Paypal

thanks for all your inputs...as it turns out paypal in this particular case is the not the "problem" as I see it...I was dinged 4 times in the past years ebay evaluation period (if a seller, see your ebay seller "dashboard" for the ratings) for shipping charges even though on every single sale and shipment, money has come out of my own pocket to pay for all or part of the shipping charge which includes insurance AND delivery or signature confirmation...Now I have changed all my listings to free shipping so the few screwy, unfair buyers out there won't have a chance to leave a "1" or a "2" feedback on shipping costs...if the feedback (DSR?) on any of the 4 FEEDBACK CATEGORIES drops below 4.8 you are screwed and banished to the "poor performance" group (all my other feedback categories are well above 4.9)....keep in mind I cannot find even one feedback in the past year with a negative word said....but because I have been temporarily (ebay reviews the feedback numbers on a monthly basis) banished to the poor performance group, with any ebay transaction that is paid through paypal, the funds are held in limbo for as long as 21 days....seems wrong unless there is a valid reason...definitely not in this case....Bruce Perry
