Sarah - PayPal :
Hello, I’m Sarah and I’m here to answer your questions about PayPal. Even though I’d like to be a real person, I’m not. I’m programmed to answer your questions. How can I help you?
You :
Why are funds from an eBay transaction still on hold even though the buyer has received the item, 3 days have passed and he has left positive feedback?
Sarah - PayPal :
Sorry, but your phrase is too long and I will not be able to perform a full analysis. I would be very grateful if you could try to make it a bit shorter and more concise.
You :
Your customer service sucks.
Sarah - PayPal :
Really, that frustrates me... Because I do my best to improve every day. How can I help you?

Sarah - PayPal :
For security reasons, PayPal may delay the release of a payment to the seller, even if positive feedback is left. (Payments are usually released 24 hours after feedback is left.) (NOTE: NEW RULE INSERTED HERE)
eBay and PayPal work together to make the marketplace safer for buyers and sellers by helping to ensure successful transactions which, in turn, can mean more sales for you.
If you see On Hold-Ship Now next to your transaction, this means that the funds are in your pending balance and you must ship the item in order to receive your payment.

When the hold will be removed?
Sarah - PayPal :
If your eBay payment is being held, PayPal may release it when one of the following is met:
• The buyer leaves positive feedback after receiving the item. (Payments are released 24 hours after feedback is left.)
• 21 days have passed without a dispute, claim, chargeback or reversal filed on that transaction.
• 3 days after PayPal confirms item delivery.
You can log in to your PayPal account to view the current status of the transaction.

21 days is too much. I'd be [censored] too.
One time paypal charge my credit card as cash advances because I was using CC for non-ebay purchases. They refuse to back down and refund me, and good thing Chase did wave it when I told them what happened.
From then on I make sure I can do every single ebay transaction under the table if locally, even if I'm not the one that makes the profit, just to make sure ebay isn't doing well.

Outside of the windows mentioned above (there was no " dispute, claim, chargeback or reversal filed...") Paypal finally released the hold. I guess they just push that limit....hold your cash as long as possible. Real ethics, for real finance.
They make profit on the interest that accumulates on the money they hold. Currently a class-action suit over that IIRC...

I ordered a soccer jersey on eBay a few years ago. It was advertised as "authentic" but was only half the price of everyone else. It arrived over a month later with postage and a return address from THAILAND, even though the seller was listed in CA. And it wasn't actually an authentic jersey. But I still gave the guy positive feedback! Why? Because it was a d*** good knock off, almost impossible to tell the difference. And it only cost me less than half price of an authentic.
So basically you are saying that you didn't mind receiving a fake soccer jersey since you paid half the price of an "authentic" jersey ?

Of course topping the list of eBay/Paypal ethics: treating eBay users of Paypal better than common swine buying/selling from their own websites. Pure class.
Alright, the sucker closed his eBay store. His feedback has dropped another percent since a week ago.
We were exchanging e-mails last week about where my part was coming from and he would reply to me immediately. But yesterday, I asked him if my order had shipped out yet. No reply.
Now what?

Rule of thumb is if he didn't send you a tracking #, he is lying.
Time to file a item not received case with ebay.

File a dispute with PayPal (if you used them) and eBay.
Did he give you contact info of the shipper? You could contact them directly for help. If not, ask the seller for that info. I noticed in his feedback he gave out a phone number to someone.

I have an auction winner who has gone silent. I guess I'm out the auction fee. But let's see how this turns out.
Ebay wins!

I just bought some norelco replacement blades on ebay "buy it now" last night for $23 shipping included. Walmart was $37 plus tax. I paid right away with my GM credit card through paypal. I haven't got an email from the seller yet this morning.

You can file for a claim on that too. I've done that and recover all but the initial listing fee (like 5c only, big deal).
The problem is if you have lots of transaction per day the labor to do all these filing will kill your business.

I guess I'm fortunate, the problems I've had on ebay as a buyer and seller have been very few and easily resolved.
don't receive item? file a claim, get money back, leave neg FB.
don't receive payment? file a claim after 7 days, get listing fees refunded.
simple.
btw, I've been active on ebay since '01 and have over 1200 positive feedbacks. we run a store selling custom hand laminated switchplates. never had paypal put a hold on my money; when it gets over $50 or $60, my wife transfers it to our bank account, or we spend it w/ our paypal debit card. never had a problem w/ paypal.

I received an e-mailer today stating that the package has shipped. So I guess all is well.
Can anyone confirm that KYB has a warehouse in Conover, NC?
