Hey guys,
I recently sold a machine on ebay. The buyer paid through paypal (which seems to be about the only method of payment you can use there) and I got a notice saying that there's a 21 day hold on the payment, or until the buyer leaves positive feedback, or until there's shipping confirmation. Problem is, the buyer is picking it up himself. I don't sell a lot on ebay, and this is the first time i've encountered this. I'm not sure what to do. I don't know what could prevent the buyer from picking it up and saying he never got it, or leaving negative feedback. It just seems kind of ludicrous for paypal to expect you to basically hand something over with no "real" payment. Especially when you have 100 percent feedback and have been a member for nearly a decade.
