Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

I know it takes time.


Ebay may want to how many successful translations before you can make it instant payment.


I saw somewhere, but forgot.. there is a list of things to do before paypal will make it instant..

Anyone knows?

Re: Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

I believe there are 3 conditions:
1. 90 days from the date of the first sale.
2. 25 successful transaction (or 25 positive feedbacks - not sure which it is).
3. a Total of over $250 in sales.
Mind you these are only the minimum requirements and they are not obligated to remove those holds if they dont wish to for whatever reason. And even if they do remove those limits they can be placed on the account again at any time for any reason they see fit.

i saw that before..

90 days is too long..


cashflow is key

Re: Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

If you are selling on eBay.com, eBay.ca, and eBay.cafr, your buyer's payment will first show as pending in your PayPal account if:

You have a limited selling history, meaning you have:
90 days or less from your first sale, or
25 or fewer transactions, or
US$250 or less total sales since your first sale, or
You have a Below Standard rating in your Seller Dashboard, or
You have unusual account activity such as a sudden incidence of Buyer Protection case

This hold is so annoying. Specially when you want to use the money you are getting for dropshipping... It has made me lose so much money since I went back to eBay/PayPal...

Re: Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

You need to be thinking long term.
You might 90 days is a long time but if you open up several accounts and get all of them going at the same time and spread your sales across them (which is how it is supposed to be done as far as Im concerned) then after those 90 days you have a solid base for operating on ebay and you keep introducing more accounts into this cycle so you have backup accounts in case one goes down.
Stealth takes patience and long term thinking. If this is not something you can handle then youll have problems with your operation... 'Turn and burn' operations dont do well and definitely dont last long.

Re: Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

i actually like the 21 days holds because it locks away my money and keeps me from scaling up to quickly. it's also good to have some reserve cash saved away just in case.

Re: Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

PayPal holding my money it is not really "reserve cash saved" from my point of view...

Re: Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

If you don't absolutely need the cash sometimes it's nice to have the hold. I just like to forget about the money and just be happy when it comes in. In my experience with physical items the release it pretty quick if you update everything like the shipping and stuff.

I think there is a way to get around the 21 day hold if you're crafty and tricky enough. But, it's not always worth it because depending how it goes your 60-90 day hold could turn into a 180 Day hold if you don't do it right and get limited.

Guys you can't be serious, thanking PaPal to hold your money...

Get yourself one of these instead

Will my available funds be delayed in the future?
PayPal re-evaluates your account every 35 days. If you follow the guidelines outlined in this article and your account remains in good standing, your available funds may not be delayed and you’ll have happier customers.

Re: Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

Paypal can do what they want, when they want. This includes reinstating holds whenever they deem it appropriate to do so.

And what do you do? Risk an entire account for a 21 day hold? If you aren't scamming and know what you're doing then you will be fine. I'd rather wait it out then risk getting limited and losing a Phone, Bank, CC, the IP, etc. When you weigh the pros and cons, it isn't worth it unless you have no other options.

Have a main accounts and make back ups. Once you have the back ups made slowly move funds into it to meet the requested limits. Sometimes I have accounts that never receive a 21 day hold on my transactions. Or they hold only the first one. PayPal is weird, but they always have their reasons for what they do.

Re: Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

1000000% disagree.

Re: Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

21 day hold is not too bad, just need to ship fast and load the tracking. It will release after 2-3 days of delivery.

Also, I'm see that the 3 rules above may be ok when you stick to one category. But it you start to sell in other categories, you may see these holds again.

Re: Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

ship same day. apply tracking quickly. You can get instant after 60 days now I believe.

Re: Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

not exactly true...There may be a dollar amount associated as well. I had a few high dollar items sell and still have holds well after 6 months of good standing.

Re: Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

I believe the magic number is 25 successful sales, $200 in sales....or something along those lines.

Re: Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

For your ebay sales to stop having the "21 day hold", you have to meet the following criteria:
Been a seller for 90 days (doesnt start until your 1st item sells)
25 transactions on ebay (if someone buys 10 items from your BuyItNow listing at the same time then that only counts as 1 transaction)
$250 in ebay transactions

Sellers should use this 90 day period to sell low risk items and bust their butts to get things shipped out ASAP. This is a great time to strengthen that account before trying to make a killing with it.

Re: Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

I know one way how not get 21 held when use only pp without ebay.

Re: Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

Did u type that because u want us to be jealous of u or do u plan to tell us what the method is?

Re: Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

What's another?

Re: Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

Don't need to know "one way", when you use paypal without ebay, just by sending invoives, 21 days hold is not automatic. For exemple, i never had any hold for US payments.

Re: Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

No particular set formula per say...

Re: Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

I don't think they just pick at random. Their reasons don't necessarily justify their actions, but that's a different topic.

...he only want us to dig in his older posts... kind of "attention-seeking" disorder

Re: Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

Id be surprised if you do, considering you were PM'ng me and leaving me posts on my profile asking how to bypass the 21day holds. :suspicious:

Also, I wouldn't suggest friends & family payments, which you are clearly suggesting.

Re: Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

LOL, That was sarcasm.....the OP was asking about Ebay + PayPal not just sales via Paypal....

Re: Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

I think he means that if he doesn't use pp with eb, he has no 21 day hold on payments....?

Re: Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

no because you still get holds regardless if the sale is via eb or not, or atleast I have always had 21 day holds even from sales off eb.

I think he meant get people to send f&f payments, that's what I took from the post.

Re: Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

So, maybe Paypal Uk is different ...

Re: Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

it is clearly paypal without ebay .

Re: Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

Yes. Unfortunately, the OP was referring to ebay transactions though, so the person that posted his super secret way for non-ebay transactions is irrelevant

Re: Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

I've found that if shipping and uploading tracking# same day, usually the paypal hold is only 7 days from sale date. I do ship everything Fedex overnight though.

Re: Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

What is so big deal with 21 day anyway? People running sh*t business on ebay are always looking for that way and it is nice to see they fail. Eb and pp still have bugs and if you are selling on ebay and it is linked with pp you still have 3 options (known for me, but i guess there are more) to bypass the holds. A couple of years ago i wrote there about two working methods with all details how to do it, but post was removed and forum account blocked. And now i think this was for good. Normal business runners does not see a problem in 21 day. Its a problem for all the rest.

SO THIS INFO IS JUST TO MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT TRYING TO LIFT THE HOLDS IS NOT AN OPTION FOR A LONG RUN. NO SPECIFIC DETAILS WILL BE SHARED. THESE ARE EB AND PP BUGS AND TECHNICAL GLITCHES, NOT THE METHODS.

First one allows you to list and if items will be sold, there will be no holds, but ebay usually takes down 8-9 accounts out of 10 which are set up that way. No tracking or calling anywhere or feedback or lifting eb requarements are needed. Known for the most sellers who been doing business for a long time. No big deal, but not used widely because setting up 10 accounts just to get 1-2 normally working accounts is a pain in some place.

Another one is a shortcut, which allows not to receive holds after first sale which was under hold and money was released. Listing one item, waiting for 21 day, getting the money, making few adjustments in account and you are good to go for the future sales with no holds, whatever eb requarements says. It does not need feedback for the first or any other sale later or calling anywhere or sending phony docs. Used to work with nearly 100% success. Unfortunately PP is closing this hole little by little after new site design was made and now only about a half of the accounts receives the lift. I mean EB does not put a hold on a second and any further sales and still works on eb side, but now PP can put a hold back if EB lifted it anyway. You will see your money as available in EB, but they will be pending in PP. Known way for the most sellers who been doing business for a long time too. Looks this hole will be fixed soon after new PP design came in.

Third- you can lift your 21 day hold for the FIRST or LAST sale without receiving feedback or uploading any tracking or any info or calling anywhere, BUT ONLY ONE SINGLE TIME. How the situation looks: you will find your money as a pending balance in your PP for the first sale. With a few adjustments you can make it to be lifted. There the fun begins- now you see the available balance in your PP and the holds been lifted. Funds can be spend, but do that early than 3 weeks after receiving, even if it is shown as available, after first transaction of yours, you will have limited PP acc. So better to make sure to spend most of funds at once. No, they do not reverse it, haven"t happened. They just ask tons of documents and thats what sure will happen. OR you can keep your balance in pp for a week anyway even if it is shown as available. This way you can spend it as you want on as many times and you will not be limited. BUT i had no success listing next item on EB after that. All kind of MCxxx is what you will receive in a minute after starting next list. So this method is literally a simple bug and it will kill your ebay or your pp or both one way or another.

These are EB and PP bugs i been talking about. They are not suitable for a long run in any way. Waiting for 21 day is so much safer and easyer. I personally use these bugs just to avoid ebay seller fees, taking out funds quickly and moving to new account. On starting most of the times i wait 21 day, spending after feedback received and this is not a big deal.

Good luck.

Re: Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

No formula from 21 day hold to instant cash in your bank account same day.

Their are obviously ways you can get your money way earlier than 21 days.

What I normally do on new accounts is sell a bunch of products over the weekend around 50 to 100 items.

I don't post them by a tracking method but I get a roll of special delivery tracking numbers from my post office and when they sell I input the tracking number on eBay.

Normally Thursday or Friday time my money is released by PayPal and then it takes 72 hours to get into my bank so following weekend money is normally back in my bank account.

For me on new accounts it's like working a week in a job then getting paid at the end of the week. :)

I would rather do that then work in a day job ;)

Re: Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

Can you please explain about third method. About what specific adjustments you are talking about?

Re: Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

I have an account that has been open of about 10 months top rated 10 grand of sales and still get the hold any ideas?

Re: Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

Here are some reasons why your money may be still on hold.

You are new to eBay and sell an item above £50
You have a low feedback score and sell an item above £50
More than 5% of your transactions result in dissatisfied buyers*
You have a low Detailed Seller Rating (DSR)
You have not received a significant amount of Detailed Seller Ratings
You are listing your item in a higher-risk category

Re: Any formula from 21-day-hold to instant cash
 

Lv91, last time i done that, the post was quickly delated and my account of aspkin blocked. Dont see a purpose to do this again. Also i clearly understand that more these ways will be used, the quicker these bugs will be pached. Sleep well.
If u are running nice business, it will not be to hard to pass PP limitations which are 10 or more undisputed transactions which value is 1000 euros and you are running it at least 2 months. After that no holds will be applied from PP side, even no need to add trackings.
