I have had an account with PayPal for over 8 years. last week on 15 Oct 10, I made a simple (less than $50.00) purchase on e-bay. And, because I used a credit card I always use, you would have thought I tried to rob the bank. 5 days later and I just received a confirmation that I am who I say I am and the seller is still waiting for PayPal to send money to the them. PayPal told the seller that it will be 25 Oct 10 before they receive anything.
Anti trust laws should be invoked and paypal made to go away. With all their rules they compound confusion to the situation, adding cost and delivering poor customer service. While the empty box is still sent. I say go back to letting the seller and buyer make a deal on payment and go for it.
