PayPal has frozen funds, which placed a financial burden on me in fulfilling orders. I fulfilled the orders with tracking numbers and have 100% positive feedback. As of the last day of the month, I will owe over $20 for eBay fees, which are above and beyond the fees already paid to PayPal. Together, they get at least 30% of sales. Anyhow, I am sure the hold will still be there come the end of the month.
This is what I plan to do: if PayPal/eBay refuses to lift the bogus freeze of funds on my account, I will block them from taking the over $20 out of my account at the end of the month. This would cause my account to go into the negative, which would mean that in the end I lose money and actually end up paying for people to have the items I sold. I know this is another scam by PayPal in an attempt to make my account go negative so they can charge additional fees. I will put a block on my bank account, and I will even pay to do that. PayPal needs another class action lawsuit over the continued mishandling of funds.
Never, ever, ever use PayPal. If you do, do not think for a second that the items you sell on eBay will make you money. You will end up losing money, and then lose money again when eBay collects the fees. When you are selling, be sure that you not only have money to pay the shipping out of pocket but also to cover eBay fees, since PayPal will freeze your account, making it impossible for you to have access to your funds. I will never use PayPal or eBay again. Use Craigslist, seriously, or go to a pawn shop. By the time you pay PayPal fees, eBay fees, and shipping, plus go negative in your account, you will end up paying eBay and PayPal so you can give your items away.
This is bogus.
