Lucky or what?
 

Sod my first item on new ebay and guess what?




No 21 day hold :) instant payment:D

Good thing right? Not sure about why my withdrawels are the rubbish 3 day ones

if you've sold something to someone that's in the US/Canada/Australia (it might even be all non-euro countries) then you get the money straight away. Or you could just be lucky and not get a 21 day hold.

as for the 3 day wait, it happens to us all.

Sold something to finland maybe thats why then

I have been looking into the 21 hold thing, it looks like it all comes down to how you list your item. If you list fresh item you get 21 day hold on payment, if you list a item that's is already on eBay and list it by clicking on the item and click on sell this item the payment doesn't, get a 21 day hold.

The 21 days hold can happen to any account. There is no steadfast rule in how to avoid it. Keep customers happy, have high DSR and you are less likely to run into it, but it can happen to any account at any point.

I have been checking this for a while, and I am finding the same results everytime. Also on new accounts first item sold. But I am selling item around the £10 mark and in the same category, so not sure about other category, but give it a try and tell me how you get on.

After how much feedback you lot get 2 hr withdrawels , i normally get them after 20 feedback

as an addition to what i said, the first 3 or 4 sales on mine are all subject to the 21 day hold. i've just sold something to someone in the UK and it's an instant payment. not even going to bother trying to withdraw it though as i know it'll be a 3 day wait and it's simply not worth it.

What do you mean not worth it? Still comes to your account , dont like keeping money in there incase they decide to limit it

Preferable to always leave some funds in paypal.

Good idea to leave a small balance.

Makes paypal happier too.

:ranger:

I leave the ebay fees amount

I am a fan of leaving 3-4x the average eB sale...not just the coverage of fees.

@OP, keep in mind that holds can be applied later on...never assume you are always 100% no-holds barred with your pp account

how much you sold now ? Dosnt always happen on the first 1,2 or 3 it can be more before the 21 day holds are applied.

Hope you havn't jumped the gun.

xxxxx

What u mean jumped the gun on what?
I have still only sold 1 item, taking it slowly
