paypal 21 day woes
 

infant stealth ebay and pp account so i have the 21 day hold on funds at present

but as pp requested and i quote "get hold of your funds faster by sending your item trackable, via royal mail recorded or special delivery"

so a buyer buys a £60 odd item from me, the customer is in the eu so i send the item international recorded signed for delivery... costing me extra money but its the only way...

i sent item same day as payment fell on me, 4 or 5 days later i send a polite friendly email through ebay to the buyer asking if the item has arrived yet... no reply
leave it another 4 or 5 days and i email again no reply, i check the track info to find that the item was signed for 3 days ago! but my funds are still on hold... the buyer has not left feedback or confirmed that the item has arrived yet the tracking info which i submitted through ebay when sent item says it is in the buyers hands.. yet funds are still held and will be held if no word from the buyer until 23rd sep

so why is it there recommendation i send items recorded to get access to the funds sooner... only to nothing at all

so...

my question is do i get ebay on chat and point out the situation ? do i email pp to tell them about it ? or wait until 23rd... making me look as if i have not even sent the goods at all

i bet they will ask me to provide tracking info on the 23rd...while i already have done

ok ok its not all the earth but this money means its steak or burgers for tea :pop2:

Be a vegetarian :boink:

Until you 'get' the creds with paypal, you are going to have to 'chase' after your own funds. Terrible but a fact.

paypal put out a whole heap of stuff inferring funds would be released if x,y, or z was done. Lies....
Decide what you are most comfortable to do & chase up funds release :pop2:

I agree, I have had to do this several times as buyers for whatever reason sometimes could not be bothered to leave feedback, even after polite requests to do so.

It isnt affecting them and paypal should use the tracking information to automatically pay you once they confirm delivery, but as GB says, why would they bother? Its more time for our funds to rest in their coffers...

Send the emails to pp, polite but firm. Its your money, you have done all that was asked of you, now you want paid...

Steak it is then!

woes... :pound: who says that, i put initials not to get a ticking off and still got edited :juggle:

hard to be veggie with all the sheep around

Just to cheer you up :thumb:

:focus:

this is going to happen for some time yet. These are the days to get the account solid.

Are you doing anything about feedback etc? Encouraging the buyers to play properly, leave the feedback. Allow you ,in turn, to earn high DSRs?

interesting

thanks :clap:
