I am fighting with paypal to release my funds right now as it is now 6 days past the confirmed date the item I shipped was at the buyers door. I am now asking for a refund of paypal fees they charge you to accept money for things sold on ebay.
That is not true. I sell stuff on eBay all the time, including several items in the past month. On all occasions I have immediately withdrawn my money after payment with no issues.

Paypal has not turned into an escrow service.
ahh its only for certain circumstances. I misread it..

* You have been an eBay member for less than 6 months, and you sell an item for more than $100
* You have an eBay feedback score of less than 100, and you sell an item for more than $100
* You have a buyer dissatisfaction percentage* greater than 5%
* You have an average DSR of less than 4.5
* You have received fewer than 20 Detailed Seller Ratings in the last 12 months
* You are listing your item in a high-risk category such as gift certificates, video games, cell phones, computers, or consumer electronics.


I am the second one. I have less than 100 and sold an item for more than $100. oh and second to last one. i have less than 20 seller ratings in the last 12 months. I have only sold like 5 items total on ebay.
