So sounds like those things are for "Buyer Protection" - are they adding anything to protect the sellers? john | gear | web hosting deal for POTN members!

The buyer was a nice guy, so I had no problems, but if he hadn't left positive feedback I wouldn't have been able to touch the money for 21 days. I DID put in valid tracking info, but PayPal couldn't tell it had been delivered. Very poor choice, but I guess they keep getting people scammed with bogus gear. It's nice when you're the buyer, but lame when you're the seller. Hello, my name is BEN

I used USPS so no Tr.No. Buyer doesn't let me know whether he received the item. So, what, 21 days? eBay is already bad enough with all the scams. Not sure if I'm ever gonna set foot (hand) on there again. 40D, XTi, Tamron 17-50 f/2.8, 70-200 f/4L, 50mm f/1.4, 430EX, stuff

You can't even use the money on hold to pay for shipping. They are now apparently an escrow service. Rich Only if you're a new seller and/or high risk and/or selling high risk items AND selling on eBay. It doesn't apply to everyone. Did you lose Digital Photo Professional (DPP)? Get it here

canonloader Cream of the Crop  More info | Nov 25, 2008 08:23 | #11 No reason to go to eBay with it unless it's broken. BWWWAAAAaaaahhahahahahaha. Ain't that the truth. This sounds like a great move by PayPal to me. There are more honest buyers than there are sellers out there. Not that all of them are selling broke junk. Mitch- ____...^.^...____

This change in TOS is on the ebay selling agreement, not the paypal site.

So if somebody here wants to use ebay for a coupon, you the seller will have a delay in getting your money. Rich Re-read what I wrote. Did you lose Digital Photo Professional (DPP)? Get it here

Nothing went on hold, and everything sold was under $100 each. $90 was the highest. However when I listed my guitar at $2000 a warning telling of the hold popped up, So I knew before I committed to the auction that the money would be held.
