forgive me but didnt ebay crack down on people ripping off customers with p&p costs??? Most sellers make a loss on sales because of p&p! Anything in games that is in bulk or weighs a bit means we can only charge £3.00 MAX! So, no i wont charge my buyers more, im making a loss as it is.secondly, if you read, i sold because i was skint. Im not a power seller, i wont make 100 sales for a long time. And just so you know, today infact some snotty buyer with a feedback score of 5 had the cheek to have a go at me because i asked him for feedback if he was happy with his game, i got the most dumb witted response ever, is as follows, "ive bought a few items from sellers and not left feedback, they havent mentioned paypal rules" uneducated, so i linked him paypal rules showed him that small sellers like myself, need feedback and ebay doesnt work very well without it. Would he have bought from me if i didnt have good feedback? i think not. Would any buyer? No.  All we are complaining about, is those of us that dont sell 100's on ebay have suffer this nonsense of holding fee's. Were not saying stop it, and we are ALL very aware why this rule is in place. What we are saying is lower the 21 days. How many parcels go missing for 21 days? How many people wait 21 days for a package to turn up? No one. **bleep** sure i wouldnt. Besides, theres a dispatch time you have to put in on ebay as a seller which is usually by most sellers 2-3 days...that would leave 18-19 days for your parcel to turn up...you wouldnt wait that long either before contacting a seller. If you do your an idiot part of the reason ebay can fall apart.Its about COMMUNICATION. you get rated on it. Thats the bottom line. Thats why we are annoyed. Dont justify it with tinted glasses. ...

YOU GREEDY SELFISH ****! I sold on ebay because i was skint, literally skint, i sold rare video games which sold fast, yet 21 freakin days later i have no money still! since i sold them games i've had to walk 7 miles to my sisters to borrow the money stuck in paypal, to walk another 3 miles to get to the shops, then to drag my **bleep** 10 MILES BACK! all because not all buyers leave feedback, most people cant be bothered aslong as they get their items and sod the rest of us! LOOK AT YOUR POLICIES PAYPAL! You only give a **** about the buyer, you disgust me you soggy hogs. I want my money and i want it today otherwise its going to be me and you in a nice little legal fight, in which i will win damages. I will win because im right. What your doing is illegal. Freaks. ... View more
