This month I have had an unusual number of payments for completing projects and starting new ones. In whatever hell PayPal works in, they are holding my payments for 21 days citing that I have earned over my normal average. Has anyone ever heard of this? I have used them for 24 years, never had a charge back, issued a refund, or received a complaint. And try contacting them to complain. All you get is some AI chat box which is about as useful as ice tongs on the Titanic. And reading their TOS, it would be easier to read the Encyclopedia Britannica (for those of you who remember that). And I am sure they have no intention of paying interest on the money they hold, but are probably making interest holding it.

Yes, this is somewhat of a rant, but also a warning if you were unaware of this policy of theirs.

I think it's part of their money laundering checks

I left Paypal over a year ago after processing many millions through them. Never an issue.
Never a hold - until....
They started that nonsense with me. They also took away refunding of fees and slowly took away everything that made them better than other processors.
That's when I moved to square.

A few customers have asked about paying with paypal and all of them just used a card to pay.

I have no love for them, and the sad part is I was their biggest fan for a long time.

NOTE - This is my personal experience (and opinions) and should not reflect on ECT's opinion of Paypal.

I have not had any issue like this but as David said, they have slowly eroded the benefit they once were.

While we do have the occasional issue with PayPal, they've been very reliable lately, and their recent integration with Shipstation offers vastly lower UPS rates compared to what we negotiated with our local UPS rep.

For us this is a huge benefit that allows us to compete with more of the products sold on Amazon.

If you want unmitigated frustration and pain - including long payment delays and repeated account suspensions by no fault of your own - try selling some products on Amazon.
