Sellers who thought the holds were not going to happen are still being burdened with them. Accounts over 90 days are getting them despite some transactions not being held.

Right mess.

Is this with all accounts now/? No matter how old and how many feedback you have?

Been talking to a whole heap of sellers away from here.

Their accounts have had similar issues as described in this thread.


Sorry I have to disagree with the points made by our USA user.

I looked over accounts that were fulfilling their obligations ( and beyond) yet getting holds.

With the holidays, and some issues for paypal UK, I have not had time to delve deeper.

I've emailed people but they are not responding because of the holidays. It would be pure speculation to make any further comments.

For the past couple of months the 21 day hold has started on new accounts. It's really frustrating. EveN after the 60 day of selling and 10 sales, I get an email that I am now an established seller I still get 21 day holds on new items I sell. When does it stop? Is there anything else I need to do so there are no holds. Thanks

Have you tried contacting PayPal to see what they say?

I know you probably will just get a scripted line, but you never know, might be worth asking them

I know it's never advised calling in, but I learned a lot,of tricks having accounts that I use to,experiment with and push limits

If the account is one of few U have than I wouldn't call but if your able to , sometimes u get lucky and get real info from reps

Yea 99 out of 100 times you get a scripted response but every once in a while you get a rep on the phone that actually talks and thinks like a human and resolves a situation

But such a long shot
