Question about payments holds
 

Hello,
I have new stealth ebay account, about 20 days old.
Have already made 39 sales and got 12 positive feedbacks.
I have noticed that all my payments got hold, that is okay as it is new account, but i have noticed that 3 sales from last 6 sales did not had any holds, got funds straight to paypal balance.
Why it is like that?
That now some sales got holds and some not?
How to make it happen that all sales do not get holds?

Sometimes they will hold it other times they won’t

It’s always like that for new accounts

Keep selling and eventually the holds will be fully removed

As JamesNorth states, sometimes they will hold your funds, other times not.

It depends on a variety of factors. The most important are:

Dollar amount of the sale.
Risk associated with the item/category.
Previous history; holds/disputes or account flags.

It can also have something to do with the buyer paying you as well. Holds can come and go for a variety of reasons, but eventually assuming you have smooth sailing, you can expect them to fall off eventually.
