I asked the guy to leave me feedback twice but he said he hasn't had time to check out my item. WTF?!?! Now its been 2 weeks and my fkn $ is sitting where I cant get it, and I really need it.
*claws face*
I'm fkn fed up with ebay/paypal and their shit

Paypal has been doing this at rando the last year or so. You need to call Paypal & talk to them. Tell them the package has been delivered & point out the tracking # to them. You dont have to wait for the guy to leave feedback.
I have been dealing with ebay and paypal for the last 6 months. When I first started dealing with them the high ticket items they did hold payment until reciept of the item.
There are several things you can do to expidite that 21 day waiting period.
Be very nicer to the buyer.
Explain that you need the money and as soon as he get the item you would appreciate immediate positive feedback.
The next thing is always ship the item insured and signature needed.
As soon as you ship the item go immediately to paypal and add the tracking ## so they have it from the start.
Then I always call again or e-mail the buyer telling them it`s on the way and reminding them to add positive feedback.
Finally usually on low ticket items you will not have to jump through these hoops!
Good Luck!!
