How many seller's feedback needs for 21days hold?
 

I wanna know how many seller's feedback needs for no 21days hold
anyone know?

Yep, paypal does.

No set rules for this. Anyone can have 21 day holds

Like James stated, there are no set rules.


Is anything happening with your account that you ask this?

It differs between the countries too.

:mod:

Yep , patience is the key to stealth don't worry about the holds eventually they will be lifted , work hard and ship fast

I'm in the states and luckily my items for in priority flat rate boxes and padded envelopes so I pay $5.15 and $5.70 I only do domestic everything arrives in 2-3 days and than funds lifted 3 days later

I try and ship same day if sale was on time so in 6 days funds are released

@poimo, dont focus on bypassing the 21 day hold - focus more on keeping customers happy with fast shipping and quality product. Arrange your operations so you can work with the hold - over time, as your credibility is built, holds can come off...but can come back on too, keep that in mind

By the new rules , most of country paypal hold 21 days , If it can ship before 3 days with tracking number and can be faster delivered , the funds will be available early .Australia account doesnt hold for 21 days , but it can not withdraw too fast , it will get limited or suspened , so it doesnt matter how many days hold ~

Not sure about this statement - seems like there is the hold also involved for Australia

This is what I done in my stealths to get my money sooner.

When creating the listing on your new ebay page, explain that you are new to ebay but you will be providing A+ Customer service and that you will post same/next day etc and also on the listing state that you would really appreciate the feedback as soon as possible because you have lots of things to sell and you want other potential buyers to see that you can be trusted etc etc...

I found that most of my buyers left pos feedback very quickly in most cases, then as soon as you get a positive feedback paypal can release your funds, however they will not release it unless you ask them to do so.....So you send them an email every day or whenever you have a new positive f/b with all the new positive feedbacks you have received then they will manually release the funds for you. (You have to give them all the transaction details.)

I just sent one email and then kept replying every day with more funds that they would need to release, then after a few weeks they will get sick of you and realise that you are an honest ebayer and release the 21 day hold altogether.

I am of course just expressing my opinions from my own experience, no problems have been caused when doing it this way.
Good luck.

Nice experience you are having - I dont send out these e-mails just to avoid unnecessary attention to my account but it does seem to be working for you.

If this works for you, then fine.

I prefer to not give away too much info or invite PayPal to " look" at my account. As for funds release I never chase them for that

:mod:

established accounts with over 1000 feedback, FLAWLESS feedback still get hit with holds

You'll get an email when they don't hold the funds anymore.

Then you might get another one saying they're holding funds.

Then you might get another one saying they're not holding funds.

@FuriousGeorge


Wait until you get the emails at the same time. Their own staff have issues deciding which one is valid.

Have to love paypal.

That movie Sleepless in Seattle has a rerun

Clueless with Paypal.

:FF:

I have had this exact thing happen many times over the past year or so.

Eventually ending up with tons of accounts with no limits and no holds.

For me most of mine used to get the 21 day holds off around 90 days but anymore I am getting them oddly around 45-60 days or so.

Just got an account that is just a few days older then 90 days get no holds and no limits on sales which is rare.

All accounts are different and as I always state, ebay and pp love to just toss a dart and see where it sticks.

On that basis I work my accounts.

There's always the chance of ebay/paypal 'landing' and making a mess.

:argue:

I age my accounts and sell slow til holds disappear and never ever had one after that.....I age them over 3-6 months, not that many fb needed sometimes as little as 5......it tells you if you will get hold on the auction when you press confirm on listing....so I test it with a few small listings and see if I am good to go for more exensive items....

They send you an email telling you your holds are lifted?

I never get emails , payments just start showing up as instant

You MAY get an e-mail saying that holds are no longer applied - but not 100% a given - check status of your payments - they should up as available if no holds on

Not always

:spy:

Not had an email for a while saying this. Just notice the funds becoming available. Tends to happen after 90 days of selling at the moment, but not always.

i have sold 9 items per 1 week, used the next day shipping
after the 10th deal, money were available after 2-3 business days after they were delivered.
Question: how much deals i should have to get money available before my items will be delivered to the buyer? 100-500- 1000 ???

No set amount. Like I said, I notice it at 90 days of selling in the UK, but this is not always the case. Just a waiting game

I have accounts that were just under 60 days old where the hold was lifted and and accounts that are 90 days and others over 90 days and still holds , so it's basically whenever Paypal feels comfortable with you which is probably a real complicated formula with derivatives..

Or they toss a dart up blind folded as I think SandyD mentioned

Just curious did the accounts have minimum 26 transactions and over 250 in sales before the holds were lifted?

Yea most did, just the one account that lifted the holds 2 months in so just off the top of my head it had 20 sales and $1200, but all the rest were at 3-4 month mark so they would of had 30-40 transactions.

I feel there's no set science in this, now that I have a large group of accounts most are little over 3 months of selling but some have a randomness

Oh I just had one account the other day start accepting instant payments with 22 transactions 10 feedback and 3months old exactly

Had a couple recently myself that have not had any holds on the payments. Seems to be little patten to what PP does

@JamesN'

:nono:

that is wrong.

paypal has a pattern that only paypal knows

:juggle:

I only have 21 days hold on my US sales. For my UK sales, I get the money instantly.

Yes, not every new account gets hit with 21 day holds.

This isnt special to UK however - one of my UK accounts has holds from day one - low level sales though so havent had a lot of money coming in

An eBay representative told me that I need at least 25 sales before they can remove 21 days hold.

26 sales over $250 in transactions within 90 days to release holds. I know i know it varies but this is the standard.

Essentially correct but holds can be placed BACK on by pp - known to occur

May be described as a standard.

But it can be varied without warning.

Not hard and fast at all.

Typical paypal/ebay ( regardless of country).

It doesn't have to be within 90 days. It can be more or less depending on how fast you are selling.

I dont agree with that other than the fact that pp can do whatever they want and do

Normally you need over 25 items and over $250 in sales to lose 21 day hold. I dont think ebay feedback has anything to do with it although dsr's or negs could probably nix the plan

For UK users, intraction between ebay & paypal does have influence on holds.

Dont forget a rolling reserve can also be placed on accounts.
