OMG! I thought I was one of the Only ones this happened to!!!

I had nearly $40k (ALL of my upstart company's capital) held for 180 days, and I almost went out of business. My products unexpectedly sold better than we had planned for, and we received a few chargebacks, that we had asked Paypal how we should handle before they occurred. The chargebacks were a very small amount, but they held the ENTIRE BALANCE. I couldnt pay for any of the inventory, which led to a chain reaction of chargebacks.

What made it even worse - THEY NEVER REFUNDED the customers on time and did not allow us, the merchant, to process the refunds --- IT WAS THE ULTIMATE BUSINESS NIGHTMARE!!! We started out as victims of our own sucess. Instead of helping us, we almost became victims of Paypal!
