Advice needed - PayPal holding funds again after instant payments

[SoulStorm]

Hi guys.

I have been receiving instant payments (no hold in PayPal, available immediately) from all payments into my PayPal account. Payments received last month as instant payments is around $2500.

Now the past two payments received (one via ebay and one via my website) have been placed on hold pending delivery confirmation (each around $250).

I have no problem waiting for the delivery to be confirmed for the hold to he released.
What I would like to know, is the hold that is being placed on the funds a warning that account limitation risk has increased? Should I slow down/stop sales for awhile and allow the account to "cool off"?

PayPal account and ebay account are both about 4 years old. Small amounts sold on and off the past 4 years (163 total feedback, no issues) but now selling some higher value items.

Please give your advice on whether the delivery confirmation hold is a high risk of impending account limitation if I keep selling?

From my experience since your account isn’t new the hold could be coming from the senders account and not necessarily a problem with your account

It could also be higher value items causing it, especially if your sales are climbing.
If your upwards trajectory continues, there is a high chance that you may be limited and asked for docs.

With the recent changes made by Paypal, even if your account is 10 years old, they can put some of the payments you received in hold.
Their system does a kind of permanent risk analysis. For instance, if you received some higher amount during a month and in the previous months, you didn't make that turnover, a part of the payments could be put in hold.
This is nothing alarming. After few months, everything will be good. Keep calm :-)
