21 day Hold news

[gurusgrafx]

Lyda, how much of your feedback is seller feedback? on a couple of my accounts after I passed 20 feedback the holds stopped. now my stuff usually sells 15-30 range so I would assume it to be fairly low risk so that could be an answer.

[Lyda]

All of it Gurusgrafx.. 40 with 100%. Nowdays, I'd probably build up to 5 first buying stuff.. than wait to start selling slowly. But this is account I opened in 2007, before I found this forum, so I started selling right away. I am moving up slowly on this one...but steady. All designer stuff, that's why.

Yes i think that is why. But i got 2 payments last week from a guy from AUS and both in hold. 9$ and 16$ . It is getting more and more crazy

[importracer150]

I got a payment for 1700 with no hold on a 2 week old account.
Paypal was vertified before I listed the accord body kit.

I notice the more you play(spend time there hitting links) at paypal and ebay the less holds. Almost no holds on the 1st transactions....After the 1st if you dont play there(again) you will get another hold for sure.....I would spend an hour there for each account and it brought my holds down to 50%......Only worth it on the big ticket stuff I guess........But nearly every account the 1st transaction flys through..........

What are the guidelines for the 21 day hold? I have a 9 year old account that I've never had a hold on & I have a few backup accounts I'm selling very slowly on that haven't been held, but the amounts on the backups have been sales for like $20 at a time, etc (small amounts).

Why does the guy with the 4 month old account with thousands of dollars in sales have a 3 week hold? I don't get it.

Hi,
i want to know if the 21 days hold rule apply only for an eBay transaction or for any PayPal payment sent even outside the eBay auction?
i have an online store and the majority of the buyers from EU . i want to know if somebody pays me with PayPal from my online store, will PayPal hold the money for 21 days or no? and will my PP account will be limited if i received several payments within 1 week or no?.
i used to use Google Checkout without problems within US but now with EU buyers , sometimes GC cancel the order until the buyers can send some verifications which is not convenient for me (80% they don't want that.)
Thank you guys.

[yaw1800]

the hold only applies to ebay transactions, anything else is no problem

[simogold]

and what about the limitation? could i be limited if i received many payments within 1 week or 15 days.?

You could be limited for selling just one single 99 cent item. It depends on your goods and your velocity, as well as other esoteric factors.

[simogold]

even outside eBay market.

^^^Question or statement,simo?
