ditto on what ijapino said....double dip
I uploaded my tracking # and i still have to wait 3 days after the person receives their item
I shoulda did what Rex Ryan did and offer a refund
Also does the refunding 1 cent not work anymore to release your funds?

Ebay/Paypal taking almost 15%
Ebay/Paypal not convenient nor very secure for seller
Holding the money

This company is a scam.
That's why I don't sell on eBay anymore, only buy.

If Paypal has these new rules, what would be the best way for a seller to request payment when dealing online?

Agree with everything said so far.
Ebay is for the buyers, especially with their ebay bucks promotion.
Sellers get nothing, im a top rated seller and a power seller and all i get is 20% off my FVF. So far i had one chargeback that i fought and lost and paypal charged me 10 dollars for fighting the case, **# im i paying fees. I dont have to deal with alot of the problems you guys are facing because i sell video game codes so i rarely ship, but when i do, i never ship to some parts of europe anymore.
Sad part is there is no where else to sell stuff. What i do now only list items with a buy it now price that requires immediate payment. I allow because offers, so if someone makes me a good offer i can contact them and offer them a discount to do that deal off ebay.

yeah, they double dip into ever bit of margin you make on your sales. listing fees, final value fees, and then Paypal fees AFTER you wait 21 days to get your money.
ridiculous.

USPS is the one screwing me. Last two things I sold have already received positive feedback, however USPS has failed to update the delivery status on both items!!!

Hmmm... Paypal should pay interest on holding that money. It may be a just a penny for each sale but imagine that small amount multiplied by the millions of dollars in held fees everyday.

The commission off eBay shipping prices is criminal. Charging your customers to set SHIPPING prices is barbaric. On top of that, huge final value fees and PayPal fees do not make the free insertion fees worth it.

Back in 2010, I changed my mind about selling an item after a buyer won the auction (yes I know that wasn't cool). I ended up receiving negative feedback and found out I'm blocked from selling after trying to post a listing recently.
Too bad there aren't any alternatives to eBay and PayPal...

Ebay USED to be the %@$#....but, that was before they got greedy...
Selling shoes is one of the worst things to sell, cause they take 12% for the FVF....not to mention the 4% PayPal takes. And then you've got picky customers who are new to collecting, and think EVERYONE is out to scam them & are quick to file disputes/chargebacks for absolutely nothing.
Sellers have no rights whatsoever...people can bid all day long, and literally have no repercussions if they decide not to pay. You can't even leave leave bad feedback, but if YOU screw up....SMH...

Pretty good for buyers.
I probably will never sell a thing on eBay.
