I just bought a bag on *bay and the seller emailed me (I think that she is very honest) and said that paypal would not release the payment that I sent her until I left her feedback or until 3 days after I received the shipment. Has anyone had this happen? Or heard of it? This sounds like such a crazy idea. She said this is something new that paypal is doing to try and help protect buyers and sellers. I think it is maybe based on how much the item sold for.
So, of course she is leery of shipping it and then if I dispute the payment she has lost her money and the bag. And I am leery of posting positive feedback for an item that I have not received yet. What if she doesn't send it? Or there's a problem? Would I have any recourse to still get my money back, if I had already left positive feedback? Who could have possibly came up with the crazy idea!
