How long will I have a 21 day hold for?

[MUFCLuke7]

I have just bought a UK business ebay and paypal account package. There is no feedback and I haven't sold anything on there yet but I really don't want the 21 day hold obviously haha. I will be selling items all below £100 and no high risk items. Could anyone give me an estimate of how long it will take to get rid of the 21 day no hold?

Roughly 90 days from the first sale, over £200 in sales and atleast 25 transactions. I think that's the guidelines.

To be honest i find they go much sooner. Some accounts don't have them at all.

Thanks mate. You don't sell 21 day no hold accounts by any chance do you?

The minimum requirements to remove the 21 days hold (in the US at least):
1. 90 days from first sale.
2. 25 successful transactions.
3. At least $250 in total sales.

And to give you a better idea of how it works in reality, it's 40% based on the 90 day/200 in sales figure, and 60% based on your performance. Your performance is EVERYTHING. Very little of the value or strength of an account (purchased or created) has to do with more than the performance in the recent past on that account. Can't stress performance enough- fast shipping, safe items, happy customers, etc.

Holds can also come back so even when they are gone, don't think you are 100% free.
