Hi i sold my first item on ebay got a payment, The funds of course is on hold but i got this email.

Congratulations on your first sale with PayPal! Since you’re a new seller with us, we'd like to give you important information about how your payments are processed.

Right now, all payments you receive are placed in your pending balance for 21 days before they can be spent or withdrawn. However, if you help confirm your identity you can get immediate access to the first $1000.00 USD you make every month without any delay. As long as there are no other issues, the rest of the money is then released after 21 days.

Help confirm my identity now


When i click on confirm identity it says call me now.. My question has anybody done this when they call you do the give you a code or ask security Questions. Should i try to confirm my identity or bad idea?

It's a code, usually if u have access to the same number used when creating the account than the number will be accepted, but not the case always. And if u do not have access than u will need to add a number that when checked against public data it will be a match with the name and address of your stealth account, which means u may not be able to verify the account

After you complete it PayPal send you This

Thank you for helping confirm your identity with us.

Starting today, you can access the first $1,000.00 USD you receive every month, as soon as you receive the payments from your buyers. Everything above your $1,000.00 USD release amount will be held for a 21 day period. As long as there are no issues with your orders, your money will be automatically released to you after this.

We evaluate your account from time to time and based on our analysis, as described in section 10.5(a) of the PayPal User Agreement, payments below the monthly release amount can be temporarily placed in your pending balance until a certain amount of time has passed, or the item is delivered and confirmed to be as described by the buyer.

Here are a few good business practices we recommend to people selling using PayPal:

Process orders immediately and ship quickly using a service that provides tracking and delivery confirmation.
Upload tracking information or delivery confirmation numbers.
Communicate early and often with your buyers.
Make sure that you confirm your financials and account details associated with your PayPal account, and keep them up to date.
Wherever possible avoid buyer disputes, claims, and chargebacks and if you do have a problem, work with PayPal to resolve it as quickly as possible.
