I sold 2 items on eBay, The first item was sold and paypal decided to put a hold on the funds for 7 to 21 days, Oh well I thought the second item will cover my postage and at least I can get the items to the buyer. They say 7 to 21 days but it Would be In fact be less than 7 days providing I got the items to buyer and could prove to pay pal that the transaction went smothley they will clear the money after 3 day of the customer recieving said item. Second item sold and no hold was put on funds, So I proceeded to withdraw funds to my linked bank account and it clearly stated that funds will be ready within 2 hours so I pressed continue. 2 hours passed but no funds in my account. I noticed that I had revived a email confirmation of the transaction and it now states my fund can take 72 hours to clear. as a result I am now stuck 200 miles away from home waiting on the funds. If they had said 72 hours from the start I would have made an alternative plans to get home ie I would have transferred a small percentage to a family members account of which they could have transferred then to my bank account. This is the second time in as many months that this has happened and I am not happy . I think it is time to make an official complaint I need some sort of compensation for this event.
