Default Typical

This is pretty typical from Ebay, esp. if you are a new seller. However, as a long time seller I've had Paypal withhold payments several times. They also do so in case of a customer complaint...but sometimes for no reason at all. I believe this is actually criminal, as paypal has no right to withhold funds from you. Both Paypal and its owner ebay, do many things that border on the illegal and are downright banned in other countries. Like in the U.S. Ebay basically forces its seller to use Paypal and if you actually would take a money order, you "cannot" actually say that on any of your listings. However, in most other countries esp. the UK and Austrailia, Ebay tried to do that and got slapped down from their govts.
