Backstory from yesterday:
I sold a set of 2 camera phones, plus accessories for each, for $100 plus $15 shipping and handling. AFTER he won the auction he emails me requesting I change the shipping price, because he knows that it won't cost more than $4 to ship them priority. Which I don't believe, and neither does anyone else. I wrote him back and told him to pay me via paypal by Monday (auction ended friday). Monday rolled around, and no money. So I emailed him back and asked him what the delay was. He emails me back telling me to send him a fucking check for the remainder of the s & h. I was like WTF and asked JJB what to do. They said to pretty much tell him he bid, he has to pay. Which I did. Then he emails me this morning telling me he has ebay 'reviewing my emails' and that was it. I had to go to town this afternoon for my kids and I just got back and this is in my email from paypal:
Ok, first of all, I have NEVER got an email before saying my payment was on hold and to go ahead and ship an item. Infact, I've been told to ship AFTER payment has been cleared. So this is making me wonder if this fool isn't fucking with me. Also, I kept his address because it doesn't have a fucking zip code! How the fuck am I supposed to mail it to him anyway without his zip code? The email says it's from service@paypal.com but I don't know. I have no other new emails from him saying anything else. What a douche. I might sit on them for awhile and see what happens because I don't think it's normal that your money is held until you ship it and get good feedback. I'm not the one causing problems here and I wonder what exactly he's been telling ebay? I kept every single one of our emails as well.
Edit: Took out address

NOTICE OF PAYMENT RECEIVED - PLEASE SHIP ITEM
Hello (my name),
You've received a payment, detailed below. We've placed a temporary hold on the funds for this transaction.
PayPal and eBay are working together to make payments for eBay items even safer. Because we want both buyers and sellers to feel confident about sending and receiving payments through PayPal, we may temporarily hold payments for items sold on eBay.
Make sure to ship the item right away, so you'll have access to the funds sooner. We'll release the hold in 21 days unless you receive a dispute, claim, chargeback, or reversal on the transaction subject to the hold. We may release the hold earlier if either of the following occurs:
* The buyer leaves you positive feedback on eBay.
* We confirm that the item was delivered.* We can confirm delivery if you ship the item with USPS, FedEx, or UPS and either use PayPal shipping labels or upload tracking information from the transaction details page. This applies to transactions within the United States.
Additional hold period
If you receive a dispute, claim, chargeback, or reversal on the transaction subject to the hold, we may hold the payment until the problem is resolved.
Learn more about the PayPal policy for payment holds for eBay items.
We will notify you by email when the funds are released. You can monitor the status of the hold in your Transaction History.
* This applies to US domestic transactions that are shipped by USPS, FedEx, or UPS and either (i) use PayPal shipping labels to ship items or (ii) provide tracking information to PayPal.
