Wow you are angry. Paypal has held mine in the past too, but I didn't go all gunhappy on them. This is what I did: 1. When you ship something, there is something called a tracking number. (I know right? It's super cool!) 2. Take that tracking number, confirm the item was recieved. (still with me?) 3. Give it 24 hrs once the tracking number states recieved. 4. Contact paypal via telephone and they can look into it. Mine was cleared. Yes I was angry because it was a 200 dollar phone sale and I desperately needed the money, but spazzing out on a forum doesn't really get the money any faster. Plus I'm sure it **bleep** them off to read it and now they are going to make sure to hold all of your money in the future. 🙂 Happy selling!

Hello! I sold a cell phone on Ebay last night, this was my second sale of such an item so I do understand the evil concept that is... Pending status. However, the money is not even showing as pending status, it's not showing as existing... At all. The customer paid 171.00USD last night, Ebay confirmed and still today my paypal shows a big fat zero where it should at least say 171.00USD pending. Any thoughts? Ideas on why this is happening, or how long it should take for the money to hit? Every other time I've sold anything or had money transferred into my paypal, it was instant and seamless. Please help. Thanks so much 🙂
