I have been selling on eBay since 2004 and Have had outstanding positive feedback, however I took a small break from selling for about a year and when I returned to selling this month I was surprised to fine that all of my fees were held... I read about the policy and was not happy but figured pay-pal and eBay have their reasons. However when I went to ship my items i was very upset, all of my shipping fees were held up in the pending balance, and i had to use buyer credit to pay for the shipping. This is crazy. Now I have no guarantee that the person receiving the item will leave feedback in a timely manner or leave feedback at all. I fined this to be absurd, and wrong. If pay-pal and eBay are going to hold the balance at least release the shipping fees so we can pay for shipping. THIS IS WRONG. I plan to sell up till may until I reach the 2000.00 I need to get a project started than I plan on never using pay-pal or eBay to sell again. This has hurt me, and made it very difficult for me to sell and ship items. I meet all the requirements of their list.... I wish they could just release the shipping fees. I find hard to believe that all of this was not planned to begin with.. when you look at it eBay owns pay-pal and not to long ago they took away the use of other payment methods except pay-pal, than they put this policy in place. I bet pay-pal/eBay is making money on the pending balance (interest and all). This is unfair to the loyal sellers on eBay. almost a slap in the face. I'm upset and I'm sure there are many others. So in May I should have reached my goal, I am going to close up shop for good. Pay-pal and eBay have pulled the last straw. Matridium
