Ebay and paypal SUCK!!!!!!

[Spot Me 2]

I just sold something on ebay and the buyer used paypal. No paypal is holding the money for 21 days, but I am so post to ship it now. It paypals new safety policy. I will get the money faster if the buyer leaves me positive feedback.
This will be my last sale on ebay!!!!!!!! We all know that sometimes buyers just don't leave feedback or it tacks them a while to get around to it. I have 100% feedback on selling over 75 items. This is no longer good enough. Paypal feels the need to now hold the money someone sends you for 21 days.
I am DONE with paypal and ebay. They rape you twice by charing you to sell and then charge you to collect the money. Now they rape you a third time by holding the money.
I jst wanted to let people know who haven't sold anything on the bay for a while.

Ive never had that happen to me yet. Something has got to be up with the payment. Your buyer may have not had the funds in his account and it came back making his paypal account negative. Call them.

Sounds about right to me. spot you may have an issue with your account. Ive sold and bought a ton of stuff off of ebay and with paypal and never had that issue. He may have paid with an e check.............and no you dont have to ship until the money is deposited....someone may be trying to scam you, it may not be ebay or paypal in the emails........check the info in the headers of the emails.

post up a copy

He has the money in his account. I called and they said this is a "NEW" policy of Ebay because I am not a power seller. I have sold a ton of things before also. This is new. It only applies to things sold on ebay, not on funds transfered for selling elseware like here. I contacted Ebay to find out about this. I am waiting to here back.

This was on our account? or in an email?

On my paypal account!!! I called and talk to a person at paypal. They said this is ebay's new policy.

[rockwerks]

what is your ebay moniker? its says that you must have had negative feedback to hold the funds

Paypal says the factors that will play into its formula for triggering a hold include the length of time a seller has been on eBay, the seller's feedback rating, and the final cost and shipping fees for the item.

just dont take paypal any longer, this will kill their business.

Id cancel the auction and refuse the payment from paypal

[Spot Me 2]

I don't have any negitive feedback and have been on ebay for 6 years. I guess the final cost must be too much???
My ebay name is notforsale328.

I sold a sidekick slide this morning. Listed it this morning, sold it this morning. Paypal went directly to my account. I shipped it this morning, I used the funds to buy a Jet drive for the Fastech!
No "new" policy applied to me! He must have used an e-check or some sort of escro type thing.

[ghostofpf1]

Sounds like a ploy for ebay to get 21 days free interest on your dough...

The buyer used an instant transfer. Paypal has the money. He didn't use a echeck. The money is just sitting there. I don't know what the problem is.

I got paid tonight. Maybe the policy just started. I don't know what the problem is. I do know its holding up a member on here from selling something!!!

OK. I called back and talked to someone in the U.S. this time. It seems I have had too many buyers not leave feedback in the last 6 months, so ebay flagged my account as high risk.
I have no negitive feedback, but I am highrisk??? because lazy people don't leave feedback?? I think I am done with ebay!!!!!!
