12 day old account 12 items sold £231 in PP no holds..
I have been experimenting with a few new ebay accounts i have set up...
One of them is 12 days old, i purchased 12 items in the first two days, ranging from £1-156.
I also decided to start selling straight away on this one to see what the outcome was.
I haven't even added a bank account to paypal and have taken £231 with all 12 items sold. Ranging from £5-120 I also have no holds on the money whatsoever, one of the items i would also class as highish risk!!
Just thought I would put it out there.. i just cannot believe there are no holds at all to be honest! Gna take it steady on selling on it now though!
The complete step-by-step guide to get back to selling today!
Selling with an unverified pa yp al has been possible - i don't know the loophole you guys did (can always PM to discuss ha) but I will warn you that having done this before myself months ago, sooner or later you will be limited - sometimes without any chance of appeal..
In UK, you can start selling just by adding a card - you get a lamer £650 limit though. Add a bank and you get the £1900. Send in docs and you get limitless.
In UK, you have to ad a card to sell.
That's how it's done!!

@ Alps the legend: Can you confirm the limit with just selling on a VCC is £650? And do you can you sell more but just not withdraw until you add a bank account?
From what I can see, the main benefit from using this selling strategy is that you don't lose out on a bank account if the account has problems in the start-up period!

I have an account that I have no product for so I just stick bits of junk on it and let it mature. I don't need the £50 that's in PP right now so I just keep smoothing it along. When I come to use it I will add a bank account. Until then why bother?
On a few ebay accounts I have created they put holds on the every transaction when I just had a VCC attached to PP until I have attached a Bank Account.
It's good for me as I buy loadssss of stuff off ebay anyway, so I can just use this money to buy more items to build up more feedback !
I know I sounds odd but there is definitely randomness on PP's part.
For instance, open 2 accounts, same day, sell some low value stuff, one account will have payments held, the next will let you take the money straight away.
Do you think they literally check accounts randomly for screening?
I also think you could go heavier with say 10 accounts, start selling more valuable items after 30 days, you might loose 1-5 account with PP holds, but I'm sure the rest get through!
