Avoiding 21 day is possible
Now my method of avoiding the 21 day hold it's not as easy as the penny trick back in the day, but it is still easy. I won't go into detail on how to do it unless you signup for ebcheckout of course, but I will give you a hint... You need to figure out how to disable eBay's checkout system, so buyers will have to wait for you to send an invoice or use a third party checkout like cartmanager or ebcheckout. If you figure it out, don't spread it all over the web. When I figured it out, I was sending invoices to buyers using paypal but it would take 2-3 days for some buyers to make a payment, also I had to know when items were bought or be ready to send invoice when the auction finished. Sometimes I didn't send an invoice until 6-12 hours after the buyer bought or won the auction. Then I used cartmanager, but that was sometimes buggy, took the buyer off ebay(some buyers didn't like that), and I didn't like that it didn't mark the aucition as paid for. These are the reasons I decided to create my own checkout and once I saw how well it worked, I figured why not offer it to other sellers.
