Hi ,I,ve only recently joined ebay, and opened up a paypal account,and up until the weekend past my only activity has been to buy small inexpensive items and i paid with my debit card that is logged on with paypal,but at the weekend I actually sold an item for £30 + £16.80 postage, the buyer paid instantly, and today i logged on to paypal to view the transaction and pay for the postage as i,m ready to send the goods, But to my dismay I found that Paypal have put the payment on hold until i build up sufficient =credit rating and they have said that the money can be held for up to 21 days,, which does,nt help me, as I now can,t send the goods as i do not have any funds for the postage, and I have notified the buyer that I,ve had to cancel the sale, to be truthful I do realise the Paypal have to be careful, but, what i don,t get is..I,ve already bought and paid for 4 items, but this apparently does,nt count,,I,m now thinking that being a part of ebay and Paypal is more trouble than its worth..and i,d be as well closing my accounts as i can do without this kind of stress, Avril.
