Holds on eBay account
 

Hello everyone,

I've been pretty good at stealth thanks to initially being a active member on this forum and my main business account is running and doing fabulous. I make 20k per month no issues whatsoever! Around the time I first started stealth I made a bunch of accounts from the year 2016-2017.

I recently started trying to grow sales on these accounts I have as backups and I noticed this new "accept money" I imagine any active member here is familiar with via Paypal accounts. What I am hoping to get some insight on is the new way holds are processed because its seems a little less restricted then in the past.

In the past if you didn't sell on your eBay account for x amount of days/months your going to most likely see a hold unless your account is extremely established; simply because you haven't been active selling. This also pertains to Paypal holds if your not getting the hold by eBay. So I just sold something on an account I haven't made a sale on for about 8 months. I do meet all the standard requirements we all know 25 sales etc etc. but its not extremely established, I only have 11 feedback for example.

The sale I just made for $100 dollars is instantly available. This never used to be the case at least from my experience selling on dormant accounts. Now I didn't update my Paypal to a cash account but I can still withdraw directly to my bank account right now if I wanted. Are these holds less restricted now so if I literally wanted to list something for $500 I probably won't see a hold? I know its dependent on the item but for example purposes lets say its not high risk nor vero.

Thanks for any feedback.
