21 day holds

[they_screwed_me_too]

One of my new stealth accounts now been running for over a month, 74 transactions but only 34 feedback left for me.

Initially ALL payments were held and now its working out at about 1 in 4 that are held,.

This maybe because i am a "good seller" cough !!! or more likely that i put the tracking info in for the first 20 transactions. I did ring paypal to ask for the holds to be removed (which they did),.

i find personally that this WORKS for all my accounts.

Any thoughts guys ?

Couple of thoughts, no specific order.

SPACE your sentences to make it easier for others to read.

More important, that's great this has happened. Nice work. Dont be too sure it is going to go on like that. Some users have had similar good fortune, only for holds to start all over.

Do suggest you try to encourage more feedback just to keep everything sound. Enjoy no holds but dot trust paypal

GreenBean - On some of my accounts that have been running longer than others I have 21 day holds and newer accounts (a lot newer!) dont even have them...is there something I could of done to make this happen? or just sheer luck?

Wait, 74 transactions on a month old account? Is that even possible without being limited and asked to provide them with additional info?

I did 100 in my first 45 days and no additional info needed as of yet. In fact 21 day holds were removed and received TRS

Been going for 5 months now

So YES is your answer

Perceived wisdom is that 74 transactions would be selling too hard and too fast on a new account - not something I subscribe to but it is perceived wisdom

[they_screwed_me_too]

i listed 1 item (the same item, as aoppoese to lots of different items) with 99 available, im not sure if this is perhaps a loophole/way around it or ive just been lucky

[rsot]

@Laritha, it is possible if you have an account created with high limits and not peddling risky items.

[Laritha]

It just seems as if that's selling too hard on a new account. I know of people limited after selling two items in a week. My guess would be that these items would have to be extremely low price in addition to fixed pricing to pull this off. 74 in one month? Wow LOL

[rsot]

Yeah it does seem high but it is doable.

An account created with high limits? I figured nowadays that all accounts are created with a limit of either 10 items or $1,000. (unless you request for an increase)

[they_screwed_me_too]

all items are £12 gbp, there was a limit of 10 which i immediately upped to 100 (no problem) i then a week later called ebay and pretended to be new and stupid and already a business venturing into online selling blah blah, guy was great and upped to 350 per month or £3,500 gbp, he said call back in a month and if alls still going well we can lift it to 100 per month

I should read that again if I were you

[they_screwed_me_too]

£6500 is the standard now once you link a verified paypal

but good going on the 350 items per month
