I know I have sold a couple of things at http://WWW.IOFFER.COM. This selling site is free and and pretty user friendly. But of course not as huge as Ebay. I make custom tailored KISS Costumes for KISS tribute bands and have been making and selling for years. I too rely on these funds to be made available to me immediately so I can get started with making the suit. These suits are expensive to make and being unemployed this has been a good quick source of work and income for me. I no longer benefit from selling on Ebay. I have since created a Facebook page and a regular website with my work (www.mcbrayerskisstributegear.webs.com). Most of the time once a customer contacts me for a buy. I just send them an invoice via Paypal with all of the details of the transaction. Once the invoice is paid the money is made available to me immediately since it is not an Ebay sold item. I am sure they will find a way to change this too one day. Also with the invoicing you only pay the Paypal fee and not the Ebay. I try to sell outside of Ebay at all cost. It is a great way to get your product out there but it is very expensive. They need to be brought down like Netflix. They are a big company but the twin towers in NY city and the titanic were big too. And they certainly came down. I am so waiting for the Ebay/Paypal class action lawsuit. I will send it in when it comes. I am sure it will.

http://WWW.IOFFER.COM is a great selling website. Although it is not as popular as Ebay you can get some sales or offers without dealing with all of this chaotic bs. What really irks me about this whole thing is Ebay and Paypal still take their money right off the top immediately. I will not sell on Ebay again.

I shipped my mechandise 5 days ago when I checked in the usps website it says they were delivered. Customes had received their mechandise and and they usually never leave a feedbacks for me. I email them asking to write a feedback so I can get pay, and none of them have wrote anything.

Here I am waiting almost 6 days to get pay. This is ridiculous, why do I have to take this trash?

As soon as I get my money I am closing my account with paypal. Why should we give Paypal our business if they don’t respect ou?

I think with this new policy they treat sellers like trash.

My feedback on eBay is 1407….and 100%. Now, even after the buyer has received the item, and left positive feedback, and the tracking number has confirmed it was delivered, (except when I can’t even get tracking numbers to other countries), I am still told, by both Paypal and eBay, they I cannot have my money from the buyer. Now, I was also told, that even “three days after” the buyer has received the item, and even left positive feedback, that the buyer still has another 7 days to file a “complaint” about not being happy with the item…and, AFTER thet time frame has lapsed, (as I was told by eBay), “you will get your money eventually”.
Until this matter changes, I will definitely NOT sell anything more on eBay, period! This has got to be illegal!!! I tried to contact the TV show “20/20″ to bring this matter to thier attention, I received a reply that I need to supply “documents” to back up my story. I don’t have any “documents”, just eight…more than hour long…phone calls with eBay, and four …more than hour long …phone calls with Paypal. and five contacts with “eBay chat”, which, incidentally, is no longer working…and hasn’t been fro two weeks now. When I told eBay about this, they simply tell me that they were not aware that it isn’t working. I told them, “well, you should be, I’m told you about it eight times in the past two weeks”.
I was hoping to STILL sell on eBay…but not anymore.
This needs to be thoroughly investigated by someone who canexpose this outright scam!
