E-Bays and Paypal relations

[jabukanac]

Hi my question is related to a sale i have made few days ago and find my self in being stopped from using E-Bay for some time due to PayPal limiting my account to be clear this is what hapen ,

I made a sale for $1800 AU and buyer responded correctly paying with PayPal ,when i check my account PayPal placed a limitation on using my account for any purposes ,which brings me back to limiting my ability to use my E_bay (eg:paying for a purchase i made)

I have contacted PayPal and this is what i was told that limitation is due to there requirements with goverment regulations about money laundering and antiterrorism act ,Which does not make any sense the act clearly states when and how should any transaction be monitored and investigated which concerning E_Bay sales or purchases should not be applicable to already verified customers from both organisations E-Bay and PayPal ( it is my opinion that PayPal is abusing this to gain control of larger amount of money leaving there accounts so they can have benefits of there own such as interest or investment before we can satisfied there unnecessary documentation again and again ,to cut this story short i think that E-Bay should take this matter seriously and ask PayPal to change there attitude because effects

E-Bay and there customers

In the User Agreement you will find that paypal does have the right to hold funds until they are satisfied that the buyer is going to get the items. This often happens with high value sales from newish sellers.

You will probably find that the funds will be released when the buyer has left positive feedback for you.

If the funds are not released hen you can threaten them with reporting to the Banking Ombudsman...and do so if hey do not release the funds.

It is not unusual for Paypal to require you prove your identity by providing evidence like your passport, driving license, recent utility bills etc when there is a sudden change in the usual pattern of use.

If you can provide that proof then your account should be released and you may be able to withdraw the money however for such a large amount Paypal may put a hold on it for a further 28 days or until the buyer leaves positive feedback.

In your listing you state:

Winner would be charged for Paypal charges due to high fees from final sale and listing postage would be standard Australian post (insurance by choice of Bayer)

I dont think you are actually allowed to do that.

Also, you sold $1800 worth of gold jewellery and you posted it by regular post!

Are you for real?

You'll be lucky if the item actually arrives. I can smell a paypal claim for item not received happening here.
