paypal funds on hold moan

so when Paypal says your funds are on hold until you receive positive feedback, their system isn't really linked directly to ebay is it?

I have received positive fb for an item I sold but the funds are still "pending". it's bloody annoying.

and the 1p refund doesnt seem to work now either.

how long does is take for them to release funds?

:mad:

    It takes 21 days. Normally the money is freed if they leave positive feedback, but if there is a glitch in the system as it hasn't logged the positive against a held payment, it will be yours after the 21 days has passed.

    And yes, eBay is directly linked with PayPal as they own them and completely integrated PayPal into their systems.
