I believe this started in May when they did the holding funds. Some transactions get it, others dont. Luck of the draw I guess. I mean, you can buy items and get feedback from those.

normal now on new accounts. tis common and a big pain. its a buyers market and sellers can just suffer it according to paypal. the big picture is the share price on ebay. they want it to recover and become viable

I guess I was one of the new accounts that they haven't put any holds on

Lucky me!

From my experience, they put holds on certain items, Items they view as high risk, like high end electronics, things like that. I am not sure what the exact items are.

Paypal holds your life in their hands. BE CAREFUL! If possible always withdraw funds directly to a bank account as soon as possible. If Paypal limits the account or comes after you for personal info close the bank account and abandon that Paypunk account immediately!

I have had no problems over the last month with one account with over 25 transactions domestic and international and all of a sudden my last two sales have been held for delivery confirmation which is no problem because I ship immediately and have the money released in three days, but one payment was for $170 and one for $4200. So, I'm a bit concerned whenever they hold that kind of money but have faith that it will be released as soon as the package is delivered.
