paypal hold question?
 

i sold a few items on ebay, my question is why is there a hold on only some of my tranactions? the other dont have holds on them?

Everyone here wonders the same thing. It's paypal's way of being a control freak. Seriously, decal, I had a hold for $19 on a new account & a payment of $450 went thro' with no hold. Go figure.

All I can recommend is to keep on top of your customer service, increase your ebay FB & be aware that holds may happen :ranger:

ok , thanks fo the response greenbeen.

The best, down to Earth advice you could ever get! And this one is coming straight from the heart! This why I am here. so shoot me! Its early AM here where I live...

I've had this happen to me to. I cannot remember exactly how or why the buyer holds the money. But after it's been delivered if the person gives you a positive feedback, the money will be released. otherwise it's a 14 or 15 day (cannot remember esactly which 14 or 15) day waiting period, then it's released. When this happened to me, on the 14th or 15th day the money came into my account.

I called paypal when I noticed it was on hold for about a week. I contacted the buyer but they never gave me any feedback.

Hope it helps
