Hi, I was a new seller on e bay and I sold two items shipped next day no issues. items have been delivered buyers are happy. My paypal account has been limited. I cannot provide receipts for the items because they were not purchased. They were my father in laws baseball cards and he passed away a year ago. I have heard horror stories about this happening to people and paypal keeping the limitations on the account. So does that mean that the buyer gets the card and I get nothing. Paypal keeps my money? That seems very unfair. Do they eventually release funds or do they just hold them forever?

Are you talking about the new seller hold as per link below?

OR

has your account been temporarily limited and if so then as soon as you resolve any issues in the resolution centre you should be ok.

Or has it been permanently limited?
