Dwolla is good while they are small. If they got popular, I don't think their business model would work and they would certainly tighten up like other merchants. But, it is good to hear some success.

I sold something off craiglist and accepted pp as payment and even collected the shipping and they of course held the money.

Since I do not like to meet with people on small items from CL I put in my ad the shipping will be 5.10 etc (for whatever the flat rate charge is because I do not know who might buy something and where they are ) Actually sold something 2 states away a while back on CL.

They did this before to me so I was waiting on it.

Has been mentioned on the forum.

Is PayPal holding funds on just payments sent as 'goods' or are they also holding payments sent off ebay as 'services' too??

@biggunn

Goods and services have had them on our testers. (poor little accounts out).

UK offsider got a hold on a charity donation.

Out of 18 transactions 4 holds. Matters resolved but so so so petty.

I do a mix of both, mostly services though, only use goods for higher priced transactions but have recieved 1k plus sent as services to, but still haven't seen 1 hold for any off ebay transactions yet, so it must be pretty rare still..

This isn't something new.
Has been going on for months now...

When I first used my year old buyer's account (got suspended cause of dropshipping)
and made it into a selling account, Fall of last year,
I sold about $2,800 worth of items in 3-4 days, and every single one of those
transactions (except for a couple) were held, until Paypal could determine that
the items were delivered. Thus, I try to put the tracking number on the items
in Paypal within 24 hours, so I could get the money faster.

But still, it usually took 12 days or so,
until I could see any of that "pending" balance hit my bank account.
And items that I shipped out to the UK, would take the whole 21 days
for the pending balance to clear.....

Lol. All that money is used up now.
Seems like this is an issue if you make a certain amount too fast,
or yes, to new eBay seller accounts.

How can they hold payments for services? You just have to wait the full 21-days? What about when receiving payments through invoices you send? Any testing there?

Damn they just hit me with this message today. I have been selling a whole lot lately. The funny thing is its only coupons and Ive only been making between 2.00 to 6.00 bucks. My balance is just under 200 dollars they are holding 65 of it should i try to withdraw the rest that they are not holding or will they limit the account? I hope not because I really need the money to purchase some stuff this week.
