My god, where to begin, I have the perfect eBay record, 104 items sold, 100% feedback, over 40 items sold in the last few months, yet paypal decide to withold my money once again on a item I sold for £45, yet a day before that I sold a £800 item and Paypal say to me, oh, we are reviewing it as a security risk as you have not sold enough items, thus we are holding the money to make sure your seller gets the item.
Now, I heavily rely on postage charges I charge as I only have a small business that I run from home. How the f$$k am I meant to survive selling, gettting positive feedback when 2 of my last buyers have left negative feedback for item not arriving?
Again, a corrupt system.
Funny Paypal, very funny, we will see who has the last laugh, all my debit cards are now blocked from you, the same as my bank account 🙂
Try to take it to court if you dare, I have already seen a solicitor which has already won 3 cases so far on this same matter.
FACEBOOK shop here I come.

The negative feedback and poor ratings would make the hold re-start again.
Your buyer has paid the instant they send you a payment and they should not be made to wait, you should not list an item if you can't afford to send it first.
Paypal don't take you to court so its unlikely your solicitor 'won' anything, they would just sell on your debt to a debt recovery agency who would harrass you at home and / or work etc.
As for Facebook a lot of sellers use paypal on there, and you know why? Because no-one would send a payment to a stranger without paypal buyer protection.
Good luck.
