“Livid” starts to sum it up but still doesn’t cover the anger I have about this issue. I received my “notice” about this early this morning. I have called PayPal and emailed them. Here is my beef: I don’t sell anything on eBay. My PayPal account is strictly business. I am paid for services rendered. And still they tell me that they will be holding all my funds for up to 21 days - even tho the transactions has nothing to do with eBay whatsoever! Luckily the funds in there now are free up until this morning. I am transferring that money out and thinking about shutting my PayPal account down all together. This is just another way for PayPal to make money off our money from interest! I am contacting anybody and everybody that I know that uses PayPal to warn them. PayPal is going to loose alot of business because of this screw ball they threw!

Paypal is holding moneu from 8 of my buyers! Since I have no money to ship their items, THE BUYERS are not going to get their items. OR THEIR MONEY! Paypal is withholding any refunds, as well! What do you “disgusted buyers” think about it? Do you think that they should be able to hold YOUR MONEY! I have 100% positive feedback, eamil to my customers when items ships and send tracking numbers. They have no reason to freeze my account, but they did anyway. Now people who bid and won the items can’t get the item or their money back for 21 days! Oh yeah! That really screws THE SELLERS! Dugh!!! The buyers are ALSO the being screwed
by paypal. WAKE-UP PEOPLE!

That’s 5 star right!!!!! That’s how it is with a lot of sellers! We pay you fast and YOU make us WAIT in the dark after we paid!! To those whining sellers, I say: how does it feel to WAIT for paypal and not have a clue of what to expect??!!! Get YOUR act together and you’ll get the BUYERS money owed to you through paypal faster!!!

GOOD PLAN only if it worked! ebay Buyers like me pay upfront, contact Sellers. then too often have to wait and wait for replies and shipping. They don’t notify if delayed, and then get into s twist, send insulting messages when asked about item delivery! But they all think they deserve 5* ratings and damn the Buyer for not giving 100% 5*

21 Days?!! I wish PayPal holds 10% of my money for 90 days…. And for no reason whatsoever. I am a very good customer!!!! Holding my money is completely unjustified…. I gas I’ll have to take my business elsewhere… Google Checkout seems as a very nice place.

this little paypal scam goes well back before e-bay bought them, and is the reason i will not deal through paypal in any way, as a buyer or seller, or buy from anyone who’s only payment option is paypal.

The message forums on Paypal are swarming with this - people are livid. And they are saying that if you complain to PayPal or make a stink, your account freezes all together.
