its a no win deal I'm afraid to say, if you dont ship the items the buyer will post neg. feed back and they will put a hold on it, so any way you go about it your on hold,but you have alot of company I too am in that boat. ... View more

I feel your pain as most of us Reg everyday user of this forum do , as I am sure most of us here do, however paypal/ebay has us all by the short hairs. We can not force our customers to leave feedback and I've had that happen to me as I'm sure alot here have. but its out of our hands. my funds have been on hold for the last 29 days and counting , I have a 100% pos. feedback , No claims opened , no notice that my funds were being held or the reason behind it,(but ater reasearching it I found out the real reason all our money goes into an account that draws interest for THEM for as long as they want to keep it.) they also have incluided in your users agreement that you give up your rights to banned togather to file a cival suit against them. YOUR ONLY OPTIONS ARE WHAT I HAVE DONE -1. FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE FTC @www.ftc.gov - 2. also contact your congress person and ask that they look into this matter - 3. get the word out about what they are doing IE: facebook,twitter,Topix, message board. if enough stink is raised one day it will get so bad that change will come. Till then I hope you have deep pockets. ... View more

I like so many of you have been caught up in pays web of holding our funds they say for 21 days mines been on hold for 29 days today. I have a 100% pos. rating, no claims file against me, what can we do ? not much in the courts we all agreed to sign away our right in order to use paypal/Ebay. However you can go to www.ftc.gov they have promise to investagate if enough complaints are filed. I file mine this morning I would also advise you to contact your congressman about this matter. ...

Paypal is still holding my money after 27 days. I thought it was only up to 21 days. it seems as if paypal/ebay are collecting there fees but still holding your money long after transaction has been completed. this seems to be a widespead problem with paypal. While we the sellers are out the product and shipping cost for as long as paypal wants to hold our money. I have left feed back to paypal however i dont expect anyone at paypal or ebay to ever read it. I feel that it might be a good ideal for all sellers with this problem and it seems as if there are alot of us, to stop useing paypal and report there complants to the BBB. ...
