    And even tho it says its 5 to 7 working days it always seems to go through much quicker... maybe this is what the others mean??

    I've withdrawn money 4 times now and 3 of those times its taken 7 full working days to show on my bank statement. I've often been left a little frustrated at the time its taking and once began to wonder if I would see the money.

    Paypal is great for buyers, but crap for sellers if the buyer decides to file a claim. Trouble is, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. Sellers who don't offer Paypal don't get as many bids as they would if they did offer it. I wouldn't offer Paypal on high value items. Too much risk involved if you ask me.
