E-bay is going down the toilet, I got in a war with Paypal they have kept thousands of my money stating they could not confirm my address for a credit check and the value of the items being sold puts them at risk for chargebacks Although the items all received positive feedback they locked both my e-bay and paypal acct for 180 days stating they will release the funds after that time period. Whats the point of selling stuff if You can get your money. 800 + positive feedback with 100% feedback and thats what I got.
I threatened too sue them and join the the lawsuit that started dec 19th in Calf federal court for the same claim keeping funds for No reason.
This is what e-bay sent back
Regrettably e-bay is no longer able to communicate with you about this matter. We are not in the position to provide you with any guidance in legal matters. If your attorney wishes to contact e-bay he/she may do so.
thank you for your time
e-bay customer support
One of my many calls to Paypal (over 4 hours spent) yeilded this statement.
Take whatever legal actions you feel you need to take you will not get your money or acct back for 180 days we are not a bank and FDIC regulations do not apply.
I even called the senior ebay east cost mgr who I had met at a function and he sadly stated we know we have some problems with paypal and our hands are tied theres nothing I can do they control everything. Altough e-bay ownes paypal they dictate all the $$$$ to and from and you cannot reach a viable contact to get anything resolved. Nice answer
Good luck with the New E-bay !!!!!!
