They have created so many protections for the buyers, that the seller now suffers. Your excited to sell a product, and your anxious buyer pays immediately with a verified PayPal account. Great news right? Not so anymore. The payment will remain pending until you jump through several hoops to ensure the buyers gets what they paid for. It has to be shipped, received and buyer satisfied so once payment is made it can take a week to see your money. So if your selling something precious to get some much needed cash, find another outlet. Not only do you have to wait a week for your money, your out the money you had to pay to ship the product. Oh and don't forget the 10% selling fee from EBAY and the fee PayPal charges to allow such a "easy" way to get paid. I think I'll give craigslist a try...
