How long till my payments stop getting held?

[Guisquets]

Hi Guys.

I've been an ebay and paypal member for quite a while now, selling stuff on once or twice every month or so...

Then in early december, I decided to start selling alot more through Ebay to try and generate a second income.

All went well for the first 15-25 days, I made my sales, received the funds from the buyer and and shipped the product out to them within the 2-3 days - without fail for every sale.

I received positive feedback for the majority of the sales, showing that the products where indeed getting shipped out after i received the funds.

Then i started getting payment holds on my sales, early january time - for the reason of increased activity in my paypal account.. As much as an inconvenience this was, as it majorly delays the shipping of the item, I understood the reasoning behind this, to try and prevent people running away with the cash without shipping the item.

My question is now though, is when will my payments stop getting held due to increased activity, as surely 2 months later it is no longer increased activity, it's just usual for my account. - I personally thought that after about 2 weeks of payment holding then my account would resort back to how it was originally.

If my payments stop getting held, it would make things run alot smoother and be alot easier for me when shipping items out. I have never once receieved bad feedback also, showing that I am genuine.. So how can I get my payments stopped from being held?

Appreciate any comments as soon as possible 🙂

Cheers guys, sorry for rambling on a bit!

Do you have a personal or a premier account?

It's a premier account. 🙂

Can't see a problem then, why not email paypal via contact us bottom of page and say in the nicest possible way stop holding my beep beep payments.

Thanks a lot for the help! 🙂

hi

so when does it stop been on hold if your just a personal not premier user?

thanks adam

You should not be selling with a personal account, a personal account is for sending money to family and friends etc only.

[asbo_adam]

there is only a personal account and a buisness account  no premier account on ebay

[kernowlass]

Adam you misunderstood we were talking about paypal accounts and holds and paypal have personal /premier and business accounts.

However as regards ebay it doesn't matter if you have a personal account or a business account you are treated the same as regards paypal payment holds as a new seller.

so if i change to premier my money will still be put on hold sorry its just so confusing i need money for postage .
