Not bad enough the company I worked for, for 10 years downsized, and I was laid off. So while looking for employment, thought I'd EBay my belongings that were in good shape.
Had both my EBay and PayPal accounts for over 3 years. Granted very little activity. Mainly buying off Ebay. 100% positive on Ebay and no complaints, no disputes on PayPal.
Things were going good for a few months. Selling mainly little $3-$5 items, but it at least helped keep us above water. I would divide my day between job applications, resumes, interviews and listing on EBay. I was putting in over 10 hours a day between all that.
Started listing bigger/more expensive items, as I learned the Ebay ways (what seemed to work and what didn't). Had a couple of good sales. Was so releived that little more money was coming in.
I also had ordered the PayPal debit card when I started Ebaying. It was quick to arrive, and just used it to pay for small purchases (mainly at local drug store, quick trip to grocery). Nothing out of the ordinary.
Well, last Friday, I withdrew, from an ATM, a couple hundred dollars. Paid a few bills.
This past Monday evening I went to withdraw about $500.00 to do some Christmas shopping (all the while more money is being put into PayPal due to weekend sales). No can do. Frozen.
Suspious activity? Yeah, that's a good answer!! Because I finally start making money for them, they want to keep it, maybe??
Well, they have helped ruined my Christmas. I literally have no money for Christmas.
During that time, I've set up accounts with a few other places, but of course, being I'm new to them, I'll never get pay outs in time for shopping this weekend. Plus, so many consumers don't want to use other "pay" systems. So my sales have dropped drastically.
They have raked me over the coals, and thanks to them (I should had withdrew what money I had in there out on Friday, but thought all was well).
Can anyone direct me to a way to get mainly Christmas money? Still have a couple of bills due. Would hate to lose electric and water before Christmas.
Thanks
