Only a MORON (and Buyers!) think Sellers selling on approval (what it amounts to!) is a "good" thing. I'm NOT PAYING PayPal for the "privilege" to ship MY Merchandise UNPAID (if it's not CASH in MY HAND it ISN'T PAID FOR) AT MY EXPENSE TO SOME AZZHOLE WHO *MIGHT* PAY ME....    BOTTOM LINE, THERE IS *NO* UPSIDE FOR THE SELLER IN THIS SCENARIO--THEY DON'T HAVE THEIR MERCHANDISE, THEY DON'T HAVE THEIR MONEY AND THEY'RE EVEN OUT THE F_CKING POSTAGE. AND THEY GET TO SIT AND WAIT AT THE BUYER'S CONVENIENCE TO PICK UP THEIR MAIL (THEY'RE IN NO RUSH--THEY KNOW THE SELLER IS WAITING SO MANY BUYERS DRAG THEIR FEET PICKING UP PACKAGES. IT'S A POWER TRIP THING--THE BUYER *KNOWS* THEY HAVE THE SELLER OVER A BARREL AND THE BUYER IS JUST GONNA TAKE HIS/HER SWEET TIME GETTING THE PACKAGE AND THEN EXAMINING THE MERCHANDISE WITH A MICROSCOPE *HOPING* AND *PRAYING* FOR THE SMALLEST FLAW SO THEY CAN SCREAM THAT THEY ARE "VICTIMS" AND HOW THEY'VE BEEN "F_CKED OVER".   BOTTOM LINE, F-CK THESE ABUSIVE BUYERS AND F_CK PAYPAL--UNLESS THEY GET RID OF THIS 21 DAY BULLS_IT I'M DONE WITH THEM   ----     WE KNOW WHO THIS GUY BELOW VOTED FOR--THE "GREAT" "LEADER" WE HAVE NOW 😉 LOL   --- DJDoubleXL wrote:-- As the victim of a scam on Ebay, I think it's perfectly fit that funds are held. I still have no resolution, but hopefully, if this works out i get my money back, since I never got the item.   If you can't afford to spend your own dime on shipping on money that you'll get back eventually, you shouldn't be paying for an internet connection...or the digital camera you bought to take the pictures of that item.   This is business. Large or small, people often have up to a 30-day waiting period for services/products rendered. There's no reason any of you should be any different. If it was a more perfect world, there wouldn't be scammers, and this wouldn't be necessary to protect the BUYERS...you know, the people who help you make money. If you're at all serious about selling your item and protecting yourself, you'd know this is the way to do things in the real world...if not...go to craigslist. ... View more

I hear ya! It's beyond ludicrous PayPal expects Sellers to pay OUT OF POCKET for everything they sell, wait 21 days to MAYBE get paid back (for the Postage/Shipping) and to FINALLY GET PAID and TO HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS "PRIVILEGE"!   No wonder the Buyers are happy with this--it doesn't cost them a damned DIME and they can take their sweet time going to the Post Office to pick up the package after the Postal Carrier has left MULTIPLE notes on their door that a package has come for them......   Let's cut through the BS here:   21 Day Hold=PayPal Doesn't Want Your Business ...

so you had to call 4 times to get YOUR money AND you paid PayPal a cut for this "privilege" AND you had to come out of pocket for the shipping/postage?   that is LUNACY.   Tell PayPal to PACK SAND! ... View more

IF YOU HAVE AN ONLINE WAY TO PROVE DELIVERY TRACKING NUMBER SHOWING "DELIVERED" OR A USPS DELIVERY CONFIRMATION NUMBER THAT SHOWS "DELIVERED" GET THE PAYPAL IDIOTS ON THE PHONE AND TELL THEM DELIVERY WAS MADE ON DATE "X" AND WHY ARE YOU STILL HOLDING MY FUNDS????????   AND DON'T SETTLE FOR THEM TELLING YOU, OK, WE'LL RELEASE THE FUNDS WITHIN "X" NUMBER OF DAYS (FROM THE DAY YOU MAKE THE PHONE CALL)--****MAKE**** THEM* START THE FUNDS RELEASE "CLOCK" THE DATE OF DELIVERY (MAY 27TH). SO IF THEY GIVE YOU SOME BULLSH_T ABOUT WAITING 7 DAYS, YOU FIRE BACK YOU'VE ALREADY WAITED THE 7 DAYS! RELEASE THE FUNDS __T_O_D_A_Y_!__   AND IF THEY SAY "NO' OR GIVE YOU SOME B.S. STATE "SO YOU ARE REFUSING TO RELEASE MY FUNDS?" AND ESCALATE IT--DO NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER! CUT THEM NO SLACK--THEY CUT YOU NONE!   YOU HAVE TO STAY ON TOP OF THESE CLOWNS--THEY DON'T CARE! ...

MasterCard is getting MoneySend going: http://techcrunch.com/2010/06/03/mastercard-takes-on-paypal-with-moneysend-iphone-app/   Looks like it's got a way to go before it matures though....PayPal was easy to use but their heads got swelled--kinda like what happened to Quark Software in the Publishing business until InDesign came along and blew Quark out of the water...   Bottom line, just like with Quark, until someone comes along with something better than FeeBay and PayPal, Sellers are STUCK with them--and their ridiculous restrictions...... ...
