richg 0 Posted December 16, 2011 just had an email from paypal saying that any payment i recieve will be held by them for 21 days. has anyone else had this load of bolox applied to them. nothing i have done to prompt this my ebay feedback is 100% (only 79 feedbacks).never had a complaint. there are a number of catagories i fall into on the link below but it is still crap think i might set up a new paypal account and use that until they do the same again. https://www.paypal-marketing.co.uk/safetyadvice/PaymentHoldsForEbayItems.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've had a few over the years and have just forwarded them to the bank who claimed to have sent them. Haven't had one for a while Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

richg 0 Posted December 16, 2011 I use the name Rich Greenslade on paypal so they have the correct details. I have forwarded it to the ebay spoof email address and also sent a message to paypal.never had any fake emails before i am usually really carefull. I paid for a christmas santa visit at our local football stadium on paypal recently wonder if it is something to do with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fr499y 0 Posted December 16, 2011 I never trust any emails like that, not from the bank, not paypal, not ebay.

They can make mega money on the interest if they apply this "new" rule to other accounts. For every 17.38 people where they apply this rule it will make one years interest at equal amounts held, BASTARDS. I would talk to trading standards to confirm this is an acceptable practice or not.
