Absolutely right. Paypal is abusing its memberswho are also Ebay sellers. I am a member with a 100% feedback score. I usually buy more items than I sell on Ebay, so the practice of placing 21 day holds on funds went unnoticed until I placed an item for sale. The winning bidder paid immediately and I shipped the next morning with a tracking number. The item was delivered. I furnished proof of delivery in a response to Paypal's email stating that I had been paid. That was five days ago. Paypal still has my money in "pending" status. I tried calling their Customer "Dis-service" number. The chump on the other end of the line did nothing but regurgitate - from a script no doubt. I am, from what I see here, certainly not the only member who is very upset about Paypal's practice. There are websites and blogspots all over the net with postings from people who are livid about this. Why not adjust this policy Paypal. Its great to give Ebay buyers some security, but the current "pending" debacle is overkill. Sellers should be notified with every posting if an item sold will result in their money being held. Twenty-one days is arbitrary and capricious. I'd love to join in a class action suit. Any good attorneys out there looking for a case ripe for the federal courts?
