EBAY Paypal Scam
Online Auction
Review by xfed on 2012-10-15
Rating: 
EBAY and Paypal have a profitable scam. They force you to use Paypal when you buy or sell an item. Ebay charges a fee to the seller based on the selling price of the item PLUS the cost of the shipping. Paypal then tacks on a fee for being the middle man in the transaction. Paypal then holds the funds due the seller for 21 days. Paypal uses ever excuse possible to delay sending you your money. I will never again use EBAY or Paypal and I would recommend others to do likewise.

What you say is true. It sounds like you are a new user, which may be why your funds were held - I have never had that happen though many transactions, though I joined before PayPal came to be.
Yes, there are several fees, and the fact that you get whacked on a percentage of the shipping is obnoxious to me as well.
Ebay remains a great choice for selling vintage/hard to find items, but for others it is becoming very hard for a seller to make money.
