21 day hold warning

[NotAHappyBunny]

Hi

just listed 1st item on a new acc - I was given the 21 day hold pre-warning, which I also am shown when i did revisions.

The item is not a high-end branded product, but it is new. Nor is it highly priced - less than a fiver.

So, I was assuming that something I did triggered this - multiple possible reasons i suppose.
But my question is, now Ive had the pre-warning, does this mean a definate 21 day hold will be coming for any sales?

This then really p's me off as I would then have to sort out alternative eb fee's funding as the money wont be available in pp - so does anyone have any suggestions for a UK VCC that is ok for paying eb fees. Many Many Thanks

Nope I think thats standard now I have the same

Once you get feedback they release the money almost instantly so its not a massive problem and I think its removed when you get to 10 feedback if im not mistaken

Hope this helps

Yes, standard for new eBay sellers.

21 day will not be on all transactions.

Receiving feedback or 3 days after delivery being confirmed (tracking), your money will/may be released to you.

My 4 month old account which never has any limits or problems and is low key received an email from pp today saying I will be getting the 21 day hold.

Now thats sorta the opposite! .... really annoying too.

they do this at random it seems, i have 3 accs opened at around the same time, only one had the 21 day hold, the other 2 didnt, all selling similar items.

It was removed after about a month i think, and as soon as you are left feedback the funds are released, if they dont leave fb you get the funds after 21 days anyway.

A bit of a pain, especially if you are selling stuff with reasonably high postage costs, but just another way for eb & ppal to play god really!
