Ebay.

[Chris Harte]

I have been on ebay since 2004 and I recently sold something on it. My feedback score is 31 with 5 still to be added. This is my 3rd of 4th sale instead of being a buyer.
I got an email off the buyer this morning telling me he would go to the bank today and put money into his account or otherwise he would be overdrawn.
I get home tonight and check my paypal account and it tells me the money is on hold and to post now.

The seller is 05cr feedback of 38. He has changed his ebay name
on many occasions.

His ebay name history is
O5cr 5 october 08 - present
Mo5in 16 july 07 - 5 october 08
X-man.* 2 may 07 - 16 july 07
ak67even 28 march 07 - 2 may 07
Oscar67UK 2 nov 07 - 28 march 07.

Goofbay and ebay say he has had no negative feedback but it does say that the bottom three names had no feedback at all.

Is the funds being put on hold and directed to post now the new paypal protection thing or is it dodgy because he paid me without the funds.

The paypal thing say that it will release the funds when the buyer leaves me positive feedback or nothing is disputed in 21 days.

What do I do?
Post or withold the item?
