Re: How does PayPal feel about invoiced payments for non ebay sales?
I would think that BUSINESS accounts get fewer holds than personal accounts. Personally, I have never liked accepting PayPal for non-eBay sales, but it is sometimes the easiest way to transfer money. EVERYBODY has a PayPal account, but few people have accounts with Google Wallet or Dwolla. I would love to see bitcoin become more popular, but for those who have never used it before, there is a definite learning curve.
Anyway, I think that is you want to accept non-eBay payments, then you will just have to put up with the holds. At least until PayPal trusts you. If you are getting them all the time and there are no complaints or chargebacks, then they probably drop the holds.
I think PayPal really wants to ramp up their involvement in off-eBay sales, especially now that eBay no longer owns them. They are only guaranteed to be the dominant player on eBay for 5 more years, so if they are smart, they will do whatever they can to become a bigger player.
