I sold an inexpensive item—$5. I only take Paypal. A couple days later I received noticed that the item was paid. I sent it out and then did a transfer of $50 to my bank account to use as part of Nov rent. Several days LATER I got a notice that they were freezing my account and reversing the transfer (which was short just a few dollars because of the frozen account.) At first they said there was a problem with the seller’s backup credit card. Then they said there was a shipping problem with the item IN SPITE of the fact that I used THEIR shipping and the buyer had left positive feedback about how fast the item arrived! Turns out it was a problem with the buyer clicking on the wrong card and instead of Paypal trying the OTHER card, they just froze everything. Now my rent will be late. i will have fees to pay, and I only made about $4 on the item to begin with. (Finally got sorted out but they had the nerve to send me an email saying I would not be LIABLE!!!!!!) I am so sick of both ebay and paypal.
