Same thing has happened with me,Infact I am an old hand with ebay and paypal,but hadnt used them for a few years...I forgot my old ebay sign in and decided to make a new one.I understand paypal with holding my money as the 1st item I sold was video camera,which was tested before sending to buyer.The buyer contacted me to say the battery would not hold a charge....so I offfered them back the £7 postage charge to purchase a new one which could be bought on ebay for £8...The buyer was thankfull I did this,but I did make them aware it actually cost me £12.95 to post it.So on the face of it I was out of pocket.Anyway we settled everything and I even got positive feedback from the buyer...The item was sold 14th April 2013 and as of today and after almost daily emails to Paypal,the money is still pending.Today I received £5 from paypal as a thank you for using them!!! Yeah yeah ok you gave a fiver!!! But wheres MY money thats been pending! Paypal need to start acting quicker with genuine customers to resolve such issues!
