OK Brownlad, here's a reply I got PayPal a few weeks back after my account got Han Soloed (frozen):
Quote:::
I have read your email Mr. ****** regarding the payment hold on your
eBay item. There are some criteria to meet to avoid the eBay payment
hold.
Your payments will not be held if you meet all the following
requirements:
* Your eBay tenure is more than 6 months.
* Your eBay feedback rating more than 100.
* Your buyer dissatisfaction is less than 5%.
Or if you meet all the following requirements:
* Your Detailed Seller Rating is greater than 4.5.
* Total Detailed Seller Ratings Received: More than 20 in the last
12-months.
* Your buyer Dissatisfaction less than 5%.
If you have had more than 5% dissatisfied buyers in the last 30 days,
you are required to offer PayPal or a merchant credit card and may have
their payments held.
These requirements are per individual eBay account. If you don't meet
these criteria, we recommend that you implement best practices to reduce
buyer disputes, claims and chargebacks.
Please let me know if you need further assistance.

It took me a few days to find out what 'tenure' means but it basically means how old your account is. It's gotta be older than 6 months.
For DSR criteria I thought about maybe selling cheapskate stuff and then offering it for free if they leave you a 5 DSR for each criteria. I dunno haven't really thought that one through enough though. But it's open for business for sure.
