Whats with the freezing the funds? is that a buyer option...

TBH I'd refund him, and tell him you dropped them on the way to the PO and damaged them.

eBay and paypal are becoming beyond worth using.

My wife has had a nightmare with paypal
I wouldnt touch them with a bargepole anymore.

Isnt it ilegal to withhold funds?

It isnt there money after all,sounds like they are trying to keep peoples money to get interest on it to me.

I cannot understand the public and their attitude to ebay/paypal. This is the worst organisation in the country. Yes, I use it but only because there is no alternative and only when I have to.

They fleece users left, right, & centre and still we go back for more. If there was another auction site worth looking at, I would not look anywhere near ebay. If I sell an item I refuse to accept paypal - I know that ebay insist that the seller accepts paypal but it is your sale and your terms.

I transferred £250 from my sons card to my card because I had paid for an item for him. Paypal accused us of money laundering and froze the £250 for six months. As if international criminals would use paypal to launder £250. They also froze our cards on paypal so we could not use it to buy anything with paypal.

I think the word 'Gay' has evolved to mean 'shite' and those youngsters using it don't even see the Quentin Crisp, Pink, Priscilla Queen of Desert, Oscar Wilde kinda meaning any more

last time i sold something on ebay i refused to post it on the basis that its too easy for them to steal a refund. Id rather sell an item for less than risk getting ripped off.

I've found out that informing people you don't have a paypal account or use paypal leaves them looking at you like you've just slipped your todger into their drink.

You'll get the same reaction to telling people your not on facebook.

The horror stories keep pouring in but people keep running back for more.

I used to have a nochex account once apon a time. I've also got a gold account at eBID which i'm sure will come in handy one day

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

By which time he'll have filed a dispute and the money gets refunded. You lose out on fees still!!!

EVERY item posted should go Signed For regardless of if its wanted or not. Even then it seems this is not 100% proof to Ebay that an item is delivered!!

Ebay is so biased towards protecting buyers - its a conman's paradise!!

I still don't understand why Paypal are getting away with holding somebody elses money!

If wanted to pay my friend £100 through paypal they take my money charge me a handling fee and then give it to my friend.
At what point is the money there's?they get a fee to handle it not keep it and decide when my friend can have it/or not!!

Something very wrong here.

i'm guessing this explains why the last few things i've purchased with paygay from outside the country have taken around a month to arrive, previously ordering from hongkong china was quicker than waiting on royal fail
