Wired thing happened togay
 

made paypal verified account 2 days same time made eBay account

Yesterday listed items average 40 pounds


Boom sold 5 today


And money is available In paypal No 21 days hold

It never went to pending even i didn't dispatch any Order

First time it happened to me

I am just trying to recall the steps i made to setup both accounts

Anyone with same experience?

Re: Wired thing happened togay
 

New accounts always has 21 days pending from paypal

Re: Wired thing happened togay
 

Yes i know but this one seems very strange to me

Re: Wired thing happened togay
 

Not true. I made an account a couple of months ago. Never had 21 day holds. Still going strong.

I agree that the norm is to have a 21 day hold, but this account dodged that bullet.

Re: Wired thing happened togay
 

I am really confused

Like is it pp or Ebay who is not holding money?

Generally pp hold funds On eBay account status

I guess the postcode i used is really strong and clean

Re: Wired thing happened togay
 

Yup, got me confused too.

Made paypal, then immediately registered on ebay and listed straight away, not even a bank attached to paypal (there is now). I got a 10 item limit.

Re: Wired thing happened togay
 

I am currently making a new one with same method

with similar details

Will update the thread

Re: Wired thing happened togay
 

Its a glitch and it happens sometimes - no method involved or strong postcodes etc.

Re: Wired thing happened togay
 

It's random from what I've seen.. but there is a HIGH chance you'll get an email from PayPal notifying you of 21-day holds going forward or at least some limits on withdraws going forward.

Re: Wired thing happened togay
 

21 day hold normally from ebay side, due to account under 90 days old,
PayPal can try to remove this aswell if you ring them up if not they will refer you back to ebay

Re: Wired thing happened togay
 

if its a glitch than its a big one you can sell up-to 650GBp if you know what i mean:argue::argue::argue:

Anyway i have already created the account with similar method and listed a single unit will see when its been sold out....

Re: Wired thing happened togay
 

Good experience USB - part could be from account setup, part from SOURCE of payment.

"A Wired thing happened to gay?"

I appreciate Im an awesome dude, but have I been turning folk guy?

Re: Wired thing happened togay
 

hahahaha. I thought of you also when I read the title. I assumed OP meant something happened to him which would have usually happened to you. :)

Just noticed the "gay" part though.

Re: Wired thing happened togay
 

Cant be to gay imoa wired :P

Re: Wired thing happened togay
 

I was on the pone with PP few times about it.
As they explained it, they have an automatic system in place which decides whether to release/hold/let withdraw the money. And it can be quite random as I experienced.

Don't be surprised, if your next 5 items will be held ;P

Re: Wired thing happened togay
 

Nothing PayPal will ever tell you is true. You will learn that when you've been around the block a few more times.

Re: Wired thing happened togay
 

lol, I think he's just a tad illiterate :)

Re: weird thing happened today
 

LOL i Didn't noticed the title
typing mistake...... How can i edit it Couldn't find any option

anyway

I can confirm that its not random...

Made 2 account after this one with similar details From scratch, And yes there are no holding limits first sale straight went to available balance, I even send the money as f&f to check and it went smooth...:dance::dance:

Re: Wired thing happened togay
 

Wow, I hope for you you have found a way of not getting 21 day holds!!!

That's quite a special thing you have going on there!

Well done mate :)

(lend me your brain for 2 minutes please) lol :)

Re: Wired thing happened togay
 

This has happened to me also with new accounts

Re: Wired thing happened togay
 

It may be a glitch but it's a regular one at present affecting UK accounts, may hay while the sun shines and all that... ;)
