Had a few payments last night via Paypal, Only about £25, this morning I purchased some postage via Paypal but then found my Paypal balance hadn't reduced & all the payments had been paid through my bank.
The money in my Paypal account was all placed on hold and cant be withdrawn or used for purchases until it goes over £100. I haven't done anything wrong or misused the account, there is a steady flow of cash in & out and have had it for about 20 years.
Apparently this is in case I have to refund any of the sales. So what it boils down to is effectively I now have to pay Paypal £100 to use the site, Which I may get back if I close my account but even then I would have to wait 90 Days.
I have a micro payment account on Paypal, fees are only 5p & 5% a lot lower than the Ebid option and is the Ebid payment method of pay used widely enough to ditch the paypal?
