here is the email reply I got from Paypal...I specifically asked why the PAD is not working and didnt get an answer just told how it works...OY....we already know how it works...guess they don't know why or dont want to tell us why it does not work any longer...My acct too has no issues...I just had a PAD withdrawal come thru 3 days ago was the last one on my acct...   Thank you for contacting PayPal with your concern. Pay After Delivery is a method of payment where you don’t pay until you receive your item and make sure it's what you expected. We pay the seller upfront and withdraw the payment from your bank account 14 days later. There is no fee to schedule a payment using Pay After Delivery. You still have full coverage on your payments. If you don’t receive your item or the item isn’t what you expected, just let us know by reporting a problem in the PayPal Resolution Center. If you report the problem within 14 days of making your purchase we’ll put your payment on hold and you won’t pay until the dispute is resolved. Note: Not every purchase allows Pay After Delivery and when it’s available you’ll see the option on the 'Review Your Information' page during checkout You need a confirmed bank to use Pay After Delivery. If there isn’t enough money in your bank account to complete your scheduled Pay After Delivery payment, we’ll use your backup payment method. We make two attempts to debit your bank account for a payment before we use your backup payment method.   ... View more

I have been using PAD for several mos now...with no issues...the money was always in my acct when it was time for them to withdraw...now for the last 3 weeks the option is no longer avail...I have emailed Paypal but have not rec an answer as of yet.....very aggravating.. I have also not opened a non receipt claim...so this cant be the issue either... @sparkles5276 wrote: @ftm2010 wrote: I used it a lot with no problems -- money was always withdrawn on time. All of a sudden it just stopped working and I was not offered it again. I did a test- I found an item that i wanted to buy that was a BIN with immediate paymnt required so if PAD wasnt offered i was not ruining an auction. I tried to go through the process and it did not work for me. I then asked my best friend and my mom to buy the same item-- not actually buy it but go through the process until PAD is offered or not. Both my friend and mom got the PAD offer but I did not. I currently have no pending transactions so its not a matter of having a large balance pending. I called paypal an they said my account is in good standing. They told me it was te sellers preference also and I told them about my test and also that when you go through the selling process you are never given the option to pick and choose payment preferences. I was then told that paypal wouldn't know about that and that I would have to talk to ebay. The only thing I can think of is it has to do with cases. Has anyone who has had this option disappear file a SNAD or Non-Receipt case recently? I noticed that this disappeared after I file a non receipt case because a seller never shipped an item. Other than that-I have no idea. There must be some sort of statistical model that rules out some people andthey will never release the criteria. I love paypal and loved PAD so I hope to get it back or have them get it to a point where you will know before buying on ebay if it will be offered. You know what you are 100% right!  I did open a Non-Receipt claim (for a $9 item that  I never got-was never shipped) around the same time that Paypal stopped offering PAD!!  I never put the two together!   ...
