    A Important Piece Of Info If You SELL On FleaBay....Gaypal SCAM
    as of Jan 28,2009 paypal has decided that it will now hold the money buyers send to you through paypal

    paypal demands you ship your items....BEFORE YOU GET PAID

    they state that after you receive positive feedback....and it shows (if you buy a shipping label thru paypal) that the item has been delivered...the funds will be released

    this is a flat out lie...as I just recently sold something for a small amount $200...I received positive feedback...and its shows through UPS tracking the item was delivered....THE FUNDS WERE STILL ON HOLD BY PAYPAL

    doing a little more research I came to find out that paypal reserves the right to hold the funds for UP TO 180 DAYS...until they deem its ok to release them to you...regardless if the buyer has already recieved your items...even after the 180 days...there is still no guarantee you will receive the funds

    speculation around this new policy centers around paypal holding millions of dollars and collecting interest on the side while the funds are in a freeze...who knows

    well after doing some searching I stumbled around a little 'magic trick' to take the funds off of hold...and make them available instantly

    this is more like a one time 'magic trick' because im sure paypal wont be too happy you are telling them to take their fraudulant scam and shove it up their ass...and your acct will be terminiated

    in hindsight...I find it quite hilarious they would be upset for gaining access to what it rightfully yours...but in any event...dont be surprised if you do this....that your paypal acct will be closed

    myself personally...I dont give a rats ass as im done with paypal and ebay all together...yes there are some good deals as a buyer...but you have to dig deep...as ebay caters now to power sellers and not to everyday people..they cater to scam artists who sell bulk junk from hong kong...and regular people selling stuff...get their funds held and are told to ship out their items before getting the money...wTF?

    so anyway...if you ever go to your paypal account...and you see a hold placed on funds for a item you sold...and you know its been delivered..and you know the buyer is happy...then all you need to do is this little 'magic trick' to get the funds taken off hold...you wont find this information on the ebay forums...if you post it there...you will be banned on sight and the post removed

    what you need to do...is...do a partial refund to the person who sent you the payment....myself...I refunded the buyer like 50 cents....AND BAM FUNDS WERE TAKEN OFF HOLD AND WERE INSTANTLY AVAILABLE

    I have the paypal debit card so I was able to run down to the ATM and get my coin...if you dont have the debit card...you should be able to withdraw to your bank...im sure many of you know paypal employees are nothing short of adults with down syndrome...and by the time they get around to your acct...you should have your money

    I also recommend taking all credit cards and current bank accounts off file with paypal after doing this (that includes canceling any debit card with your bank that you have on file with paypal AND closing your current bank acct and reopening a new one with different acct numbers and routing numbers)...like I said..this is a one time thing for the people that have no idea about what paypal is doing...this is for the people that want to get their money and run far away from these scammers

    I wouldnt put it past these fraudulent 3rd world non english speaking pieces of trash....them going into your acct when you werent looking and taking YOUR MONEY AWAY FROM YOU AFTER YOU EXPLOIT THIS GLITCH IN THEIR SYSTEM

          I closed my ebay account b/c of all the buyer friendly policies. They make it very difficult to close (wait 180 days, they contact you to see if there is anything they can do). I suggest anyone who sells semi-regularly just resort to craigslist and paypal.

            my gf bought me an Astroboy watch off ebay for my birthday. The ****er from Hong Kong didn't even bother to send it. She never got her money back.
