another 21 day hold topic
 

Hello,

Just wonder if you guys had 21 days hold in place after 1,500 transactions without 21 days hold?

There is few orders today with holds. Relatively fresh acc, around 3 months old.

Re: another 21 day hold topic
 

Yes, it's happened countless times to countless other sellers. Nothing really to be concerned about. Just ship the orders as usual.

Great, thank you for quick reply. Still getting to this all eBay stealth. Setting up couple more accounts.

Re: another 21 day hold topic
 

Always possible for holds to come back

If they do come back after that number of transactions either there is something up with the account (maybe lots of cases or refunds) or they will only come back for a short period.

I had this before for couple of transactions overnight. But once I checked them up in the morning, other transactions went through without any holds so it never concerned me.

Not sure if that relates to it, but since i paid the bill ( today ) it wouldn't come up on the dashboard as well. Contacted support, been told its just a financial/billing department issues.

Thank you for your reply.

sometimes,it is not you but the buyer if he is using bank transfer,foreign buyer or buyer who has a past history of 'troubles'.
eg.bank transfer results in NSF,foreign bank or card may take longer to collect,or a history of filing disputes.
or new account

This is one of those reasons of holds.
A lot of cases eBay/PayPal holds the payments as there's an unauthorized transaction going on the buyer's side.
