Thing is alot of people that had positive feedback left are still not getting their money as one person has been waiting 15 days since being left feedback and just keep getting fob off by both ebay & paypal as they just keep blaming each other, this is not good.

I think ebay need to relize that as long as they keep doing this stupid and proberly illegal way of holding people money, that soon all those millions that use it will stop selling eventually.

Countless people & busniess have left ebay due to this new way of holding money one of my fave ebay stores has stopped trading due to this.

Before you know it ebay will start charging you for buying stuff aswell, as their revenue from selling will drop considerbly before collapsing in on itself due to it own self greed.

I just received the feeback for my transaction. Paypal didn't recognise it. I tried to mark it as sent in the Paypal Control Panel and it ******* paid for a RMSD shipping label for £8!!!! ******* *****!!! And they still won't give me my money!!!

I'm so so so so sick of Paypal! [cursing]

[Veronnisa]

it happened to me also. do what i did. I told the buyer of the problem, and i told the buyer, until the money is in my hands, i am not shipping the items. i then told paypal the same thing the buyer after a few days gave me good feedback hehehehe

So let me get this right, you sell something on ebay, and until you get positive feedback ( which I have had to numerous times pm users to do for me ) you will not receive your money? So basically they can potentially earn a months interest on your money if this 30 day rules is right? That seems really wrong, however on the flip side I can see the logic. It is trying to prevent fraud, as a lot of accounts get hacked and buyers get ripped off. It is really a vicious circle tbh, if they don't do it people get ripped off and if they do it is a minor deterrent. Nonetheless this is not a good solution and will only cause many angry pm, with potentially a buyer leaving bad feedback as some kind of twisted punishment.

I've requested a refund on the shipping label. After this, bank transfer only...

[MipRippoomamn]

Well ive been left positve feedback and guess what paypal still holding my money 24hours after it being left.

I've sent 2 emails and got one reply saying the winning bidder as put himself as private which he clearly hasn't as people can see his username so can't release my money until November 2nd.

I really F**cking P*ssed of with paypal that not their money they keeping hold off[cursing].

Once i get my hands on my money they can go F@ck im closing both my paypal & ebay accounts.[cursing]

[EvonsRorgon]

Just sold something on ebay both me and the buyer have 100% positve feedback & my rating is near perfect ie 4.9/ 4.9/ 5.0/ 4.8 but yet ebay & paypal have decided to keep hold of the money until im left feedback.

That it now once i get the money im closing both paypal & ebay account as this what they done is just not right.

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Ebay has been making some REALLY stupid decisions recently.

In your case, I am going to guess that what you sold was something electronic or car based, in which case they feel holding the money is appropriate. Its stupid really..

[MipRippoomamn]

Yip thing is thou this person now could potentially rip me off and their nothing much i could do about it expect call the Police as we all know ebay & paypal won't.

[plaiskegizils]

does not sound right what if the buyer does not leave any feedback you do not get your money? Ebay and paypal are now a joke what gives them the right to hold peoples money for no reason. All i see is fees, fees and more fees.

[EvonsRorgon]

Just happened to me too. Sold a PSP and the decided even with my 100% feedback that they'd just keep my cash until the guy gives me positive feedback...

Didn't happen when I bought a £200 mobo or sold £200 worth of games...

[Lydiaswingert]

I wont sell anything on eBay now, i only use it for buying small items and thats it. If i do need to sell anything then i whack it in the local Admag (SadMag as i call it) everything sells in there [thumbup]

One other reason they keep your money is the longer they have it the more interest they gain from it

[Grewlybreekly]

huh ??



Here, i wouldn´t know how Ebay could even touch my money ?

I sell a computer to Person A on Ebay.
I wait till the money has been transfered to my account by Person A
I then ship the computer.
At the end of the Month Ebay automaticly gets their share according to sales/etc.

Does Ebay work differently over in the States ?

Are you not using paypal?

[Grewlybreekly]

Uhm no ?

[DYjLN8rF]

Uhm no ?

Well, that is the thing - paypal (since it is owned by ebay) is putting holds on certain people's accounts (less than X amount of feedback) when they sell a "high risk" item (cell phone, pda, console, etc), and the funds are released after either:
Positive feedback
30 Days

(i dont remember what happens with a neutral or neg).
