All ebay payments are being hold now?

[Breakthecycle2]

I've had this particular account for 11 years with a feedback score of 56. About 30 of them were from selling items. I sold a phone now and the payment is being held. I called and she said all payments are being held due to the ebay money back guarantee? Is this happening to anyone else?

Ebay don't hold money

[Breakthecycle2]

That's what they said.

Thats not true.

They can "recommend" a payment to be held but off that "recommendation" will be accepted by Paypal 10/10 if you don't call in to ask whats up.

It makes 0 difference if your account is 1 year old or 11 years its all about the recent activity. If you sold a iPhone your going to get a hold....

I have an account grossing 2K monthly and about 30 sales each month and I still have gotten holds on particular items I sold. It was BY EBAY but Paypal is the one that holds it. Just like eBay doesn't "hold" the funds when were under the probation period but they are the reason why funds are held.

I no longer get holds selling those same products but with little history like you have at least this year is why.

Ebay don't hold money that's a fact

Recommending to PayPal yes and most people selling I phones can get a payment held until the goods arrive and feedback left

I have no idea why you keep saying that when on fact as the post previously, they "recommend" the hold to paypal. They aren't the ones physically holding the money but they are indeed "holding" it.

They stop holding only when they see that you are stable with your sales, no issues, no major changes in volume and quantity. If something changes a lot (a sudden high-risk item such as iphone), they will use hold.

If you dont sell for a long period of time, you will likely get payment holds return.
Add tracking to the ebay order and the 21 day holds will get reduced.

sounds like you sold a high ticket item.

Ebay is a weird entity. If you think the people here are paranoid. you should look at ebay xd

True story: Ebay is so broken, paypal left

Ebay is a bidding site they dont handle monies and PayPal have lots of security in place

[Freakman]

Ebay has everything to know and do with money getting held.

It is,but I sold on another account that had no sales in 2 years and there was a hold, but because I didn't sell 25 items. I was at 23. I sold two more and all funds were immediately available. The thing I do not understand, is the rep told me, all funds will be on hold on all accounts.

[solefoodbk]

Every account is different unless you sold exactly everything you sold on this one, which is doubtful. What one rep says means nothing imho.

I've had arguments with reps and it never goes anywhere but when you have alot of accounts, this is when you see how contradictory their responses can be. I can't be like you know I do have another account that had this happen a month ago, and .....well your WRONG.

Can't do it.

You must accept every account does get different treatment and it has EVERYTHING to do with what you sell, how quickly, who too...theres so much that goes into how they factor this stuff.

Oh no the world is burning down. Duh payments are on hold it doesn't matter how many feedback you have it is a high risk item and to be honest 30 selling feedback is nothing. List your item, describe it accurately, send it to buyer by appropriate means and you will get your money. Nothing shyster about that.

my gosh 21st century people don't have any patience. want everything in an instant. come on people...

[empirestate]

Holds are in place to protect eBay's and customer's interests.

[jjjjj]

Is the account in good standing? I know that holds can come back on if your account goes below standard
