New temproarily by passed 21 day hold!!!

Dashawn · #1 07-20-2015

So this is what happened with my account. I received a payment for 250 as a gift. Used it fine. Then I received a payment for 250 as goods and services. The money went into my pending balance but then I get a follow up email saying this.

Basically I bypass the 21 day hold for up to 1000$. Does anyone know of this?

Looks like Paypal is trying to trick stealthers to reveal their identity which is impossible. This only applies to first timers who sign up with Paypal with their legit info.

Interesting. I just did a brand new stealth got a payment then got the hold. Right after I got the same email you did. Their automated system called me and got the hold lifted. This was on a business account.

Breakthecycle2 · #14 07-22-2015

Has anyone gotten one today? I am 0-2 so far. Im thinking, as usual, it was a glitch.

easy.bake.oven · #15 07-23-2015

Uk - 0-35 :(

Breakthecycle2 · #16 07-23-2015

Can anyone confirm they are still getting them?

dallis · #17 07-27-2015

They don't hold 'gifts' or 'send to friends or family' transfers.

They only hold payments for products or services transacted on EB.

I don't have any holds on payments via Etsy, Bonanza, etc.

That is completely false. They hold payments on non EB sales.

And PayPal eventually limits an account receiving large quantity of "Gifts and Family".

Yeah wouldn't recommend that, will definitely get limited if you start receiving many 'gifts'
