Paypal Delay - again

    I really can't afford to wait until the 5th of never for payment. I have bills coming out tomorrow evening. Even work I do today and tomorrow probably won't be paid until next week at this rate...

    I'm actually quite worried now. Not sure what to do. 

    Rejected direct debits are charged at £10 each... I won't see that money again.

    So these delays are now starting to cost us money and affecting our businesses. There has to be some kind of redress. Any lawyers out there? Are their terms and conditions really so watertight?

    I feel lucky I have food in the fridge... At least my daughter and I won't starve. I'll just wreck my credit rating. Thanks PPH.

    Yep - I've got enough bits and pieces coming in so that I won't starve, but it's pretty bad.

    If I don't receive anything today I'll be re-prioritising jobs; my customers who use PPH get shoved down the list, and I'll explain why, and perhaps they can grumble at PPH for me!

    I am lucky that I have some fast payers who're outside PPH; I keep getting invited to deal with them through PPH and this is exactly why I don't!

    There payments on t&c says that withdrawals before 12 will be in same day for PayPal except weekend etc. As they have not confirmed any issues publicly it is not a PayPal issue as people can still buy orders.

     

    It is clearly holding money, from sellers.

    if no one get today it means they are holding money and not solve the issue yet. 

    i believe in this point they start auto withdraw option for PayPal and payneer like fiverr. 

    Megan can you start one new thread on suggestion and feedback or ideas section so we all can vote there on this issue to make it popular there and we all ask them to start this option.

    The life of a freelancer is already precarious enough without having what is supposed to be a reliable service THAT WE PAY FOR, let us down in this way. It isn't unreasonable for us to rely on payments to arrive within the stated timeframes. Not all of us have savings we can use.

    I have some clients off site - I will also need to prioritise their work this week.

    But another part of me thinks that if I get PPH invoices in the pipeline I might have some chance of them being paid by next week, when my rent is due. If I wait, I may not see that money in time.

    We have to all start bombarding them publicly, it's the only way of making them take action, they are certainly not reading these forums

    Craig - I suggest the media... I really don't want to but I can't think of much else. Daily Mail? PPH advertise with the Daily Mail.

    Xenios (pointless waste of time but telling him you'll go to the papers next might elicit a response)

    as i check his normal reply time is 2 to 5 days after you tag him in any comment, try all to email him to his blog too. 

    it seems now a big problem, thinking to hold all projects until this problem solved or get any clear update from there support regarding the issue.

    Yep. Same here. The bar to issue and invoice and refund client has disappeared from all my current workstreams....? Looks like they do not want us to complete any outstanding projects...?

    People have been having this issue since yesterday so obviously a major glitch in their system

    Same, so you can't raise invoices etc this is now very suspicious I guess all work is on hold

    and me - looks like me and PPH are parting ways?

    After ten years PPH? I would expect better...

    I hope an explanation is forthcoming.

    so its not just us who are seeing this issue then? Seems like it might be site-wide?

    Either they are going out or market if not then this is big lesson for them to improve there support team, even make it equal standard like upwork or fiverr, upwork mostly announce any website changes or maintenance 3 days before or any bug occurs in there website they announce on fb, twitter and email, also give estimate time to solution for that. this gives user a good experience, right now everyone from buyers to sellers is going to panic in this situation.
