Pay Pal doesn't care about the buyer or seller any more. All they want is to use our money for there fictitious 21 days and could care less about what is right or wrong. Customer service is a joke when you can get a live person they are arrogant. If you want to speak to a supervisor good luck. They will transfer you to another line and no one will pick up. Have proof of this as they left me on hold 3-10-10 for 20 minutes with no response I finally hung up. They are a joke and as far as I am concerned as soon as I can get all pending transactions complete (probably another 30 days) I will cancel . PS you really can't quit using them as long as you have transactions in their system.   Did you ever try to email them. They give you only certain items to email. You can not just send them an open email.   I sold items to a particular buyer who has always provided excellent review on feedback. You would think that would show Pay Pal that there is no reason to hold any payments between that buyer and me for any reason. Wrong Pay Pal's full intention in this new policy is to hold everyone funds as long as they can. Same old deal use other peoples money  as long as you can. I see responses from Pay Pal to others about if the customer (buyer) leaves positive feed back they may release your funds sooner than 21 days? There is no reason that Pay Pal has any reason not to release your funds immediately if buyer sends positive feedback.   Last time I wrote in this forum I receive a reply from Pay Pal advisor stating to look at their investment account. What a crock they want to pay you .005 far money you put in account and by they way the account is not protected in any way. How stupid do do they think we are. Ebay had better resolve this issue or they are going to lose customers over this Pay Pal issue. ... View more

Just think how much money they (Pay Pal) is holding on any given day? I would venture to say that they have that money held in an account that draws them intrest ... View more

This policy of Pay Pal (eBay) holding my funds for 21 days is totally wrong. Your placing the seller at the mercy of the buyer who received item and can  wait to respond to feedback, give bad feedback, or not even respond.   My question is this. Money Pay Pal is holding is probably drawing interest while they have it. Now I am a dumb country boy but just how much money could they be holding in any 21 day period. If they are then you as the seller should be entitled to that interest. I have been a member for 10 years and have never had any bad feedback. However just because I do not have 100 or more buys or sells they are holding my money for 21 days?   Why should I continue to use pay pal?   I called them to talk to a "live Person" took 10 minutes to get one, then she could or would not answer any question, so when I stated I wished to lodge a complaint she put me on hold for over 15 minutes and no one ever came back to phone? I tried to sent them an email put this problem is not one they have for you to pick when trying to use their e-mail service. What a crock! ... View more
