It's happened to me several times as a seller. They hold the instant payment as "pending" Wont release it until you get positive feedback or send them delivery notification. Their idea of keeping sellers in check. My response to them after several calls was "why when I have 100% satisfaction and outstanding feedback. Thier answer, Standard procedure. I say in short just deal with it when you have to and also PAY PAL CAN BITE ME ! :-)

I sent two E mails to paypal and got no satisfactory reply...just "stock answers" I then called them to find out why they sent an E Check for my purchase instead of an instant money transfer. Again the lady read from a "script" and after asking her several times why they handled it this way, she finally told me that they have instituted a new "security" measure. When a purchase looks suspicious to their Computer, it decides to send an E Check which can take 10 - 15 days to clear. Is there any way to prevent this....no.. ... since no human gets to see this transaction. This might happen in 1 - 2 % of the transactions that they handle. In my case the amount was $185.00 and it came out of my bank account instantly but their computer decided that it might be "suspicious" ! So hopefully this information is helpful to anyone using Paypal to make payments. I've used them many times in the past and never had a problem until now. John VE3AMZ
