Some people who currently have holds on their account are saying that they can't print shipping labels....that the money won't come out of the funds being held. It might be true. However, I am currently in the situation with having a temporary hold on all incoming funds. I already had money in my paypal account that wasn't affected by the hold when I printed the shipping labels and THAT balance was affected when I purchased the shipping labels (the available balance went down minus the cost of the shipping labels)....but the available balance went back to normal within a few minutes. What happened is that the pending funds remained on hold, but paypal released the amount paid for shipping labels after I purchased them with the money I already had that wasn't affected by the hold. Of course, even though paypal released the amount for the shipping, the hold on the rest of the funds was immediately replaced until the buyer left me feedback. Bottom line: It appears that you need to already have available funds to purchase shipping labels and then the price of the labels will be released to you immediately afterwards.

Hi All,
It is true that funds that are held cannot be used to purchase shipping labels but it is also true that If you print labels and pay for shipping through PayPal or eBay, the cost of shipping will be released from your pending balance shortly after purchase.
