I have a - ( - ). I completed a job for a customer, I hand delivered the parts, and the customer is happy with the results. Unfortunately, the customer wanted to pay via credit card, so I used PayPal to process the transaction. The payment cleared, but PayPal is holding the funds for up to 21 days. Not to mention the fact that they take an additional 3 to 5 business days to transfer money to my real bank. I called and spoke with a PayPal customer service representative as well as a " specialist ''. Both reps were nice, and tried to be helpful, but the earliest they are willing to release my funds is by next Thursday, - -. This is amount of time is ridiculous. I understand that PayPal needs to earn interest on my money, and the longer they hold my funds, the more interest they make. The longer they hold the funds, the greater number of bills that I have are going past due. My credit rating is being destroyed while PayPal makes money. And I paid them nearly $100.00 to process the credit card transaction. And I 'll have to pay to transfer the money to my bank account. Most people agree that electronic commerce is nearly instantaneous - why is it necessary for companies to withhold funds for ridiculous lengths of time? I 'm being punished for doing my part, providing a quality service, and delivering on time, only to have PayPal not release my funds until it is very convenient for them.
