I'm having a similar sort of issue. The buyer initiated the payment, including the shipping fee, and is now waiting for the item. Unfortunately, paypal has not only put a hold on that money but all money in my account. So now I'm stuck in a catch 22 flavored chicken egg with both edges of my sword too dull to cut air. The hold wont be lifted until I can show that the item has shipped but I can't buy a shipping label because all my money is on hold. What exactly am I supposed to do? The whole reason I'm having to sell my belongings is because I lost my job when Colorado went on lockdown. I'm literally living penny to penny as I find ways to squeeze whatever little bit of money out of anything I own of value. I wish I had $50 to just buy the label (Insurance was very expensive) and get on my with my life. Even if I could somehow put quarters through my router into paypals bank accounts I still wouldn't have enough. It's so frustrating. And embarrassing. And sad. This is such an unnecessary struggle. Why can't ebay or paypal cover the $50 while they have nearly 50x the amount of my money on hold. Money I'm desperately needing and they don't seem to acknowledge that anyone, in this current situation, might be struggling. Not everyone is lucky enough to have the cushion that some do. I'm sorry to rant but I have no doubt that there are others like me, that don't know wether to laugh at the absurdity of this situation or just let the tears out. Both at the same time maybe. Seems to be appropriate.
