PayPal hold on funds, whats the limit?

icermanz · #1 07-29-2009

Hi, Im just curious to know what the limit is before paypal decide to hold your funds for 21 days, as i have sold quite a few items and even stuff under £100 gets put on hold. Im on an unverified account and don't wish to verify just yet, but having to wait until someone gives me positive feedback to get my money is ridiclous.

Thanks

Not being verified will DEFIANTLY keep the holds on the money, probably get you limited much sooner as well. On a VERIFIED account, they held money for about 20 items before they started releasing it to me on my last account when I first started it up. I agree it's crap, but that's how they roll.

Stuff at .99p even gets a hold.

Royal pain. Even though you do not want to, it is better to have a verified paypal. It helps establish you as a trustworthy paypal user

Holds are part of using paypal. As your FB improves, they lessen.
If you are not getting FB, then why? Start being nicer to the buyers: encourage the toerags to give you FB. You want to win so be proactive

Yeah that sucks but being a banned member with bank accounts blacklisted with paypal its hard to verify lol

I had one payment held on my first stealth, 2 on the second and thats been it so far, touch wood

Everything else has gone straight through. My account is verified though.

May seem hard but it is possible to get a bank account and get verified. You want to use ebay/paypal, you play their game your wa,#y.Simples
