UK paypal 21 day hold requEstefan you enay

[jimbo1001]

Got a 4 month old account.
Sold about 3 things,
EBay increased selling limit - without me asking - so I put 20 things up
All sold.
PayPal message on funds is on hold requested by eBay and other information., but says it will become available after 21 days.
Got some funds available and have successfully withdrawn some.
Just a bit worries on the unusual wording.
Hopefugly worrying about nothing.

There is nothing to worry about, it’s perfectly normal that paypal is holding your funds for 21 days, even though it’s often released before 21 days.
It’s a security measure applied on new accounts, once you establish a good selling history, the hold will disappear.

No worries, just keep going slowly and try to avoid disputes.

Good luck and welcome to the Forum

Its just saying that they may hold the funds

It doesn't mean that they always will though

You got it right

It's absolutely normal.

Here are a few things that will help reduce your 21 day holds down to about 5 days:
* Shipping item out on time.
* Submitting valid tracking information to eBay and PayPal.
* The buyer leaving a positive feedback.

After approximately 3 months of doing this, your holds should be removed.
