Ageing Paypal Accounts

[sax4]

Question regarding account ageing.

I want to open a Paypal account and sell as soon as possible, but not through Ebay, is it necessary to age the Paypal account a while before selling?

The account will be fully verified from the start.

Fully verified is good - age helps somewhat with the holds but even then, nothing is 100% with pp. If you are selling, same principles of slow and steady apply - holds can still be applied - ship with tracking, sig confirmation, etc.

I often age both the ebay and pp for one month, get at least 2 selling feeback on Ebay, and then every non-ebay payment seems to come without holds, and often the ebay payments too.

I will give it a try after one week, if I get holds no big deal really

Then follow the same policy - just no eB in place...1 month is a nice timeframe in my opinion - not rushed

I always age PayPal accounts. I verify/ confirm them. Then have some activity of low cost purchases. I gradually use them more

Those that graduate to eBay are often well seasoned before getting attached to be used

Yep the purchases are a good idea.
