What is the shortest time period to get out of the PayPal Jail

[Rebeccascw]

Hello,

What is the shortest time period. And the least ammount of sales to get out of the PayPal Jail. I'm looking for an estimate how many sells does it take to escape it say in 1 month.

That's like asking how long is a piece of string? There is no logic to PayPal a spike could be triggered in the first sale dependant on what you sell and for how much. If it's a new account with no sales then start slow, sell 1 item wait for holds to lift then sell another and never sell to your Ebay limits.

I have an account that is a year old, no problems at all, a regular customer wanted 40 of my 15 item and I reluctantly agreed (cost to me was 100 so I made 500) he paid last night and I cringed to open my paypal this morning, but all was good. You just never know.

What’s the big deal? 3/3 of my eBay accounts have every transaction put on hold on PayPal. The item gets delivered and they release funds a few days later no big deal. Amazon holds your money forever, and they keep it way more often, PayPal’s pretty chill

Update, 24 hours later they limited me, sent in all ligit documents and permanently limited, so I went back in and cancelled large payment and customer is sending me a check.

I find after a couple of months my sales are no longer put on HOLD and I can withdraw right away.

of course some categories are high risk

"Large payment" Why be suprised? You've been on this forum for a while.
