Paypal - Making Changes To Screw The Seller All of the Time!

Wow! Paypal sure has changed and not for the better. I started receiving payments for the 12" Star Wars figures I sold. Because eBay is starting to make all users deal exclusively with paypal, each of the buyers paid with paypal.

Here's the kicker: since I started a new paypal account for this challenge, paypal is holding my payments for 21 days! The only way I can have the payments released before that time is to prove delivery of the items (i.e., tracking number which confirms delivery) or receipt of positive feedback on eBay for each specific item. That sucks! What if I didn't have extra money laying around and I needed the shipping expenses, paid by the buyers, to ship the items?

Just another example of why eBay and paypal are nothing like they were in the good old days (i.e., until recent management took over). But I digress...

The items will be shipped tomorrow so I'll be able to use that money soon.
