I understand. I am not worried about holds - we made it through 90 days of the 21 day hold generating a substantial income and waiting through the holds. It's just principal...buyer receives their merchandise, so where is the seller's money? Frozen for what? I am not talking about the 21 day hold, but rather account limitations, restrictions, freezing, etc.

Only true for the first 90 days. Any hold after that, is down to PayPal and PayPal only.

Without getting to technical all holds are down to p/p as they are the ones holding your cash.

e/b never receive your payments and have no legal right to hold them as they are not a payment processor, only p/p has the right initiate a hold at any time.

Their current policy is to hold any funds received into your account from e/b sales for up to 21 days due to past abuse of the system by rogue sellers.

Any holds initiated by them after the account is 90 days old is down to their risk analysis criteria.

BTW 90 days is not set in stone, I have holds removed on a number of accounts much earlier than this.

agreed 21 day hold for 90 days is ok, if you are expecting it and can come off sooner anyway.. then take it steady, that is why you prepare an account, you do not sell the real goodies til the set up is right, people sell their old household stuff or buy stuff to sell, popular stuff for no profit to get ready...
