Anyone would take a bonus if they had earned it but holding on to other peoples money yes there money the they have made by selling there items is not a bonus to them so if eBay does hold onto there money, should they not also share in the bonus or should I say profit the profit that is being made by holding there money for twenty one days so the bonus is being made at are expense yes we the sellers were is are bonus ...

I understand that poeple can be classed as a new seller when starting to sell but after selling for 3 to 4 weeks getting my money imediatlely after receiving positive feedback from buyers who have left feedback not all buyers do . Doing everything asked by eBay and then they saying after a month we have put your money on hold makes no sense . ... View more

Nice to see you've apologized to someone who tried to help pity they never responded bit like eBay and Pay pal I to had my money suspend on the pretense that it was pending even though I had positive feed back like you I jumped through hoops eventually the let me have my money just a pity you have to phone on a premium rate number wonder if they can reimburse us for the cost there penalty which they have imposed on us I doubt it good luck anyway. ...

I have now stopped selling on eBay I have been a member since 2007 have 100 percent positive feedback never one complaint had been messed about by a few idiots and had to sort things out myself . When I started selling I never had a problem then all of a sudden I got a message from Paypal Payment pending the reason eBay had not informed them I had positive feedback Paypal checked my eBay account found the positive feedback released my funds I thought great its sorted . But no sold some more stuff went to withdraw my money yes my money same again contacted Paypal yet again by phone as they do not answer my emails reason given to me I had not verified my account then after 20 minutes on the they confirmed I had and was told the money would be in my account within two hours . The next time my funds were withheld another excuse Because I was new to selling then after that it was for mine and buyer protection even though yet again I had positive feedback the buyer was happy with the Item which was proof it had arrived still would not release my money I refuse to pay to send recorded delivery as this would mean adding to the cost of PP. Most of the buying and selling on eBay is done on trust from buyer that the item has been described correctly and buy the seller that they will be paid but how can you trust a company who not only holds onto your money which they have already taken there fees out of eBay then Paypal take there fees the customer has paid for the item are happy with it and you the seller are the one left out of pocket until eBay and Paypal by the way are owned by the same shareholders decide you can have your money how many other businesses can get away with this . Very shoddy practise and dishonest to say the least disappointed does not come close to the way I feel that I have been treat by eBay and Paypal its like you have to beg for money that belongs to you by the way sent another email to Paypal stating my reasons why I will no longer be selling on eBay and they still have not replied . ...

I have just emailed paypal letting them know I will no longer be selling on ebay I doubt they will respond to my email or care I contacted paypal to tell them ebay was holding on to my money this was not the first time this has happened there excuse was ebay did not let them know that I had received positive feedback then after explaining my problem and having to be on  the phone for over 20 minuets they actually looked on my account then released the funds guess I,m one of the lucky ones by the way do not contact them by email its a waste of time I don,t see why I have to beg for money that is mine .Everyone knows paypal and ebay are owned by the same people also thinking of closing my paypal account never had any problems with my debit card maybe if more people did this then they would actually take more notice and value there customers would,nt hold my breath though. ...
