I actually have clients who started withdrawing money out of PayPal on a bi-weekly basis. By that time most payments have been released, or at least a good flow gets going so you don't really notice. What happened at the same time was they had more money in PayPal at a time and they started earning more interest. They were pleased with that. :) The money that sits in your account, whether on hold or not, is your money and YOU earn interest on it (if you have your account setup as a Money Market account).

If these funds are held in ineterest ebaring accounts then paypal is profitting by using our money and charging us for using their service. Don't get me wrong I think paypal is a good thing but i do wonder how many millions are sitting in held accounts! I agree with the idea that this reduce the amount of unhappy users of paypal.

The SELLER is requesting that you do so in order to get their money before they ship your item. That's exactly what this is supposed to prevent. If you buy something from a seller sending you feedback requests before they even ship your item I would deny it and request that they either send your item right away or simply give you a refund so you can buy from somebody else. If they won't send you your item until they know you're happy then that along is saying something and I wouldn't recommend wasting the time with it. If they're a good seller they'll have no problem waiting until you've received your item and are happy to have access to that money. I'm a little confused when you say "the seller hasn't even posted the item yet.." How are you getting a feedback request if that's the case? Anyway, when you buy an item don't leave feedback until you have it and you're happy. Simple as that. If that doesn't happen you will get your money back and you won't have to go through charge-backs to do so. eBay is not asking you to leave feedback before you have your item.

It couldn't be farther from the truth. If you really see all my posts on the internet you'll see I have PLENTY of complaints with both PayPal and eBay. Mostly from a technical view, though. I mean, really, think of it in the most basic of terms. If you're running a company and you're losing boat loads of money on charge-backs and scams from sellers not sending items what wouldn't you try and stop that some how? Is it ideal? No. But the point is, it's here and it's here to stay. If you want to move to other sources for buying/selling product that's perfectly fine and you have every right to do so. If you want to continue utilizing eBay as a valuable marketing tool, though, you'll have to learn to work with things like this. That's my only point.

Do they expect me to LIE about my eBay experience with the Seller? Take the feedback questions, for example: "How accurate was the item description?"... Excuse me, but I cannot answer that question until I see the item! ... "How satisfied were you with the seller's communication?" ... Excuse me, but winning an auction, paying for an item and shipping the item to me does not require communication! ... "How quickly did the seller post the item?" ... Are you kidding me? The Seller hasn't even posted the item yet! ... "How reasonable were the postage and handling charges?" ... Excuse me, but that depends on how well the item was packaged, how much it weighed as well as the quality and speed of the service! Now, am I supposed to predict all of these factors and leave positive feedback based on my prediction? This would mean that my feedback is a complete fabrication! Does it take dishonest feedback to release a Seller's funds? Are you serious? PayPal better sit down with their legal department if they think they're going to get away with telling customers to LIE about their eBay experience!!!

And it's not a matter of getting hacked. If you've got a protected system and somebody gives away a username and password to that system it's no longer protected. Users give away their credentials (unknowingly) all the time and it causes big problems. PayPal is countering these problems by introducing policies like this. PCI compliance is another animal entirely and I can assure you that PayPal is indeed compliant. It’s not PayPal that is gettting “hacked” it’s their users. And it’s not a matter of getting hacked.

PCI compliance is another animal entirely and I can assure you that PayPal is indeed compliant.

If they cant keep their site from getting hacked and other people using others accounts to rip people off then it is not a safe way to do transactions. I would think they have some PCI compliance issues. Sorry but what PayPal is doing is wrong.
