Hi. I sold an item last Friday for £99.95. The buyer had 1 feedback and had also joined ebay that day. So I checked the transaction on paypal and it said the address was confirmed and it was safe to send. Would like to just state that I have recently had a few new buyers and when I contacted them they said they were on ebay as 'guests' and I had no problems with the transactions. Anyway I Posted the item royal mail 2nd class signed for the same day. Approx 5 hours later I recieved an email from paypal to say the the monies were being held due to unauthorised payment and I should not send the item. I looked at the resolution centre and it told me to upload the proof of posting which I did. I have heard nothing else from paypal for the past 5 days. I wrote to the buyer who told me that there was a problem with his payap account but not to worry. Since then thebuyer has ignored all my messages. The item has not arrived as there is no recorded signature and the tracking just says it progressing through the system. I am down the value of the item and don't know where I standd. How long do paypal take and why is the buyer not responding. I feel like I have been robbed.
