This is so upsetting. I have been a member of Ebay since 1998 and I have used PayPal reluctantly for all the years I know, I still think the rates charged are way excessive, but, I'm still using them so...... but today I made a payment to a seller for a computer, and I log on now and I see an email from the seller asking me "why did you send me a pending payment?? I expected to be paid right away with PayPal and I dont know why you are withholding payment to me?".... my first response to this was.... WHAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT? pending payment? then I think.....is this guy scamming me?? did I send my money to a fake?? but now I find out PayPal is doing this intentionally......are you kidding me?? if this is what they are doing there should be a notification before you hit the "Pay with PayPal" button that......."Your payment may be withheld from the buyer for up to 21 days, all parties in this transaction should be aware of this policy....... click here to accept terms and make payment"....... now that would have helped.... but now I have an angry seller...and why??
