Possible way to around 21d hold???

[alessa84]

Hi there friend, i would know if in this way we can not have problem with paypal.

This is my idea. I list an auction in wich i write that i accept Paypal but don't check pp box on payment options in listing but an other one like mb or other. So the checkout is not linked with paypal. At the end of auction i send e request of money from my account to buyer email not specifing that is about ebay transaction. So the buyer can pay easily to my money request. Do u think that pp could hold anyway my money?

You'll still get the hold.

Welcome to the board - many posts exist about the 21 day hold - search the forum and you may come up with different ideas to work towards lifting the hold but yes, as aking, mentioned, you have to deal with it initially.

Initially?
I have this pp account since many years ago. My ebay account is more 5 years old.
i searched a lot but i didnt find nothing that could work now. Ex 1c refund etc...

Infact i want to use on other payment way on ebay...

Actually I had to send a money request to a buyer on ebay because for some reason wouldn't let them check out. They sent it and there wasn't a hold. Maybe because it didn't got through ebays system not sure.

Depending if the buyer checks out as an Ebay purchase as he/she may enter the item number into Paypal, I would recommend in sending a Paypal invoice but for services etc.
Buyer would get a little bit suspicious if you was operating outside Ebay safe area, as most buyers now are equipped and knowledgeable about risk Ebay scams etc so be careful.
