I have always hated PP, I am going to check out this Amazon payment system right now.

My recent paypal "fuckinthearse" scenario was, as a seller this time.
Sold a part, buyer claims he never got it.
(If they are going to side with the buyer in this case, surely they should make it compulsory for registered post for proof of delivery, that buyer refused to pay an extra $2.50 for)
So as a good will gesture I sent another identical item, hoping that he would end up with 2 and send me back the double up. I had a few delays on other items taking 2-3 weeks which should only take 2-3 days.
Send second item, buyer claims he never recieved AGAIN.
Files a dispute, I had to show proof that I had sent it. I did, scanned the docket and emailed to them as requested.
Paypal rules in favour of buyer, THE FUCK???

This doesn't apply to everyone - as your post kinda might make people think...only you...and a small percentage of papal users. Just FYI. Your account got flagged. Why, I don't know - I'd like to know why though.

Paypal does suck donkey balls. But lets not start a panic! Oh wait...maybe we should....amazon is now accepting direct user-to-user payment. I'd love to switch to them. (I accept amazon payment if anyone wants to know)

Hopefully google will get in the game and eat ebay/paypal's lunch.

That would be obvious by the letter. "Us" would apply to anyone who got/gets the letter. Expecting people to actually read it was maybe expecting too much.




One thing that may have made them flag it is because I don't keep much of a balance in the account my Payal is linked to. Maybe a warning to anyone who does the same.

Zm Bluedevil used a google payment thing. It was really good.

google IS in the game. its called google checkout,

ummmm...yea...So, you're new here, and we kinda have a this rule, that you should know what you are taking about before you post. Just FYI.

Google check out is not for consumer-to-consumer transactions. At least not yet. You might want to put the bong down, Mr. 420.

Hello Josh,

We're writing to let you know about a change to your PayPal account.

Starting 8/30/2011, money from payments you receive will be placed in a pending balance for up to 21 days. By doing this, we're making sure that there's enough money in your account to cover potential refunds or claims.

Even though you can't access the money right away, please ship orders quickly and communicate with your customers. After 21 days, you can withdraw money from each payment as long as the customer hasn't filed a dispute, chargeback, claim, return, or reversal.
The money may be available sooner if:

We can confirm that the item was delivered.
Your buyer leaves positive feedback. (Applies only to eBay items)

This change isn't necessarily permanent. We'll review your account every 35 days and re-evaluate if we should continue to hold your payments. If we decide to stop holding payments, we'll email you to let you know.

Why are my payments being held?
We reviewed your account and determined that there's a relatively higher than average risk of future transaction issues (such as claims, or chargebacks, or payment reversals). We understand that it may be inconvenient to have your payments temporarily held but please know that we didn't make this decision lightly.

Before deciding to hold payments, we consider many factors. These factors include account and transaction activity, the rate of customer disputes, the type of business a seller runs, average delivery timeframes, customer satisfaction, performance and history.

Questions? Let us know
We understand you’d like to have immediate access to the money you receive and we’re here to answer your questions about this change to your account.

For more information and tips on what you can do to avoid having your future payments held, please see our Frequently Asked Questions. To speak to a Customer Service representative, log in to your PayPal account and click “Contact Us” at the bottom of any page.
Thanks,
PayPal

I've never had a claim WTF??
