21 day holds. Anyone had this happen to them?
 

Okay it's not really a bad thing. It's good. I sold my 1st item on this new stealth account. So this morning I get the payment from the buyer. Hey no problem, I print out the postage, do my thing. Everything is fine.

I just got an email from that account saying "Your funds are now available" like wtf? So I was thinking it's a phake email. I log into my VPS, go check out that PP account just to see. What do you know. My 21 day hold only lasted under 18 hours! :O I didn't ship it yet.

Anyone else get this? This worries the H3LL out of me! I am normally used to having 21 day holds for a while not like this. If I noticed anything that is different from my first dozen stealths, I freak out right away. I had a bunch of accounts under 3 months old get higher limits in $ and some already doubled in items I can sell per month under 3 months old. I get reallyyyyyyyyy freaked out about stuff like this. I know it's a good thing but at time's it's like "oh **** I need to drop this account". Sorry it's just me.

Could it be because the account is over 3 months old? I normally like to take 1 month off before starting to sell plus I had a lot of problems with a bad batch of VCC so it did put some delays.

P.S. I did notice a lot of bids on one of my items tons of watchers and heck of a lot of views. I got another account 18 months old that is like this and it's fine cause I got TRS, power seller 250+ feedback limits of 240 on it etc. But this one is like 0 feedback, 1st item sold, you know what I mean?

Also trying to figure out because my other new babies have holds on them still and was delivered! But this one nope! Just so many people said they had good things happen then a few days later or hours, BAM done! It's why I freak out. That this will happen to me.

Another weird thing is that I withdrew the funds late Wednesday night and when
I checked my bank account around 11 am Thursday the money is already there.

I've had funds drop same day into my bank account 2 years ago. I called up my bank. I guess what they do is have the funds dropped twice a day by PP from what I understand, depends what time frame you change this over.

But some times it can take 4 or 5 days for this to happen other days just 1. Just really depends on how busy they are.

I know that for my new accounts, if you were to have unpaid item assistant open an unpaid item case, and when the buyer pays during the open case, that money is available right away. Is this what happens to you?

I've read so many times when eb/PP did something good then something bad happens. It's why it freaked me out.

As you do more and more business, you see all kinds of strange situations - no need to freak out

Whatever you're doing, keep doing it and good job at beating the system!! You're obviously doing something right if PP is releasing funds before you even ship the item. I may have to PM you to get the inside scoop!! haha

Good job!!
