"But if you don't want to go through the new seller hold like EVERY OTHER seller on ebay including myself has done then you don't have to use ebay or paypal do you, just close your accounts?" Oh really? i've been a member since 2012, and still this is happening, even after a representative PROMISED me that that this would stop, and its completely arbitrary, apparently out of 4 identical iphones that were parts not working, 2 of them were marked as being higher risk. HOW COULD THIS BE? Well apparently, the buyers are the problem, due to an abnormally high number of disputes filed by these buyers the payments were held as pending "to protect me" of course. What paypal were essentially saying was "these buyers cause a lot of problems, so instead of penalising them, we are instead going to hold the funds just in case, that way we can satisfy their demands, protect ourselves and **bleep** the seller" Rather than protect the seller from a bad buyer, we are hung out to dry so that paypal can please any buyer at any cost. its a very handy way of acruing interest, not that they don't make enough money on fees anyway. kernowlass, you volunteer around here? you seem to be so far up paypals **bleep** that your no help at all, you do a lot of posting here, but its all just regurgiutating the same rubbish that the customer service reps spout off. dont you think that the people here have heard all that garbage from the customer service reps already, without also hearing it from you?
