I am new to selling on ebay, recently learned Pay Pal is owned by ebay, (what is that called when you're charged fees twice, "not allowed" to use any other forms of payment, EXCEPT Pay Pal???...I think it's called DOUBLE DIPPING INTO THE "GOOD GUY'S POCKET!!!) I just sold an item on ebay for the first time, to find out, there's a fee/charge for "this", charge for "that", now Pay Pal is holding MY MONEY Hostage, until THEY decide to fork it over! However, I did notice, they felt quite comfortable, taking "their share," right off the top, w/out any sort of "holding" on their end!!!!!!!! Here I'm just trying to get by, make ends meet, selling whatever I can, etc., to take care of my family in these hard financial times for many of us....and what do I find out??? "Congratulations, your ebay item has sold, your payment has been recieved, (and NOW we're going to hold it hostage, until we see fit!!) I was counting on that money, to cover some necessary family expenses!!!! NOW I find out that I've gotta wait, 21 days (so they say..we'll see if that holds true or if other "surprises pop up), wait for the buyer to give positive feedback! I had NO IDEA, THIS IS HOW IT ALL "WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!" What a rip off!!! Then to probably make matters worse, (since as I said, I'm "new" to selling on ebay), I just went to local post office and sent out item, paid for it outta MY pocket, then I just noticed there's a "print shipping label" area! So now I probably WON'T get my money, I'm sure Pay Pal, will say that I didn't "follow the rules" and thus KEEP MY MONEY!! Does any1 have any suggestions?? I welcome any/all sound/reasonable advice as to getting MY money from Pay Pal!! Thanks!
