Now I actually worry more about paypal than ebay.

ebay is of little use if I can not access my funds.

they run ads on how great it is to sell on ebay and how people make money selling stupid stuff, but the reality is 1. for a new account you can sell 10 items a month and 2. you don't get access to your money for a week to 3 weeks. it just drives would be new ebay seller away. most people want to sell stuff right now, they don't know about growing accounts, they just want to clear their house, not bits and pieces at a time. then when you couple it with holding the money for a period of time even if it is just a few days, people will just say forget it and have a garage sale. 3. if new seller has to call ebay because his account is limited and they get some guy in Mumbai - 'nuff said.

a lot of people that sell on ebay are also buyers on ebay. at least they were in the past. I would rather see the site grow than get smaller. adding sellers makes it bigger. throttling sellers just drives them away.

of course I am assuming and giving new sellers the benefit of the doubt that they are not scammers. I guess my complaint is more tied to ebay than pp itself but since they are one in the same I just lump them together.

I am happy about any holds on my money, no of course not, but that's life sometimes and you have to roll with it.

eBay themselves bump you down the listings sometimes on older accounts.

It's bad for business. The more money you have available, the more you can purchase and grow your inventory. 21 days hold is absolutely ridiculous.
