What happened to “I’ll buy that, here’s your money – oops refund required, here’s your item, and thank you for giving the money back IMMEDIATELY?” I’ll tell you what happened, the longer Paypal hold your money, the more they make in interest, that’s what’s happened.
If I ran a business like that, I’d get my arse kicked by whoever in the government kicks arse nowadays – but if Paypal do it then they turn a blind eye.
It’s WRONG WRONG WRONG.
