I have opened a new ebay account, I have £100 in the account and cannot access due to new seller restrictions.  I am not a new seller though, I have a previous with 100% feedback over 100 selling transactions.  This new one is for my wife.  The paypal account is in my name, ...spoke to paypal, and they cannot do anything for me to get my hands on that money any faster, than 21 days, or people leaving feedback.

 

I have emailed people and said once received if happy please leave me positive feedback, if a problem, please contact me.    have not sent trackable, as people will not pay more for that.  We have linked the accounts, but will only get access to any payments we receive from now on.

 

Is there really nothing i can do to get that money any sooner.....

If paypal have said no then its no.   Smiley Sad

 

You are only allowed 2 paypal accounts if one is personal and the other is premier/business.

 

If you have opened both accounts in your name then you may run into probs.

 

Why did your wife not open her own account in her own name?

 

HERES SOME INFO FOR YOU ON THE PAYPAL HOLD THINGY:


Why your payments are held.


• You have been selling on eBay for less than 90 days
• You have an eBay feedback score fewer than 100 as a seller and have not yet established a record of good performance
• You have received fewer than 20 Detatiled Seller Ratings on eBay in the last 12 months or your eBay seller performance is below standard
• You have a high rate of customer disputes or a low eBay feedback percentage
• You have been a PayPal member for less than 6 months and have limited selling activity
• You have a sudden change in selling activities (e.g. suddenly selling expensive items, selling large numbers of items, etc.)
• You happen to be selling in a high risk category such as tickets, travel, gift vouchers, computers, electronics, mobile phones, etc.
Depending on the circumstances, paypal may set aside payments for a single transaction or for all payments to sellers who meet the criteria above.


How can I get the payments released before 21 days.


1. If your buyer leaves feedback (pos) then funds are normally released within 48 hours of that feedback being left.
2. If you decide to send an item trackable then you can add the tracking number to the details of the paypal transaction and funds are then released when the item shows as delivered + 3 days.


What if I have met the criteria for release either earlier or at 21 days and the funds are still held.


Then you can email or phone paypal via contact us bottom of paypal pages with the transaction numbers of the items and ask them to "hurry up" and release your dosh.
