I was anoyed with it in the beginning, but as a seller I’ve always included it as a payment option. Until now. From this moment on it’s Paypal only, thank you very much. Let me explain why.
The Express Checkout used to hold on to the funds until they got a shipment confirmation and then release them, which would take another couple of days. Not anymore! Now they are holding your money until the item gets DELIVERED. Can you believe this? Imagine shipping something from the East cost to California or Washington? That’s a week minimum. But wait, it gets better! Once the item gets delivered, you will receive an email: “Congratulations, your item was successfully delivered! We will be releasing your funds for this sale to your bank account within the next 8 days.“ This is just disrespectful, I have no other words. EIGHT DAYS? After I waited a week for the package to be delivered?
Never again. And I think I’m being quite reasonable.
