    I think RS is asking why it takes so long to put money into your Paypal account? 7-9 days seems silly, I guess they do it for security reasons.

    i think thats very trusting of you jps, the reason they do it so they get to keep your money as long as possible so they earn interest on it.

    Never really thought of that divadee! That is so sneaky of them. Paypal really do take advantage of their customers don't they? But at the end of the day, what is the alternative? Especially with it being inter-linked with eBay. And I know I say it a fair bit but I like people to know...Paypal is owned and run by eBay which is a discgrace as they take money to list an item, when it ends and then a chunk when you receive your payment, and if you transfer less than £50 they will take 25p for themeselves too. And oh of course any interest they will make on it while it is sitting there now you have pointed that out divadee!! Grrrrrrr:mad:

    I'm gonna set up a new online payment system - Paymate ;)

    dont forget and this one really winds me up, is that ebay take their fvf just on the auction price not p&p but paypal take their fee on the whole payment, so you lose money on the p&p as well.
