PayPal: You Gotta Be Kidding, Right?

As we enter into the 10th day of being unable to accept our pending payments on PayPal, many of us international etraders are bearing the burnt of it. Not only are we suffering from loss of business, we are losing our hard earned reputation and not forgetting bank interest.

Not every Buyer is understanding or patient. They do not care if the money is cleared or not. They just want their purchase as soon as possible, which is not unreasonable. So what if the money is not in your hands as long as they have already sent it?

Some Sellers have been accused of running away with the money. Most of us caught in a jam are honest traders. We do not run off with people's money because eBaying and etrading are long term businesses. But PayPal's glitch is making us all look bad.

The worse part is that nobody in PayPal or eBay has openly acknowledged this issue. What we are left with are poorly written replies from Customer Service without details as to WHEN this issue will be resolved.

We're trying to be patient, really we are, but try doing that when all the Buyers are pestering you for their items.
