Observation about PayPal hold and how to beat it.
Hello,
Well I know a lot of people are always looking for a work around for the 21day hold, 60 day 10% hold and all that nonsense.
This is what I did as part of an experiment, and it works. NOTE: Forum rules, won't allow me to go into much detail, but I'm sure you will be ale to figure it out.
In May, I created a brand new ebay account and paypal account. Both were created by changing the mac address on my modem. And I used a $8.88 Tracfon from Biglots , and a new BOA Bank account / Debit Card.
I sold one Item (this is not necessary, but I had it sitting around and I wanted to sell it) It was a LG universal remote. It sold for $70 and sure enough, payment was held until a few days after it was "Delivered"
Now, I then setup several strategic listings that were basically utilized feedback manipulation, I won't go into details here. (Nor will I respond to PM's, sorry)
After about a solid week I had 100+ feedback I believe it was 119 to be exact. Then I sold another high dollar Item (Bose Acoutsimass Surround Sound) It sold for $450 , and guess what. No payments held, I was able to withdraw.
My FB DSR's were all 5/5 and I had 100+ FB.
Now I'm using the account to sell legitimate items, and I have not had a hold or 60 day 10% thing at all.
Moral of the story, I think the only real work around is Selling History + 100 (+or- a few) feedback + good DSR's = no holds. (At least in this case study)
Good luck!
