i sold an Item on Ebay around 7 days ago. I got told that my funds will be released into my account on the 31st of January. I had a quick look at my paypal balance now it's saying it'll be available January 1970????????   The package has been delivered to the buyer and everything has gone smoothly. Why does paypal hold onto my funds and make even more profit on it?     ... View more

Hi there. Yesterday I put an item up for sale and someone has purchased it. i'm fairly new to online selling. I only sell items that are worth maybe 15-25 pounds. I got PayPal'd the 115 pounds and everything went through. Usually I get my money straight away but for some reason it's saying I'll get my money on January 1970.    Another thing I'm a little confused about. It was a brand new ebay account that had purchased an item over 100 pounds. I just find it a little fishy. Could any help me or advise me?   Here's one payment I got from a buyer around 5 months ago. I knew I wasn't going to be scammed by them. [img]https://i.imgur.com/XAXV7jD.png[/img]   This one right here just looks a little fishy IMO [img]https://i.imgur.com/Oy4wSYb.png[/img] ... View more
