I agree! I just joined PayPal business only two weeks ago and believe this is a horrible policy for them to dictate what you can or can't do with your money and when. I can see the hold, I get that. But then release immediately, and if all goes well then drop the hold already. I have an online store and use a drop shipper for some items and sell from my home for others. Either way I'm in a lose/lose scenario with PayPal business! If I have a lot of people buy from my online store where I have to use the drop shipper I cannot afford to purchase their items for them. They pay me by ordering my items, I then purchase their items and have them shipped to them. If I have several hundred dollars worth of sales at any point I cannot place the order because I do not have hundreds of dollars just laying around to purchase others peoples items without reimbursement for however many days PayPal decides to give me back my money. And if I sell to someone local I meet them to deliver their products. So, no tracking number, no payment for 21 days. And not all customers will leave feedback... so another 21 days on those sales. 21 days is ridiculous! Sounds like PayPal is trying to earn interest off everyones money for a few weeks or something illegal going on. I used to love PayPal, for personal accounts I do.... I cannot stand working with them now. Does anyone know if there is another company like PayPal to accept payments at online stores, but NOT PayPal. Nothing would please me more at this time then to take PayPal right off my website as the external payer.
