Disputes Delaying Future Instant Payments
 

I've always been receiving Instant Payments through PayPal selling on eBay.
I've sold way past 25 items, way over $250 in sales, and the account is over 90 days. But last week - call it bad luck - two low-life sellers took my items and opened a claim saying they never received the item. Now when I receive future payments from other customers, I get this message:

"We’ve placed the money for this transaction on hold because we noticed that you have had recent disputes raised against you or transactions which were recently reversed by PayPal. Providing no issues arise between you and the buyer the funds will be released."

Well the funds supposed to be available 3 days after delivery right? Nope. They kept holding it an extra week. This is getting ridiculous. :ballchain:
My question is how long does these future holds take to wear off from my PayPal account so I can start accepting Instant Payments again?

:bird:Was there any truth in the claims?

Could you have done anything to stop their moaning?

Sadly, you need to regain trust with paypal again. This will take some time.

I am sorry you had this hiccup.

The thing is, I WON both cases because I took photos of the items before shipping it to the customer and uploaded it to PayPal resolution center. The case was closed in my favor. But still, I have to regain their trust again. LAME...lol

What?!?!?

Typical paypal then.

Should be the funds will become available quicker then.

did you not have the 21 day hold before this happened?

Re: Disputes Delaying Future Instant Payments
 

If you have proof of tracking and delivery then you are set.

The PayPal monkey slapping the temp holds just happen to be bad luck.
So if you are doing the right thing consistently, those funds will be released sooner and eventually your account will be back in good standing.

So just keep doing the right things and be patient.

I did have the 21-day hold on my first 3 months of selling.
After that it was smooth sailing and Instant Payments.
My account is about 6 months old.
