Verified PayPal Transaction

Finally sold something and used Paypal as the payment option. The buyer tried to transfer funds into her Paypal account. PayPal told her it would take 5 days to do the transfer. Once the 5 days was up, she was able to transfer the money to me.

PayPal charged me a $35.00 fee for the transaction, after which I was told that the money was available in my Paypal account. I wanted the payment transferred to my VERIFIED bank account, but PayPal told me that not only could I only transfer 1/2 of the money because of a withdrawl limit, but that it would again take another 5 days.

My account says it’s VERIFIED and according to Paypal there should be no limit to my withdrawal- but they won’t let me have the rest of my money until next month and then I will still have about $100 stuck in my PayPal account until next month.

This is NUTS .. I only used PayPal because I needed the money ASAP and now I am going into two weeks .. I should have had the buyer send me a freaking money order .. this is the most ridiculous thing I have ever had to deal with.

I will NEVER use Paypal again .. and as soon as I can get my money from them, I will be closing my account.
