    Hello everyone found this site through a google search and has been very helpful, so thanks. Here is my big dilemma, back in 07 I sold a almost new PSP on ebay, well I got a email from paypal a few weeks later about a complaint from the buyer. When I contacted the buyer about the problem, he told me he didnt want it because this specific PSP you were not able to mod, but there was nothing wrong with the PSP, he just couldnt mod it because of what version it was. I clearly listed everything in the auction. Well paypal refunded him the money, the guy never sent me the psp back, so i never thought anything else about it. Well about a month ago i signed up for paypal again using my new email and didnt even think about the money they had returned to this guy. I started selling on ebay receiving 100% feedback, and all of a sudden paypal puts a limitation on my account. I called them and they told me about the $158 I owed them, I didnt have time to argue with them about it, and agreed to pay. They gave me the number to a debt collector and said once I payed them it would only be a few days and the limitation would be lifted. So I called payed it, then called paypal back to let them know and make sure I didnt need to do anything else, and thats when they informed me it was going to take 15 business days for them to receive the payment! So now I have over $500 in that account from ebay payments, and cant print shipping labels! So now im worried that even after they get the money they might put this 6month hold everyone is talking about. I dont know what to do, should i refund my customers their money, or pay out of my own pocket and pray that paypal releases the funds??

    I guess... you can wait for 15 days as Paypal would not lie to you in such matters.
    All bad debt cases might be referred to a debt collector and so the process of getting paid up... might be taking a bit more time than usual! :(
    It is some times good to have patience and not jump to conclusions! :)
