PayPal holding funds question

[drcy]

The seller should send the item right away. Paypal is merely holding the funds for him, and establishing good shipping/received item/positive feedback is in his interest going forward. After all, Paypal does this with a newbie to establish that he is a legitimate seller.

This.

It's on HIM to get the card to you THEN paypal releases the money to HIM.

You shouldn't have to wait.

1) tell him to ship now
2) if not, ask for a refund
3) if he won't go to PP for a refund and you'll get it

Thanks for the replies.

I just opened a case since he won't budge one bit. He has zero feedback so the neg I leave is going really stand out.

Here is paypal's position on the hold...https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/...n-hold-faq1377

It says nothing about his needing to hold the item. In fact eBay expects shipment pretty quickly after payment is received and payment was received, technically.

He is obviously a new guy who does not know the ropes. I know it is frustrating but not sure I would give him a negative over it. Maybe you can send him the link above and he will feel better about shipping?

He earned a neg, I tried to explain how the hold works and that he might get the money faster when I left a positive. He replied "don't care, I'll ship the card wnen I get paid,not one day sooner"

Oh...He is a new guy with an attitude. Gotcha. Fire away. Maybe he will learn from his mistakes after the neg.
