Default paypal ripoff merchants

Not only do they take money off you when you sell somat on ebay, for some stupid reason they have decided to keep hold of the funds from an item i sold yeasterday for 21days!! i have 100% positive feedback, never had a dispute against me or f**kall!

I am gonna knock ebay on the head and close my account down i think. This is the cherry on the cake-I have had people not pay for items they have won and i cant leave them negative feedback?? Whats that all about!!

Rant Over-Pished off!!!

tell the buyer what's happening and refund them a penny it should release the funds straight away, well it used to cos of a loophole, i did this last year when it happened to me a couple of times, just make sure you inform the buyer so he doesn't think anything random is going on

i cant believe ebay myself.

I sold a set of wheels for 410 quid and had to give them 45 quid for the privilege.

I can sell a 100k car on autotrader for 26 quid but 400 quids worth of wheels costs me 45.

Joke.

Why are you complaining? Ebay is what the 3rd of the worlds economy aint it? You can sell ANYTHING on there such a massive footfall...how can you complain at the charges i for one think they are very reasonable considering!!!!

havent used ebay for ages now due to the stupid rules etc; it favours the buyers and fucks over the seller

plus; you may get the odd bargain now but nowhere near as many as you used to get

Thats nothing, had a friend sell a couple of high end comps as a job lot (Macs with the bad ass Apple screens), £4k through paypal. They held the money for more than 3 months, some thing to do with possible money laundering.
