I have 100% positive feedback but havnt used it in probably 2 years.

I was making an online purchase from a non-eBay merchant and during checkout discovered thar PayPal was the CC processor. I abandoned the transaction. Personally, I think that PayPal is criminal, but the State AG doesn't agree. I'll never, ever use PayPal or eBay.

I'm going to guess that's why. I always keep mine active, even if it means buying my DVD rewrites from there every once in awhile.

I sold 3 kayaks, all $1000.00 or more at different times and only once used paypal and that was to transfer funds because the buyer was insistent. He was officer in Air Force and I knew how to find him separately from paypal. The other 2 I requested check and after they cleared, I shipped. It worked. Maybe it is because kayakers a special breed. LOL

I don't deal with checks...takes too long.

That sucks. I've never had paypal hold any funds, but my buddy had it happen to him once. My iPhone 3GS just sold on bay last night, and the payment is already cleared.

i Now have $100 for the iPod on hold and also $300 for my iphone 3Gs that sold on friday.

The issue is you have or were inactive for too long.

The reason I avoid PayPal (unless there is absolutely no other option) is because you can not purchase firearms or anything related to firearms with PayPal.

I do have other hobbies besides my iPad!

Paypal is the biggest scam ever! And they have no competition, so they can do anything they please...eBay is also a big pos I will never use again...I sold a phone recently...the buyer said it didn't work, with no proof they got a full refund from my money for the item and I had to eat the eBay fees and the shipping costs!!
