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 |
