Hi Everyone
I am registered on ebay AU but I am looking at selling on the ebay US site. I tried to do this and PP tried to hold my money for 21 days saying it was a risk since I had never sold on the US site before.
Does anyone from AU have any experience with selling on the US or UK site?

They are both well over a year old and the ebay account is a powerseller account with 70+ positive feedback.

Why don't you log on to the eb.com website and post up the auctions? Should be fine - hold or not, it's not such a problem

This is what I did originally - but PP put a 21 day hold on the funds, they said it was a risk since I had never sold on the ebay US website before.

What's the problem? 21 day hold is normal - sell, get good feedback, let the funds clear...continue onwards...

The problem is I have over 90+ positive feedback, account is over a year old, a top rated ebay seller and the item I sold is worth over $900+. So obviously there is a risk if I send the item and PP does not release the funds.
My question is if anyone knows what the ebay/PP rules are for selling on ebay US if the registered account is on ebay AU?

May be the category you are hoping to sell your items that is the issue? |

It maybe the issue.
I will try to sell another item under a different category to see if this works.
Thanks for your help GB |

I'm in a similar situation to you, did you manage to find a 'quicker' solution seeing as you're already established in au?

the 21 day hold doesn't make selling a $900 any more risky
continued sales success will release the hold. be happy

From what I can remember you need to have ever so many sales which total to a certain amount..'fraid I can not remember exactly but I would have got the info from the eBay site.

I'll add my 2cents from the past few days of experimenting.
No matter what category, price range, or fb on my acct (all sub-100 accounts), I have not been able to get rid 'your funds may be temporarily held' on the second page of listing an item.
Looks like the only option at the moment is to suck it up and get through the pp holds.
