Yep. Nine days ago I bought something form a zero-feedback seller, using Paypal. Paypal told me they were holding the funds until the seller either sent the item or returned my money. I know that a seller doesn't have to ship until he's paid, so it's sort of a catch-22. Ebay and Paypal trying to protect people and not having a clue what they are doing.
