Has paypal hold been extended?
 

I have year old account which has new paypal account on it which is now nearly 2 months old, i have recieved over 20dsr's from items sold, i have 100% feedback and still they do a 21 day hold

how frigging long do they keep it on new paypal accounts now?

Shouldn't be any longer than 21 days, if your customer receives his/her item, and pp doesn't take your funds off of hold within 24-48hrs you can call them, and request for them to take off the hold, and they WILL.

If pp increased the hold for longer than 21 days, it would be safe to say move to MB because they hold funds for 40 days, but at least they don't bother you, and your money is safe.

no i mean how long does the stupid hold be on accounts for, the paypal hold should disappear when you have 20dsr feedback on ebay

There's no time limit. I suggest you forget about the 21 day, get used to it
and focus on your biz and good cs . It'll pay off in the end.

The only way around "PayPal" hold is requesting money directly from the buyers "PayPal" account, but then again you can't because it will look a little obvious that they might think your trying to scam them. I mean I wouldn't know because everyone different hope you find this helpful!

If you have any sort of problems, you will need to call Pa yp al directly - sometimes the call can have good results if you are polite and can handle the agent's scrutiny.

I have had an account since June 2010. From June-December, I increased my sales from $500 the first month to a high of $3800 in December. January went down to $2200, February went down to $1700, March rolls around and on March 13, I was at $2000 for the month and boom, I got hit with the 21 day hold. At first I was perturbed and it IS a kind of hindrance, BUT, I am looking at the bright side. If this makes PayPal feel "Safer" doing business with me, then so be it. It'll hopefully keep them from pulling my plug and asking for the SS# prematurely. One thing that IS really bugging me is that PayPal isn't releasing the funds as promised, in regards to: item being delivered or feedback left. I ship everything through Paypal, so they have access to the delivery confirmation, but I have to waste an hour on the phone when even after the del conf or feedback is left, the funds haven't been released. Only good thing is because of the new PayPal irs reporting, I have multiple accounts going, so I am actually doing MORE $ than before on 1 or 2 accounts. I was always concerned with "Buyer Loyalty" on Ebay increasing sales. Bullocks!!

Were you selling anything NEW that got the 21 day hold imposed?

New as in "New/Sealed"? No, everything I sell is used and NOT vero.

i sell new , non vero items, i only sell one item as well. normally my paypal limits were lifted after 20dsr or being memeber of ebay for couple of months
