Hi,
I've been selling digital products on my website for a few weeks now, I've had over 10 transactions but only 4 out of the 10 have gone straight into my account the others have been left for pending.
Why is this? I understand if I sold them through eBay I'd get the hold because of being a new seller but when someone purchases through my website I still get holds.. I don't understand.
If anyone could help me out that would be great.
Thanks

Also be careful as you have NO seller protection for digitial / virtual items and they are high risk of chargebacks.
