sounds like the same kinda scam the banks pull waiting for a check to clear. you know it cleared immediately, they just want to hold your money for a few extra days.

I hate paypal even more than ebay..they both need to die in a fire
same thing happened to me a year or so ago........after 10 emails with all proof, 6 phone calls, and 2 faxes, I finally started yelling at the top of my lungs and using every cuss word I knew. they passed the phone call on to a manager, 2 seconds later all was good
I suggest you do the same.

I love paypal, but damn those fees. I upgraded my account thinking I would get a break, instead now I pay 3.9% on everything!
Before I upgraded I wouldn't even get charged a fee at times...
But I don't know of a better way to send/receive payment for an item from person/person on the internet...
I've actually had quite long talks with my sister-in-law about implementing a barter system. She works for a company and we would have access to software for it. But it's one of those things that only works if a decent size group of people are interested, all or nothing kind of thing..

I only ever sold 1 thing... it was a collector matchbox car I found. I sold it for 99 cents with 3.95 shipping. I lost money as ebay charged me like 3 bucks to sell it. I'm sure I wasnt doing something right, but I swore I wouldnt sell again. They just sucked it right off my paypal.
Paypal is a pain in the ***, but it's a savior as well. I almost got stuffed on an ill fitting header. After no response or help from the vendor, paypal gave my money back. Otherwise, I would have been stuffed.

Now. My experience with eBay was only as a buyer. And it went VERY well. I bought a Millenia S supercharger for 230 bucks. Looked waaayy too good to be true. Got it in the mail, and? Minimal oil in the intake and by the time I got into the thing and pulled the screws (rotors) from the housing- I found that the unit was in prime condition and that it was ready for action. Then I fucked it up when re-assembling it and screwed myself out of 230 bucks and a way under priced supercharger.

Don't even get me started on Paypal. I was in the turbo blanket group buy and this is what happened. This is part of the PM to Zabac trying to explain the situation:
Apparently there was a problem. Paypal charged my blanky purchase to my bank account which had insufficent funds in it. I don't know what happened. When I checked out I clicked on the "add funding options" but it kept referring to my bank account with my credit card. I even logged out and logged back in to see if it was a fluke and it kept doing the same thing. It said it would use funds in my account and if there wasn't enough it would take the remainder off my card. I thought this would be ok...WRONG! It charged my account twice then used my credit card. Now I have 2 NSF charges at my bank! I'm so pissed. I called paypal last night and got the run around. I'm calling again tonight and reading them the riot act to try to get this sorted out. I'm so sorry this happened.
According to the email I got today,your payment was sent out earlier.Please call me if there is still any problem. After this, I don't trust paypal at all. Hopefully there is still some blankys left. It's been almost 2 weeks and just now received the emails saying there's a problem. THIS SUCKS! I'm inches from closing my paypal and going back to money orders.
This is the first problem I have had with them but it was enough.

One Personal Account - No fees for accepting payments, can only receive payments originating from a bank account, or PayPal funds. Can't accept credit or debit cards.
One Premier Account - 2.9% + 30 cent fee on every payment received.
Give your buyer the option, and make them eat the fee.
Each account needs to be tied to a separate bank account.
I've done $150k+ in PayPal transactions and haven't had one single problem. I will say that they don't do a good job of explaining that if you "upgrade" to a Premier account, it'll cost you to accept payments.
