PayPal held my money for 3 weeks after sale
May 18, 2008
PayPal complaint
PayPal held my money for 3 weeks after the sale of an item I sold on Ebay. PayPal gave me the run-around on 3 different times. So I filed a complaint with the State Attorney General Office where PayPal is located. I got my money in short order after that! PayPal is owned by Ebay and they had better get their act together real soon or a lot of people across the country are going to have bumper stickers that tell the whole story about Ebay and PayPal. It will not good public relations for Ebay or PayPal. That may become a fact!!!

PAY PAL HELD MY MONEY FOR 10 DAYS WITH NO EXPLANATION!!! I HAD TO CALL SEVERAL TIMES AND THREATEN CONTACTING THE STAE ATTORNEY GENERAL!! THIS IS RIDICULOUS!! LAST I CHECKED, THE MONEY FROM EBAY SALES IS OURS. NOT EBAYS, OR PAY PALS IN ANY WAY. THEY ARE FRAUDS. I WILL NEVER USE PAY PAL FOR ANY OF MY AUCTIONS AGAIN!!!!!!! WORST MONEY EXPERIENCE EVER. THE ONLY REASON THEY GAVE WAS EBAY HAS CONTROL OVER PAYPAL FUNDS AFTER A SALE. THIS IS BAD BUSINESS, FROM NOW ON I WILL ONLY ACCEPT CHECK OF MONEY ORDER.

You didn't say for what reason PayPal held your money? 

 

I have a hard time believing you just contacted your SAG and walla! 

 

I actually had a similar situation with PayPal, but it was because the buyer tried to pull a scam and complained about the timing. PayPal investigated what they consider reasonable/unreasonable time frame. 

 

We stated on our shipping info that the "item would ship within 3 business days of auction end and payment received" The buyer tried to say that they would RECEIVE the item in the 3 days.  

 

PayPal took 3 weeks to investigate the complaint, and obtain the documents proving we did not violate anything. From auction end to the buyers' door was a total of 7 days 

 

As for the buyer? We emailed and emailed and called and called during the investigation to ask what happened? The buyer maintained silence... When the money was turned in our favor 3 weeks later, they went WILD telling us we sold them a broken item, we didn't get it to them in 3 days it was 7 so we were "frauds"... so on and so forth... 

 

So again? Why was your money withheld?
