hello
07:23:02 UTC Drailand
Hi, my name is Drailand, please allow me a few moments to catch up on your conversation so far.
07:23:10 UTC scubatankservices
ok
07:25:18 UTC Drailand
So we did not get a payout?
07:25:28 UTC scubatankservices
no you did not
07:26:01 UTC scubatankservices
I chatted with someone on the 20th and still no pay
07:28:31 UTC Drailand
Okay, let me see what could be the issue.
07:28:40 UTC scubatankservices
ok
07:32:10 UTC Drailand
I show that this was not done with eBay new payment system.
07:32:33 UTC Drailand
This was done with PayPal, so it went to the email address you placed for PayPal when listing the item.
07:33:32 UTC scubatankservices
well i dont see clear funds in my paypal account, it just shows funds on hold
07:34:00 UTC scubatankservices
when was it sent to paypal
07:34:19 UTC Drailand
So you do see PayPal shows the funds are on hold?
07:34:29 UTC scubatankservices
yes
07:34:48 UTC scubatankservices
its been almost a month now
07:37:00 UTC Drailand
I shows the funds were sent 8/10/2021.
07:37:57 UTC scubatankservices
ok so 15 days, but longer since the item was delivered, why am I waiting so long to get paid
07:38:53 UTC scubatankservices
can you contact paypal and have them release the funds
07:40:12 UTC Drailand
We separated from PayPal over 6 years ago now, we do not communicate with them in that way.
07:41:02 UTC scubatankservices
well you're able to freeze my funds with them, how can you fix it?
07:41:05 UTC Drailand
When we owned PayPal, we had a system that allowed to see what email you placed on the item for PayPal but the access was removed from eBay.
07:41:25 UTC Drailand
I am still looking for a resolution for you.
07:41:36 UTC Drailand
We are unable to freeze funds that are not in eBay.
07:42:09 UTC scubatankservices
well you did these. the funds were on hold since the item was sold
07:44:39 UTC Drailand
The funds were on hold by PayPal.
07:44:48 UTC Drailand
eBay never had the funds to hold.
07:45:16 UTC Drailand
You may have to reach PP to see what options they have.
07:45:47 UTC scubatankservices
well the paypal page sasy that the funds are on hold by ebay and to contact ebay to get the funds released...
07:46:07 UTC scubatankservices
should i send you a screen shot?
07:47:14 UTC scubatankservices
I sold the item on ebay, shouldn't they take the responsibility since they work throug paypal?
07:48:26 UTC Drailand
We do not work through PayPal, I have no idea how this happened when you should of been on our new payment process by then.
07:49:19 UTC Drailand
You can reach PayPal with the transaction ID: 51679866K5611934J.
07:49:42 UTC Drailand
This should help PayPal track your payout so it can be released for you.
07:49:44 UTC scubatankservices
Well, it did happen, perhaps there is a glitch in your system, all I know, I sold something on ebay and I am not getting paid. That is not a good thing
07:50:58 UTC Drailand
Our system invited all seller who sold in the last year at least, but looks like this account hasn't sold in a while and was still using our old selling model when we owned PayPal.
07:52:26 UTC scubatankservices
well there you go. I didn't even realize that I had items on ebay. I thought I had removed them all. I think that ebay should pay me and they should deal with paypal.
07:55:04 UTC Drailand
We literally don't have the funds. If this was listed in our old system, PayPal releases the funds once tracking shows the buyer has the item.
07:56:15 UTC scubatankservices
You mean ebay is Broke! They don't have $33.00 to resolve a problem that they created.
07:56:50 UTC scubatankservices
it sounds like you are blowing me off for $33.00. Is that what is happening?
07:57:44 UTC Drailand
No, I mean that proper way for you to get the $33.00 is by reaching the financial institution that has your funds and has processed your funds since 2018.
07:58:16 UTC Drailand
Once they release the funds in your PayPal, you can send the funds to your bank.
08:00:28 UTC scubatankservices
But the hold on the funds is From ebay. So, I am going to contact paypal and If I don't receive a prompt payment, I will seek legal assistance as I made the transaction on ebay and ebay is suppose to protect me, just like they protect buyers.
08:04:04 UTC Drailand
I am unable to speak legal, but I assure you if we could release the funds we would.
08:04:44 UTC Drailand
Since we have separated, we no longer have that ability. They definitely do, I would take no for an answer with PayPal.
08:05:13 UTC Drailand
Before the move this happened to me many times after eBay told PayPal to release the funds back when we had that ability.
08:06:16 UTC Drailand
They told me every time call eBay, but when I told them I work for eBay they would put me on hold and come back asking for my tracking information. Like, why didn't you guys start off with that?
08:06:27 UTC scubatankservices
Well maybe you should contact your legal dept and see if it's worth defending a $33 small claim court suit.. whatever happened between you and paypal is not my concern. I sold on your site you should pay me.
08:07:31 UTC Drailand
I am giving you context that this isn't new, and something all members experienced for years and one of the main reasons eBay and PayPal are no longer partners.
08:08:30 UTC Drailand
I am giving you the tools to get this done, but it is up to you to take that action.
08:09:33 UTC Drailand
If your expectation is that eBay can press a button to make another company that processed your payments that no longer has a legal obligation to eBay, you are placing your hopes on a resolution that does not exist.
08:09:35 UTC scubatankservices
The right thing to do would be for enbay to send me a check and close this chapter. I will never, ever sell anything on ebay again, I wil close me account and be done with ebay.
08:10:05 UTC scubatankservices
No, you're blowing me off.
08:10:33 UTC Drailand
If you no long choose to sell, that is up to you. I understand you are having a bad experience, but this does not change the fact that your funds are sitting in a PayPal account.
08:10:39 UTC scubatankservices
no there is no buttons, ebay should pay. Period.
08:11:32 UTC scubatankservices
Ok I am done talking to a wall. let's end this chat as I am beating a dead horse
08:11:40 UTC Drailand
PayPal was chosen as the entity to process the payments when the items, was listed and that agreement has to be fulfilled.
08:12:09 UTC Drailand
No need to beat a dead horse, the resolution has been given and it is in your hands now.
08:12:35 UTC scubatankservices
YOU PUT THE HOLD ON THE FUNDS. WHAT PART OF THAT DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?
08:13:35 UTC Drailand
Our holds automatically lifted with tracking showing the item is with the buyer and we reach PayPal of that information, PayPal is still the one that removes the hold.
08:14:32 UTC Drailand
If you believe what PayPal is telling you, you will not get to the money that is yours which PayPal has.
08:15:07 UTC scubatankservices
Well maybe your system with glitches has not caused PayPal to release my funds.
08:15:40 UTC Drailand
There is not glitch on our end, you were given false information by PayPal. That is the flat out truth.
08:16:29 UTC scubatankservices
Oh I will, one way or the other .I'm out of here. This whole conversation was a total waste, ebay is not taking responsibility fo its negligence. It's ebay, I shouldn't expect much. Im endin the chat
08:16:38 UTC Drailand
You will waste energy trying to get eBay to have PayPal, which we have not owned in over 6 years, to release the fund.
08:17:14 UTC Drailand
When you can reach PayPal with the PayPal transaction number and have them release the funds they are holding in a PayPal account.
