skypinkblu Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I received this on 11/16, which is interesting only because it was dated 10/29. In any case, they are announcing some changes.

skypinkblu Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 So, it looks like they have been making some changes. I haven't sold on eBay in about a year, so I guess I'd have to start from scratch as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PayPal started to get their act together a few years ago for international transactions, seem to be going backwards now. more steps for buyers and sellers 😬 as well as long wait periods for accessing funds I am sure that is part of it, but they also flag accounts and hold funds for waffle sellers and people that use F&F as well most of the time they just close those accounts.

Chief1332 Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Sold 3 books within the last two weeks. All were PayPal transactions. On the larger purchase, PayPal withheld funds until delivery was confirmed. There could be an amount where this policy of withholding funds begins. OR, on the larger purchase, I invoiced the buyer vs the buyer sending me funds. Not sure if that made a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief1332 Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 What is most upsetting irt PayPal withholding funds, when they have capability to release funds right away, they will do so IF I pay an extra 1.5% on top of the basic transaction fee. So upsetting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicmeta Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Sounds like mostly Priority or Express mail if using USPS since you will have to have a online verifiable tracking number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaard Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 So we get our money if the USPS does their job? Because there has never been a screw-up with the tracking number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 It's tough with Paypal being the "Go To" method for payments for so long. But there are other options....transactions via Zelle and Venmo have been hassle free for me when sending AND receiving payments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why this is a big deal since I send customers tracking #'s. However, I'm not sure if paypal is updating their website so that you have to put the tracking # in the payment from the customer. Normally If there is a dispute the first thing you usually send are the tracking #'s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I thought it was interesting that it took them 2 weeks to send it out, so I figured perhaps they were in the midst of changes. greggy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that if I send you money for a book on your site you won't be charged a fee. Same with Zelle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
