Paypal, how long are you keeping my cash.

[matty83]

I thought it was only through Ebay.com that you had to wait for your cash to clear?
21 days i think it was.

Now i have just sold two things on Ebay.com.au (2 days ago) and the payment is "pending" WTF?

Is it because i have sold on ebay for a few months?

Seriously, im over this crap.....NO MORE EBAY!

Am i meant to wait until the payment has cleared before i send the cards?

So then my DSR's go down???????

God i wish there was an easier way.

I think i may give COMC a go.

Found a sight called ecrater haven't looked into it yet but maybe an option

 

[matty83]

cheers mate, i will keep any eye out for it

You will find that a payment is usually marked as "pending" because the buyer has no funds in their paypal account and do not have a debit card or credit card linked to the paypal account and all payments are made by transfer from their savings account.

This has happened to me many times and it usually takes 3 to 4 days before paypal consider you have received clear funds and they suggest that you do not send the cards until the funds have cleared. You do not have to send the cards until you receive clear funds.

And don't think COMC are any better. Do a little bit of research and you will see that if you want to "cash out" then they keep something like 20%.

It normally states that the funds have been kept because of the stupid seller rules... and tells you when they will be avaliable!

I hate the fact that eBay is pretty much such an essential part of this hobby!

I've been tempted to sell a few cards over the last few months but have always done without as there was no way I was going to wait 21 bloody says for them to release my money.

Yeah, it is cleared into Paypal's account, but THEY don't release it to you for 21 days. It is a rule they implemented for sellers who haven't been proper;y verified, or have only sold a small amount in the past.

I get it too, it is stupid, but, as a buyer, if something went wrong, at least Paypal has the money and I will get it back!
