Ebay & PayPal Delaying Wii Fit Orders

18-12-08: Buying Wii Fit from Ebay is not going to guarantee you get one in time for Christmas. Wii Fit is considered a high risk item by PayPal, and as a result payment is being held for approval by PayPal.

PayPal provides the following information: "Payment Review has been completed and a temporary hold has been placed on this transaction. Please post the item right away. We'll release the funds when one of the following occurs:

You receive positive feedback from the buyer
It's been 21 days since the payment date and you haven't received a dispute, claim, chargeback, or reversal on the transaction being held "

This is not good news for buyers or sellers. If the buyer gives positive feedback to speed the process to have Wii Fit delivered in time for Christmas, PayPal need to review the transaction and feedback before payment is credited to the seller account. Sellers might not be so keen on posting Wii Fit without a guarantee of payment.
