Re: Can't refund buyer his payment is on 21 day hold
Being hit with a limitation on the very first sale nothing new, but it surely has become more frequent. It's PP's way of saying they have reason to believe you are not who you say you are, or selling an item they deem as "high risk" even if you don't think it is.
I know a fairly reliable source who knows what's going on in PP backend- they are stating to cross reference some key data given with both public records (LexisNexis/Accurint & CRA data).
There are likely some ways to get away with a few sales on "stealth" identities, but it's going to much harder once you pass a certain threshold with PP.
If you're stealth, slow & steady is key, but the old ways of doing things may not work as they did before. Start building up an account with low cost, and risk free items. Think of stuff you can buy at the dollar store, it's good for breaking in those new accounts.
