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

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.

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

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.

I am currently making a new one with same method

with similar details

Will update the thread

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

**aspkin** · #9 10-14-2016

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.

e2free · #10 10-14-2016

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

USB · #11 10-14-2016

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

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

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

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.

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

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

USB · #19 10-15-2016

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...

easy.bake.oven · #20 10-15-2016

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

This has happened to me also with new accounts

UKGiftWarranty · #22 10-26-2016

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...
