PayPal payments Under Review?
 

Hi,
I am a reseller on eBay and whenever I sell something I buy the items that I resell through PayPal and almost finish all my funds.
The problem is whenever I buy after 3-5 Hours PayPal Holds my payment and it becomes Under review and causes major delays because it gets released after 3-7 days.
It's a verified PayPal and with a Bank account also it's a Stealth
Now could the problem be because I am spending all the funds at a quick time or does PayPal do this all the time?
Best Regards

How old is the account? Is your ebay linked to it of the same age?

Certainly, many users are reporting 'holds' on funds.

Very often if paypal sees all the funds being spent, then they, in fact, limit the account. Kind of a plus you are getting holds. More than likely a workaround will exist :)

The account isn't older then one week.

Will leaving the account for a while make a difference?

Or should I just not spend all my funds at once and how much do you reckon should be minimum $100? :juggle:

More or less both.

This action is paypal protecting itself. tbf, you're lucky you did not get limited. (Not to say that might not happen).

Always preferable to not spend the entire balance. Always leave at least the value of two items. As you get more credibilty with paypal, you might consider less.

Use that account with the idea paypal will watch you. Try not to make them nervous :)

Thanks for that,

The value of the item is $500 each, Should I leave $500 on it all the time?

Could I go any less as $500 seems to be alot

For me, I would keep at least $350. Never a nil balance. Did not realize your item was a high price. Then you're going well to have holds.
