Past 90 Days, still holds
 

Hi Everyone,

My PayPal account still has 21 day holds. Shouldn't I be receiving payments instantly since it has been Past 90 days for me?

I am pretty sure I sold my first item on April 21st, is there a way to check and see when I sold my first item on eBay or PayPal?


Thanks!

Go on ebay and look for your sales in the last 90 days. Go into your paypal account and look at your transactions/activity in the last 90 days, done.

I've had accounts that had holds even after 10 months of sales. It all depends.

Re: Past 90 Days, still holds
 

The minimum requirements to have the 21 day holds removed are:
1. 90 days from your first sale.
2. 25 successful transactions.
3. $250 in total sales.
Mind you these are only the MINIMUM requirements and theyre not obligated to remove those holds. In addition, even if the holds are removed they can be placed back on for any reason paypal sees fit.

I've made many no limit accounts and the process that I usually do is something like:

1. Sell 5-10 items after building cookies for 2-3 weeks
2. Sell 5-10 items after 45 days
3. Sell 5-10 items after 90 days

At this point you should be above $250-400 in sales and usually at this point you will no longer have the 21 day holds. They take time to make but you can make many at the same time.

you can search, "Why does paypal hold my money" in the help section of ebay and it will tell you exactly what you need to do and how many days for the likelihood of holds coming off. Then add a few days and expect paypal to hold some transactions themselves for a little while.

Sounds like a solid way to go about it.

Its still not 90 days if ur first sale was April 21

Re: Past 90 Days, still holds
 

Agreed. Give it til 7/21 and report back. :rolleyes:

Re: Past 90 Days, still holds
 

would this apply for non ebay sales, such as bonanza?

Re: Past 90 Days, still holds
 

It's a paypal rule not an Ebay rule, so yes holds would still apply.

Re: Past 90 Days, still holds
 

Actually, no. Paypal has a different set of rules for non ebay sales. It is less dollars, less days and less transactions but yes, holds for non ebay transaction for new accounts still exist.

Re: Past 90 Days, still holds
 

how can i tell if there are no more holds?, I haven't got any sales after July 21st,

Re: Past 90 Days, still holds
 

Search ebay in help and contact at the top of My Ebay: "Paypal funds held" and it will tell you..... That does not mean paypal wont be holding funds themselves for a while.

The key thing you have to take away from this is that you have to start countdowns on multiple accounts.
