Hi There, eBay Does NOT Have A Live Chat Unless You Are New To eBay Which In That Case I Strongly Recommend You Read The Policy & User Agreements That PayPal & eBay Have Together To Know What Your Signing Up For & What Your Getting Youself Into Selling On Their Site(s). As For Your Holds On PayPal, To Receive Your Funds Quicker You Must Add Tracking Info & Once Both PayPal & eBay Systems Read The Tracking Info & Can Confirm That The Item Has Been Delivered, Your Funds Will Be Released 3 Days After & If Its Not You Can Either Call PayPal & They Will Release It Manually For You OR You Can Call eBay & They Will Transfer You To PayPal & Also Provide An SR # Along With A Unique Transaction ID To Provide To The PayPal Agent So They Can Ggive eBay A Call About Your Specific Situation. Keep In Mind That If Your Item Is Delivered Lets Say On 3:49pm, Then It Will Be Released 3 Days After Delivery At 3:49pm. SOMETIMES If The System Reads That It Is A Low Amount Payment & Your A Good Seller Then SOMETIMES The System Releases The Funds 1 Day Earlier BUT Since Your In Live Chats With eBay Which This Is Only For New eBayers Then Your Funds Will Be On Hold Until 3 Days After The Delivery Date. This Program Will Further Until You Sell 25 Items In Total & Up To $150 In Total For Sales & Have Been An Active Member On eBay For More Than 90 Days. After This Program Is Complete Then They Will Lift This Off Your eBay & Paypal Account & You Will Receive Instant Payments To Your PayPal Funds IF You Require Immediate Payment(s) From Your Buyers. Keep In Mind This Is Not Done To Take Your Money Away From You, This Is Just A Common Basic Practice Done To Ensure That If Anything Is To Go Wrong With The Tranaction Then The Hold Is To Prevent The Seller From Spending The Funds & Risk His/Her Account Balance Going Negative. Once An Item Is Delivered The Buyer Has 3 Days To Open The Package & See If He/She Is Satisfied With The Item(s) & If Not Satisfied Then They Have 3 Days To File A Claim/Dispute On eBay/PayPal. Also, Keep In Mind That If Your Account Graduates From This Program But PayPall System Sees That You Have Many Cases & Refunds Opened & Closed Then They Will Add Another Pending Program To Your Account For Up To 3 Months Until Your Account Is Cleaned & This Program Will Affect ALL Incoming Payments From Any Site(s) That You Have Buyer(s) Not Just eBay! The Holds Are To Ensure That eBay & PayPal Is A Safe,Secure & Trusted Place To Shop & Sell To Each Other. Keep In Mind The Higher The Payment Is The Longer The Hold Might Be & The More PayPal Might Investigate Into It BUT As Long As You Develop A Good Selling History Then Your Funds Will Be Released Quicker. (Feedback Is Part of That But Doesnt Affect Your Holds On Sales) If It Has Been 3 Days After The Delivery Day Then Call PayPal & Tell Them About This Policy & They Should Be Able To Release It To You Manually IF The Time Frame Has Passed! Also, Please Provide Them The Reference Number Given To You From eBay For Faster Service or Have eBay Transfer You With A Reference Number & SR # For Faster Service As Well & Explain That eBay Has Released These Funds To You. Hope I Helped With Your Situation! Have A Good One & Welcome To eBay & Good Luck To You Selling! (Read Those User Agreements & Policies) Thank You!
