eBay/PayPal 21 day funds hold on new accounts
 

Is there a way possible to remove this limitation on a brand new ebay account? For example can you contact paypal/ebay with identity information or proof of address to have this limitation removed? In order to be able to access funds earlier than 21 days.

Any help greatly appreciated!

u need to put the tracking info in paypal to get this removed faster

No way around this. This is a policy of Paypal. Remember, you're new to PP and they need to trust you. You need to build your trust with them.

As stevebills mentioned, upload tracking to cut down the 21 day wait to the time it takes the item to get delivered.

Funds are rarely held for 21 days any more.

Use a express tracked postal service to get the funds released ASAP

Send the item.... make sure you input the tracking number on PayPal and once it is marked 'received' on the tracking you will get the money in 2-3 days or I will eat my hat

What if you're only making a few pence per item and send with a first class stamp?

well if the items only a few pence send it normal post that's common sense
