Sandman77 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 hello! 5 weeks ago, I sale first time something to USA to a buyer from Russia ! It seems Canada and USA have other rules that I don't know before! PayPal hold the money back until buyer give positive feedback! After sale I send parcel out one day later confirm with tracking number! The problem the buyer don't response to email, and also not give any feedback , the bad truth PayPal hold my money back for nearly 6 weeks! In the meantime I see some other auktions people offering also money brookers in the Auktion , would could mean that PayPal loose, his exclusive rights, in a lawsuit to be the only payment method on eBay! PayPal not reply to my email where I discribe the problem! I think I change to money brookers now, but at the moment I don't know nothing about this company! How much and how many procent the charge sending money to Thailand? What online payment company,have the best exchange rates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chivas Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I wouldn't bother using Paypal for anything but the most menial of events. They are a law until themselves and invariably when you do eventually get an email response its an automated answer from within Terms and Conditions. Useless and unless you really need their service than avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derifo Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Never again will I use paypal. Deducting $1 from my card for no reason is a criminal act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolbreez Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 They will hold that payment for 90 days/3 months, after which it will be released. There is no way around it. In the future with more sales you build up your reputation, and these holds will not be placed. If you are selling from Thailand you can expect this to happen if you are new selling with less than 100 feedbacks. Thailand does not have the best of reputations for people selling from here. There are lots of scams, and paypal is right in checking you out to make sure you are honest. It is a shame not all people leave feedback, but that is their choice. They might be choosing to not leave feedback rather than give you bad feedback. All payment avenues charge basically the same 10%, paypal just does it in two forms, Moneybrokers does it upfront. If you use Ebay then use paypal, then you have recourse if a sale goes bad, or the people you sell to have recourse. It is a safety net to protect the best they can from scams. If you use a different payment method then you give up this protection, and buyers will be leary of buying from you. Paypal is owned by Ebay, and fully supported by Ebay, it would be foolish to use something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyLew Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 If you have issues with paypal, call them directly You will get a better explanation and is a lot faster than waiting for an e-mail As mentioned above, the more you use paypal, the less likely they are to hold your funds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
