I hate PayPal's new "protect the customer" technique Posted by Daze on August 11, 2009, 11:59 am 69.145.220.22 for those of you who don't use Pay Pal much you probably don't know about it but PayPal has set up a new thing where on some payments they put the payment "Under Review" that means they get to hang on to the customers money for 24 to 48 hours before freeing the funds. I don't know what the criteria are for a payment to be reviewed, but it cant be that tough to qualify for a review. I have had sever customers payments get reviewed and one of them had purchased several things from me in the past with out issue. The worst part is, its the consumer that gets hurt because I can't ship out product until I have the money and I don't get the money until the payment is reviewed. As a whole I have been really happy with payPal as way to sell my Mustang parts but I find this latest change a little irritating to say the least.  Post a Response

And the problem is, this won't affect them likely and they'll do business as usual(stealing). LarryK  Post a Response

I had someone offer to buy an item and said they would deposit the money in my Paypal account. I then received a very official lookung e-mail supposedly from paypal with the paypal logo and everything saying that the funds had been deposited into my account, but would not be available until I sent paypal shipping tracking info after I shipped the package. Luckily, I figured out it was a scam and contacted Paypal, who verified it was indeed a scam. Close one, as the item I was selling was for $1500  Post a Response

I still send money orders and the sellers have all been happy to accept them. They say they can't advertise that they'll take a money order, but are happy to do so.  Post a Response

I wish I could keep my life that simple Posted by Daze on August 16, 2009, 10:30 pm, in reply to "Re: I hate PayPal's new "protect the customer" technique" 75.175.234.198 I build and sell Mustang parts for a living. I ship all over the world and do not want to get a credit card machine, so I am stuck with using PayPal as it is more universal. I also take money orders but PayPal is my main payment option. Over all I am happy with them and I hate to compline but this latest technique seams like nothing more than an excuse for them to hold my customers money.  Post a Response

They have already "jumped the shark" so to speak. Everyone is moving their stuff to craigslist.  Post a Response
