I plan to never use Paypal anymore because of this hold.   Its not fair to the seller.

The below comment about making money does not apply to pending amounts, only money you have in your normal account.  I tried that same thing and it shows I am earning interest on $0.00 when I have over $130 in my pending account, this whole thing is BS.  PayPal acts like a bank without having to follow bank laws.  I sold something because I needed the cash now, not 3 weeks from now.  There reasons are BS too.  They are implying that any new buyer is a risk.  What happend to inocent until proven guilty?  It takes 3 days to confirm tracking?  also BS!  thats the whole point of tracking, so you know when something arrived.  It puts the sellers at risk.  All they have to do, is say the item never arrived or was broken.  the pending money then gets sent back to them and we have no way of getting the product back.  We cant even leave negative feedback on a buyer, so what do they have to lose?  They either pay for the item if the payment goes right through, or if its pending, can complain, and get the item for free.  No protection for the seller.  Unless this blatent bullying goes away, i will be moving to another system.

Pending amounts for $1.00 are often pre-authorization holds... they should drop off after a few days.

 

Did you send any PayPal payments?

"do i really have to wait 20 days for payment"

 

If your payment is subject to the 21-day eBay Item Hold, the payment may be released the earlier of when the buyer leaves positive feedback or 3 days after PayPal confirms delivery of the item.

 

Otherwise, the payment will be released after 21 days.

I had buyers leave + feedback  ten days ago and still my funds are being held!

  I suggest everyone to file  a complaint with the FTC

Yeah, same thing happened to me. It seems like the process isn't automated, I had to call to get my funds released.
