21 day hold :( Help
 

Hello people, is there anyway to remove the 21 day hold from my paypal account. Been running for around 6 months and i have 30 positive feedback on ebay, no negative.

I want to dropship, but its very hard to do when i have to wait 21 days for the buyers money to come thru.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Just keep the DSR's up and it will get removed. I just had 2 removed after 9 months and 50+ feedback each.

Unfortunately Paypal decides on their own when to remove 21 day holds. Just keep selling and keep your DSR's up.

For Dropshipping its very difficult to do with 21 day holds. I hope you have a solid drop-shipper and know all the risk that follow drop-shipping.

Is there anyway around this like sending money to another paypal account that is not attatched to ebay in any way?

@mirus

Stop getting desperate. paypal puts holds on off ebay transactions too.

Learn to work paypal.... it takes time. But that's what needs to be done.

:ballchain:

I just want to know of different ways to have money available in Paypal accounts quicker. 21 day hold = satans device!

^^ There really isn't any further to what's been said. If you really can't wait the 21 days or till the buyer leaves good feedback to release the funds, you can email paypal with your tracking info relating to that transaction.

Say "tracking info is confirming this item was delivered on date xx, please release the funds" They will reply either doing so or giving you a reason why they won't.

Sometimes you have to discover means for yourself - experiment, trial and error...you have to build rep with pp.

To be honest, I woiuld be to scared to do that. I don't want PayPal to have an excuse to scrutinise my account manually and then find an excuse to limit me.

I would agree with Elijah on this - why draw more attention?

Not really - if you provide solid customer service, you have to wait is all. The reason this is done a lot is because of quickscam artists who want to get money out.

If you don't like it...get your customers to pay via other ways.

How about asking them to send Money personally through pp? Has anyone ever tried this

is this a case of needing the cash quickly to buy the stock you are selling but havent actually got ?

Pretty much

i figured so

its a rock/hard place situation

not a good place to be

sell some stuff youve got (personal stuff even) get some money in to cover the stock you sell

once your rolling it will become easier i promise

Do you or anyone else think its worth asking the buyer to send the money personally via Paypal?

you can if you want, personally i wouldn't.

No it isn't - you may get away with it once or twice but Paypal are not idiots - I suggest you don't treat them as idiots

but the account he has is not going to last long anyway :surrender:

Thanks a lot pal

@mirus

TizWoz may not be subtle but he's telling it to you how it is.

What you choose to do with that is entirely up to you of course

Agree overall, but the OP sounds desperate "satans device" etc lol, so was offering the only alternative not yet mentioned, that does work. Like the OP, I was in the rock/hard place 'they_screwed_me_over_too' described as well, hence doing this once and getting a few payments released, but I agree it does draw more scrutiny so should be a card played rarely in times of desperation! :FF:

Ah you have heard something at last.

Sorry if you don't like what i say but its about time someone said it.

what i mean is you don't seem to listen to most of the advise given to you and it's a waste of peoples time.

You really need to slow down. there is no rushing things,.
if you rush with eby and pp i will guarantee one thing closed accounts. its like a job you usually get better the longer you have been doing it.

thats how you learn the tricks of this trade. even if people do have answers to some of the stuff you ask, there not just going to give it up.
