Just a little up note on paypal. Back the first of this year I received a letter from a law firm about a class action lawsuit against paypal for ripping people off on over charging for final sales fees. They were asking me to join the lawsuit and once the settlement was final I'd be receiving a percentage of my total sales in the form of a check. I was thinking 'What the hell, if I get back $5 that would be more than I expected' so I joined the lawsuit.
I'd forgot all about it until 2 weeks ago when I received a check from the law firm for $57.57 as my share of the settlement. Surprise cash is good but seeing paypal get busted was even better!

Paypal keeps freezing my funds for 20 days, then unlocks the account, then freezes the funds again. I move a lot of parts on The Samba and don't sell very much on E-Bay (yet). What pisses me off is E-Bay/Paypal locked me out of selling until I had a Credit or Debit Card linked to the account. So, I had my Credit Union set me up with a credit card on the savings account linked to my E-Bay account and a $100 credit limit placed on it. Earlier in November, Paypal congratulates me that my funds will be immediately available and then two weeks later *BLAMMO* my funds are frozen again. DOUCHEBAGS!

The only time I've had any funds frozen was about 3 years ago when an ASSHAT in Canada used his wife's paypal account to make the purchase and then she filed a unauthorized transaction complaint. Even though I provided proof of delivery paypal still refunded the money so I ended up with no money and no product returned. I finally convinced paypal to do a history check on the buyer and turned out they had been pulling this crap for a long time. They closed their account, banded them from ebay but they still wouldn't refund my money. Pi$$ed me off but learned a real good $300 lesson.
