[Shotimes] The Pillsbury Effect

[Zach Leahy]

It seems to me that there should be provisions for this (unknown
buyer/extra protection).  Perhaps it would make sense for sales if
this took place:

Buy and seller agree on item, price etc.
Buyer submits payment
Paypal holds payment until buyer confirms delivery
Package gets delivered
Buyer acknowleges delivery
Seller gets money

Paypal could make it so after a certain amount of time if the buyer
does not confirm delivery, and no non-deliver claim is made, that the
seller is paid regardless of actual delivery or not (to prevent the
problem of forgetting/not responding to delivery status so the seller
is paid)  Either way, unless there was a non delivery and there was a
claim filed the buyer has already paid the money, they have just
submitted it to Paypal and they will hold it until the package comes
through.

Perhaps this could be an option for a dollor or two more, as a
protection against unknowns.

Just a thought
