Just got an email from paypal.
Hi!
So I'm doing my eBay Stealth as usual.
I created THIS specific stealth account back in June. Made my first sale. Funds were held for 21 days... 90days/25 sales/ 250$ blah blah blah, been there done that.
My first sale was on June 8th, which typically means that the 21 hold will be removed on Sept 8th (as long as there is no problem) which I'm fine with.
All of a sudden, last week of July, All my payments were instant without a hold. Like every single item I sold on ebay didn't have a 21 day hold. I was like "Ok, 90 days period hasn't passed yet, my account is relatively new and stealth. So maybe they got rid of 90 days bulls**t ?! I'm definitely happy about that....
Today when i woke up, I got an email from paypal... An important message about your PayPal balance
Hello XXXX,
Congratulations on your first sale with PayPal. Since you are a new seller with us, we'd like to give you important information about how your payments are processed.
Payments you receive from buyers are now in your pending balance and temporarily unavailable.
If you do nothing, this money will automatically be moved to your available balance and released to you in 21 days (as long as there are no problems with your orders).
Why?
New sellers sometimes have an increased number of returns, claims, or chargebacks from their buyers. In order to protect buyers and sellers in the PayPal community, we have a 21-day delay.
Want to get your money faster?
For current payments, ship your item now and log in to PayPal. Then click See how to get your money faster at the top of the page.You can get your money within 7-14 days.
For future payments, you can remove the 21-day delay. Please complete the following:
Establish a successful selling history. Please do the following: Complete 10 successful sales.
Provide great customer experiences! Follow good selling practices for 60 days.
Ok, well first of all...why the hell does it think that I made my first sale today, When I already made like 40+ sales by now?????
Second, 60 days wtf? It should be about 45!!, I already have over a month of successful selling history, did that not count??!
Anyone else have this? I've seen topics when people were getting this email after the first sale, but not after their 40+ sale. Do I honestly have to wait 60 days from the moment I got this email? Any info would be appreciated...
