Page 1 of Effing Paypal

WTF is going on with Paypal?
I sell some crap on ebay and get immediate (buy-it-now) payment.
But one of the payments (out of three) is being held until I either get positive feedback, or 21 days elapses?
When did this come into effect?
So I`m at the mercy of some gimp that may forget to give me positive feedback, or I have to wait 21 days.
Meanwhile, the buyer is enjoying their purchase. >:(

I`m gonna stop using ebay and paypal now. They clearly don`t want me as all they do is think up new and inventive ways to screw me over when selling anything. Its off to Amazon Marketplace and Play Trade with me.
Who`s with me? Join the revolution people!

(there is a part of me though that wants to spite them and hang on in there as long as I can as they are clearly just trying to get ride of the average people)

A little while ago, I think it`s to do with the star ratings. Yes it blows and yes it`s all part of the masterplan to get rid of casual/hobby sellers.

Did you send them the item before payment going through then? Only asking because I`m not up to date on the eBay/Gaypal changes.

Do you seriously think that`s what they are doing? If so, why? And if so, eBay = f***ers.

Yes, ebay tells you it`s ok to send the item, as it`s they who are holding the payment, not the buyer.
Weird that two other payments were received `normally` though.

Yes, as mentioned there is a memo out there supposedly from eBay bosses (and never refuted by them to the best of my knowledge) which sets out the plans for the future of eBay. Casual sellers aren`t part of it :(

F***ers. I thought the memo thing was a joke. :(
