It's one of those times where paypal is being nice.

Buyer's account is flagged.

paypal is 'protecting' you.

Two clues:
SO AND SO NAME is a Unverified Customer
&
Address Status: Confirmed

Is this for shipping within the USA?

That's pretty common, I've seen it happen dozens of times. I get one buyer who's bought from me several times and every purchase they get it.

Dont ship - if you really have questions, you would have to call up PP...not a great move.

PP is protecting you ...sometimes

There was something suspicious about their activity... maybe it's the relatively high purchase value if they haven't made one with that high value before.

Oh, and I hate when I get this, as I always get limited shortly after (funny... it's supposed to be a problem with the BUYER, not me).

If they held a payment from a buyer make sure you got an active phone number on there because they might call to ask you (the seller) to check what you sold to him and do not ship.
If you don't answer nothing might happen.

But we all know not answering 1 paypal call for whatever reason puts a limited status most of the time on your account.

Normal..

About 10% of the payments go into review. Mostly from new ebay users. It's a good thing I guess.

Default Re: Payment Held from buyer by paypal

Happened again just yesterday . I believe it was from a 'guest' buyer with a high $ amount. Still can't believe they were looking after me...
