eBay and paypal gayer as the days go on
So I sold a few things on Ebay and guess what paypal now holds all funds until the items have been recieved.
Quote:
Ship now
Payment Status: On Hold - Ship now
Make sure to ship the item right away, so you'll have access to the funds sooner. We'll release the hold in 21 days unless you receive a dispute, claim, chargeback, or reversal on the transaction subject to the hold.
We may release the hold earlier if either of the following occurs: the buyer leaves you positive feedback on eBay, or we confirm that the item was delivered.* We can confirm delivery if you ship the item with USPS, FedEx, or UPS, and either use PayPal shipping labels or upload tracking information from the transaction details page. This applies to transactions within the United States

its a lot harder to scam

i bought a set of ttops, won them like july 3rd... paid july 5th.... by the 21st i still had no tracking number and my parents said they never came so i opened a dispute and then a claim on the 25th. Seller never responded still. Yesterday paypal reveiwed it and gave me back all my money. So in my case, i dont mind it one bit, it helped me. And i have since bought another set which were already delivered.

Only if you haven't sold something in a while. I sold some things for the first time in a while 4 months ago and they held the funds till after delivery, yet I sold some more expensive things last month and the funds were released right away, go figure.

I have almost 300(1 neg in 5 years) feedback and I always have something for sale on ebay.
I have sold 21 items worth over 2500.00 in the past 30 days alone but all the payments I've received in the past week or so have been accompanied with that message.

i think there are fewer disputes like it is now. at least if there is a dispute, you don't have to chase the seller down.
