About Ebay Holding Funds

[Chris18181]

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know how long Ebay does the " Hold Funds for 21 Days" Thing?[/B]


I am just wondering when my funds will be available for immediate use.

so far i have a total of 6 100% Feeback.

It can take somewhere between 1 week to several weeks.

Just ship fast, get feedbacks fast.

The more you do this, the higher the chances the bots will take off your limitations.

in other words, build good reputation

Focus more on shipping fast, getting good feedback, and building credibility - over time, the holds will come off BUT holds can go back on at any time (keep that in mind)

Welcome. It's pp holding the funds not eb. It all depends on just maintain good performance and my recent months experience have been no less than 90-120 days. Stuff happens here so anything is possible. I always leave enough for a few returns just in case.

its been going pretty good so far, buyers have been leaving posotive feedback and my funds are available the next day.

This goes in contradiction to your original question then if you are having funds available the next day...or do you mean next day after feedback is left? Then that`s good! Keep it up

Really doesn't matter how long they hold the funds. Personally I don't even try to withdrawal money from PayPal the first 3 months I sell on a new account. You need to keep a solid reserve in there to show PayPal you aren't trying to take the money and run.

The less funds you have stashed in your account compared to sales, the higher risk PayPal views your account.

For 15 years now, I've kept less than $5 in any of my paypal accounts and I've never had a problem with that....just my side of the coin.

I keep $1000 on reserve in all my accounts since 2009. Use to have Rolling Reserves. New PayPal's limited asking for documentation if I would withdrawal the money to fast.

I understand what you are saying. Personally I prefer not to fly by the seat of my pants. I prefer to do everything possible to keep in the best possible standing with eBay and PayPal.

You can do what works for you. I am very well of aware of the type of statistical analysis and econometrics that EB and PP run to look for outliers which end up being the flagged accounts. Do what you want.

It takes way too much energy and time to create accounts now than it did in the past. Not worth throwing in the trash can in my opinion.

I don't leave more than I can afford to loose. I have seen people never get their money for what ever reason. I did get 1 accounts money in almost 8 months of waiting and lost another totally. Do what works best for your own piece of mind.

I know there are many opinions on this and whatever works stay with it, but I agree , I never got a paypal limited and had money stuck for 180 days yet.

I only leave my fees and one or 2 returns and that is it, on accounts that make 500+ a day I'll make 2 to 3 withdrawals and never one problem

I find with paypal it's extremely important to operate from one user account. I think many security issues arise when withdrawals are made from another computer or cell phone that you normally do not use and there are no cookies of previous log ins

Establishing one computer and user account to operate from with paypal I believe to be the key to having no issues
