E bay is and has always been a scam. Paypal is a scam.
They hold your money for one reason:
To earn interest for themselves.
They hold thousands of people's money for as long as possible.
This earns them millions of dollars per year in bank interest.
This is how people like Elon get rich : by holding your money.
The longer they hold it, the more they make for themselves.
(Elon impresses me as being a slimy low life...)
They earn interest by holding your money but you never get any of the interest earned, using YOUR money.
The sooner you stop using ebay and paypal, the better.
I am completely fed up with the rank substandard customer service.
I will never use paypal or e bay again to buy or sell anything.
You buy something on E bay, and you suspect fraud.
But ebay delays your fraud claim for 2 weeks.
Why do you THINK ebay delays your claim for 2 weeks?
So they can hold the money.................. for as long as possible.
