I am a new seller on eBay and like most others there seems to me no alternative but to use PayPal to receive payments. My buyers have received there items and responded with positive feedback and my estimated funds availability date is up to 13 days away. Add another four business days to complete transfer from PayPal to my bank account. You will have a hard time convincing me that holding my money for 17 days after both parties are satisfied with a transaction is in the best interest of anyone other than PayPal. This is a service that we are paying for. There absolutely needs to be a government inquiry into paypal's practices. Absolutely the worst treatment of paying customers imaginable. To try to convince people that this is for the good of the customers is insulting. eBay needs to find an alternative to PayPal in a hurry!
