You are correct- it is total insanity the way Paypal handles UPS payments! The part that irks me the most is that Paypal will debit my account for an estimated amount, say, on May 27. Then on June 1, the amount is credited back to my account, and it's not until June 6 that the actual amount is debited from my account. So, from June 1 through the 6th, it appears that I have more money in my account than is true. When I am out shopping and check my balance on my phone, I need to know the TRUE amount of money I have and it's impossible to check every transaction to see if Paypal has inflated my balance out of the blue in the last 5 days. Too many times I've found myself too short of funds because of these insane debits & credits that are spread out for nearly 2 weeks. The very least Paypal could do to remedy this mess is to not credit the account the original amount held UNTIL the final payment to UPS is complete.
