Re: Money on hold yet again

Exactly same situation here mate, sold a PS4 Pro 8 days ago it arrived on the 20'th with tracking etc. Paypal just won't release the funds infact they flat out told me today it's going to be on hold for the full 21 days it's pure **bleep**.   Ebay have confirmed they authroised the release several days ago, so it's fully paypal at fault.   If I did this to someone I would be arrested. Just because these provide a service to people doesn't mean they have free regin to steal. ... View more

Sherwin 18:10 PM At this point, I'd like to ask you to extend your patience for a little bit more and contact PayPal again, but this time with this eBay reference number: 1-101167527267. Please tell them we've advised you to contact them again as the funds is already showing as available here on our end.     ^^^ This is from my livechat with the ebay rep two days ago. I have messaged paypal with that number and they are still messing me around saying they are holding my funds until feb it's pure bs they know the goods have arrived. ... View more

Firstly you charge me £10.59 fee and provide the most terrible customer service for it, so thanks for that you joke of a comapny.   The issue at hand   I sold a PS4 pro on ebay Wenesday the 18'th Jan, It was posted via parcelforce with tracking the following day and arrived to the buyer on Friday 20'th, the buyer left good feedback the same day.   Paypal have had my money on hold since the item was sold ever though there own terms of service state 3 days aftere delivery well it's well over 3 days and I get no reply from sending them multiple messages just the same generic **bleep**.   My money needs to be released today, i'm sick of big companes taking people for mugs and messing us around, you're no better than a common street theif.   It's all to profit off the interest you make from the hundereds of thousand you're doing this too day in day out what a scum bag compay ...

Same bs here I sold 3 items on ebay 5 days ago for a total of £900 all 3 were sent via parcelforce with traking and arrived the following day. The buyers have left feedback.   All 3 payments were put on hold, 2 were released last night but the third is on hold until Feb 9th, this is total and utter bs, items posted and arrived tracking and feedback prove it yet these clowns want to hold my money till Feb 9th.   To make matters worse the two payments which did clear I withdrew earlier was told two hours but ohh not they are both now listed to clear in 3-4 working days this company really is the pits.   We need an alt and fast, someone could make big bank by taking these scumbags out of the game. ...
