"Let Me Just Click This Button" : A Paypal Story
I've had a pending balance for quite some time and could never figure out why. All of my transactions had shown "completed", nothing showings "funds not available yet". All of my items had been delivered, all buyers have left positive feedback, etc. So, I decided to call Paypal and see what transaction was pending and why.
Took the rep a few minutes, but he found the transaction...from October. After talking with him, he said he had no idea why it was still pending and that it should have been released after 21 days, even if there was no tracking info or anything. Mind you, this buyer already left positive feedback in October, and YES it should have been available 3 days after that...or even if I had to wait 21 days that would've been OK. Not 80+ days, which is weird.
Anyway, the rep told me he would be able to release the funds since it had been so long and there were no issues (such as a case opened), etc. He LITERALLY says "let me just click this release button here....OK, now the funds are available in your account." What else can they do with "just a click of a button"? Limit your account? SURE!
Point of this story...I find it so funny that he let me know he was going to click the "release funds" button. We always talk about Paypal and Ebay just clicking buttons that will affect your account, and it is absolutely true. |
