Shipment/21 day hold
 

Is there a way to get around this for new sellers selling on eBay?

This is not the hold where you can leave positive feedback and the money is released, I'm talking about the new seller hold.

No way around it really.

All you can do is provide prompt shipping with tracking numbers, and butter up your customers so they leave positive feedback.

Positive feedback, no claims and tracking numbers = reduced time. I have gotten them reduced a fair amount of the time.

To get rid of the 21 day hold, you need close to 20 detailed seller rating on eBay and PayPal; once you have that, you'll be able to sell without any holds whatsoever - however they maybe come back one day depending on the items you sell.

:peace:

I was reading PayPal's policy agreement and it said that one must have at least 100 feedbacks in order for the 21 days limit to be lifted Is it true?

PayPal doesn't hold payments for eBay items if you meet the following:

You have been an eBay member for 6-months or more, and
Your total Feedback score is 100 or greater, and
Your Buyer dissatisfaction percentage** is less than 5%.

Or

Your average DSR is 4.5 or greater and
Your have received 20 or more DSRs in the last 12-months

Ok I guess I just answered my own question! I can't wait till I buy items and get over 100 feedbacks. I know they might catch me for feedback manipulation but it is still worth the try!

You make me laugh loool


You love taking risks stan lol you always get banned :lol:

I agree with you Thankful! I always take risks and BECAUSE I take risks I am now able to sell VERO items without eBay finding out :) LOL!

Not only I am able to avoid VERO but also Trust and safety LOL! Still nothing is bullet proof. But I am like NEO :) Learning to dodge bullets! :bounce:

Omg haha!

You should get your name changed on the forum to DareDevil :spy::lol:

PP is not always steady with their own policy about removing the 21 day hold.

I had 1 ebay/pp account that had 21 day hold removed, The Ebay account only had less than 20 feedback, but it was 3 month old account.

Right now I have an Unlimited Selling Ebay account but it still has 21 day hold on it, go figure.

What's that pic Thankful?!?

Stan's VERO stock lol.

Sick stuff ha - ballin'

Thanks for the answers!

one of my accounts had payment hold lifted email yesterday, got 110 feedbacks so you might be right

my mrs's new ebay "career" payment holds are dropping off

she still has the occasional hold but the last 6 payments are available immediately

shes on 58 feedback on a 6 weeks ish old account

and yes shes still got OCD :doh:

I am seeing quicker releases myself.

Oh well that's good to hear.
Makes me want to go back to eBay a little.

You have been missing some money making.

My yard sale finds for the day!!!

Not really.
Making more money not selling on eBay than when I was.

Then why get back into it as you stated?

Why not do both?

I am confused. I thought that there was only one type of hold?

I said, I makes me want to go back, not that I actually would.
Because I make more money selling my product elsewhere.


I think there is. I believe they did away with the "leave pos feedback, get cash released" hold.

Is that not just the 21 day hold... the one that is released when you get feedback or shipping confirmation? This is the only hold that I have seen on new accounts.
