]]> Comment on Why PayPal is holding my funds for 21 days? I’m being punished for being exceptional. by Ray Anderson http://somethinginteresting.com/2012/04/01/why-paypal-is-holding-my-funds-for-21-days-im-being-punished-for-being-exceptional/#comment-472 Ray Anderson Thu, 03 May 2012 16:26:39 +0000 http://somethinginteresting.com/?p=788#comment-472 The original poster has it right. I have 14 years on ebay. It has been some time since i sold anything on ebay and decided to sell a few items to help clean out my house of items I don't need. I was shocked at the hoops they require a 14 year veteran to go through just to sell a few items. Nevertheles i plaid the game and then I sold the maximum nearly every month during the 90 period where they treat you like a security risk. I put up with the holds, but then Paypal began breaking it's own rules. I would get an estimated funds release date and weeks later (well over 21 days) I would not have my funds. There were no claims, not one negative feedback and my seller dashboard continuously rated me well above standard. In fact, ebay raised my selling limits a couple of weeks early. I had one incident where a customer was unhappy (blackmailed me) and I refunded 100 percent and allowed the customer to keep the item. There was never even a dispute or claim. I just took it upon myself to do the refund to avoid any chance of negative feedback. Well that started it with periodically keeping my funds over 21 days. No email explaining why - just nine yards of Paypal arbitrary and quite unjustified. When I communicated with Paypal and asked then to explain why they were doing this they pompously commented about how I should read the rules and how they could implement holds for safety reasons. I replied suggesting they read their rules and stop holding funds on packages that were delivered weeks ago. I further asked them to provide any evidence of any risk factor that cold possibly be applied to me as I had an excellent record. I received no reply, but then they got impertinent and started holding every one of my payments over 21 days. Now that Paypal has shown the best customer service It is about to be my turn. We will see how the company line holds up as we proceed. Having had 40 years as a retail analyst, training and holding seminars on customer service issues with corporations all over the country I can speak with some degree of expertise when dealing with these eBay/Paypal issues. No doubt ebay/Paypal needs to acquire some good legal advice and some competent consultants who might recommend some improvements to their risk management vs. customer service posture. Thank God I have a great living and only play on ebay. I feel a great deal of sympathy for the thousands of sellers who have a worst enemy when dealing with this schema that seems to be the offspring of mad men.. If this is the best ebay can do in terms of safety then It is clear to me that they have learned little to nothing about the significance of customer perception. If I had to relay on these entities for a living I would have gone postal by now. The original poster has it right. I have 14 years on ebay.

I purposely listed these with "No International Shipping", which limits the potential sale, yet they received only 2 bids; one from Italy and one from Australia.

I was bored at work and decided to look for something interesting, and surprise, I found this site. That aside, I would like to let you know that you are not alone. There are a few god people in this world, and I'm glad to hear that you continue to be one of them despite inconvenience and even actual monetary cost. Integrity is a valuable thing, and I'm glad you're keeping yours. I wish you the best. I have no idea who you are or what this site is about.
