It's not exactly news that eBay/PayPal have been skewing things in favour of buyers for a while. If they gave you your money now, what if the buyer claims he never received the package (either truthfully, or fraudulently)? It's much easier to refund his money if they never release it to you in the first place.
That's true, but if you're running a business then it's not feasible to have your funds sitting there waiting for 21 days. I know that if you sell x amount of things or over a certain amount then the money is yours right there and then. I just find it frustrating that I've been a member of eBay since 2004 and have sold many things since then. I've just sold something for about $500, so now that's paid, surely I should have access to it? I've sold it internationally, and they've released money for postage - a whole $15 - even though the postage is $90.
The problem I find is that they support the buyer more than the seller. It's partially why I'm taking photo's of everything and documenting everything so when the person receives it it'll all be ok.
@bayloski - The Conjuring was great. Loved it. Didn't love the person who talked through the whole film. I did yell at them half way through though.
