I'm not a roook or anything... but I just recently sold something through eBay (few hundred bucks) and today I received an email from PayPal giving me a notice of payment received - please ship item. In the notice it states that eBay is teaming up with PayPal to make payments and eBay items even safer. In doing so they are placing a temporary hold on the funds for this transaction until
A.) The buyer leaves positive feedback
B.) That they confirm the item has been delivered by shipping the item with USPS, FedEx, or UPS and either use PayPal shipping labels or upload tracking information from the transaction details page.
Is this for everyone or is my account set up for this? I'm a verified member with Paypal, never had any bad deals. Can someone please help me understand this? To me it’s like a lose-lose situation - especially in our hobby! Many things we all have are one-of-a-kinds - CAN'T be replaced! To me the buyer could easily receive the item, claim I sent the wrong thing, open a dispute and get both the item and his cash back.
Has anyone ever had this happen to them before? Any recommendations would be great! Thanks for your time!
