Paypal refuse to acknowledge that my royal mail tracking code is proof of postage, ******s.
Do you mean proof of delivery?

No, postage because the guy who was meant to sign it didnt and wont collect from post office, now they want proof of postage
Well surely if you have tracking and the little invoice showing the tracking with the delivery postcode that's proof of posting?
I have lost the little slip due to misplacement, yet the post office said that the tracking code (as it was royal mail signed for) should count as proof of postage; yet payapal won't except this, is like they're adament not to get involved in my case
Does the online tracking show the delivery address on the Royal Mail website? If not that's where your problem is: Paypal would see it as being any old tracking number and it doesn't mean it went to the buyer if you see what I mean?
If the buyer doesn't collect and sign for it the item will be returned to you (special delivery should have your address on) so at least you shouldn't be too much out of pocket.
I gave up on ebay when paypal stopped releasing money until feedback has been given by the buyer?
I waited ages for one particular buyer to give me feedback on a DVD player I sold.
It annoyed me that 'they' had the power to stop me getting my money.
Honestly, I'd rather bin perfectly good stuff then deal with ebay/paypal now.
Is that really the case now? I don't hardly ever sell on ebay and when I buy I virtually never leave feedback either anymore as I got in this habit before they changed it when basically, if you didn't leave positive feedback, you just got negative feedback in return. Obviously if people aren't getting paid then I'll start leaving feedback again.
It certainly was the case, a few months back.
You sell something, paypal don't release your funds until the buyer gives feedback.
They've maybe jacked this though, coz it was causing uproar.
It's never been the case AFAIK.
We sell things every week. Have done for years.
Never had a problem with paypal withholding any funds until feedback.
Definitely happened.
eBay Answer Center: Ebay withholding seller's payment until ...
A quote from the above, for anyone that can't open links.
But yes, PayPal (not eBay) holds some sellers payments for 21 days, or until + FB is left, or until the item shows delivered.
but just it seems in cases it deems as 'high risk'.
i.e. it isn't every sale... like I say, never happened to us
No, it isn't as clear cut as that.
It may not have happened to you, but it's happened to lots of people and for no apparent reason.
Either that or paypal have some pretty random criteria for 'high risk'.
I've got 100% positive feedback in over 100 transactions.
The transaction I had payment delayed on until +FB was received was a £30 DVD player.
No 'high risk' there in anyone's book.
If he will not collect it, it should be returned to you... eventuallyNo, postage because the guy who was meant to sign it didnt and wont collect from post office, now they want proof of postage
