Hi there,
I'm new to ebay but recently I sold a few items. I checked Paypal to see that it says the payments are complete aside from one still pending due to being an eCheque.
However, when reading the Paypal balance of how much I have in my account it claims to still be pending? Is this something to do with the 21 days hold on new Ebayers? Is it safe to send those items off to the buyers and then my payment will be cleared completely due to feedback left from the buyers?
Thanks,
- Mr West.

Hi Mr_West,
When your balance in your PayPal account is pending, this means that funds are on hold. Funds received for items sold on eBay when you are a new seller can be held for up to 21 days. If you receive positive feedback from your buyer, or supply tracking information to show that the item has been delivered at the buyer’s address (for three days or more) the hold can be lifted before the 21 days.
Hope this helps,
Maria

I also have a pending account and it states that it is not going to be released until after christmas, I have provided tracking on 2 of the items and the other I have had positive feedback but my account is still pending, It states that because of this then you may be able to get the money sooner but I dont know how to go about geting the account chaged.
thank-you

Hi Catherinegillen,
Normally your payments will be released automatically three days after tracking information shows delivered at the buyer’s location or when the buyer leaves positive feedback. If you notice that it is still on hold, you can Customer Services to request a manual review.
Hope this helps,

Hi
I have the same problem, I have recently sold and still selling some items on ebay, I got the payment and have posted first class and the 1 item should of definately got there by now. I have not recieved any feedback yet on ebay and do not know if I will, and it is saying pending balance. I really need the money and to withdraw it into my bank account as going on holiday very soon, so could do with a bit extra money. What should I do?
Thanks

Hi Rwollacott,
If you don’t have a tracking number for your item, the buyer would need to leave positive feedback in order to release the payment early. Have you tried to contact the buyer to see if they have the item yet? If they have received it and are happy with the item, you could ask them to leave feedback so your funds will be released.
Hope this helps,
Maria

I'm on the same issue, the transaction says completed but the person that I sent the money to says its on pending status, only difference is that this was a family/friends transaction, what I'm looking at? Since they need to get that money asap!?

Hi Ibakalao,
Thank you for posting and welcome to the Community Forum!
I’m sorry to hear about the challenge with the pending payment.
Is the transaction ‘Pending’ on your account, or it’s ‘Completed’ on your account but showing as ‘Pending’ on the recipient’s account?
Regrettably we can’t see your account details here. If the transaction is still pending, I would recommend you calling PayPal Customer Services by clicking onto Contact us on any PayPal page as they will be able to review your account.
We also provide support via Social Media (24/7). You can contact us directly on Twitter @AskPayPal or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/PayPalUK.
Hope it helps.
Anna
