Well looks like Jan 4 they may let me close account cuse even after all this ya still cant close the account.   PayPal you are on your A game in putting blocks up dont ya think .   Started on 12/19/2009 to close account and still unable to do that just got off phone with paypal and he is going to send it to his uper people and see if they can get the 21 day holds removed.  But Bottom line is on next sale it still would be there even if they TOLD me that it was not.   If you would want to fix anything PAYPAL on the hold is let us have the shipping money so we can ship.     ...

Dear , Thank you for contacting PayPal. My name is Sheri and I am sorry you are having to incur holds. I realize this can be frustrating. This email was sent to provide you with more information on payment holds. You may have recently received a hold, or you may have requested information on holds. Why are payments held? We hold payments to help make sure transactions are completed securely and that your customers are satisfied. A held payment will be released once we confirm that the buyer received the item or after 21 days. If we hold your payment, the amount held will appear as “Pending” in your PayPal balance until we release the funds. You will still have access to all other funds in your PayPal account. Why does PayPal use payment holds? Payment holds ensure that sellers have sufficient funds in their account if, for example, a customer files a dispute. This pending balance helps make sure that you’ll have enough money in your account to cover any buyer claims. We know this is a change in the way we do business with you and we hope you understand that, if you incur a payment hold, you haven’t done anything wrong.    In deciding whether to apply payment holds, we review many factors including transaction activity, business type, and customer disputes. How do I find out more about the hold on my transaction? 1. Go to the PayPal website and log in to your account. 2. Click “Account Overview” at the top of the page. 3. Click “Pending Balance". You’ll be able to view hold details, including the estimated length of the payment hold. Ebay item holds are used to improve security and buyer confidence on eBay. For new sellers or sellers with less-than-optimal customer satisfaction ratings, payments may be held as a precaution until the buyer receives their item.    Your payments will typically not be held if you meet all the following requirements:   * You have been an eBay member for 6 months or more.    * Your total feedback score is 100 or greater.    * Your buyer dissatisfaction percentage is less than 5%. Or, if you meet all the following requirements:   * Your average detailed seller rating is 4.5 or greater.    * You have received 20 or more detailed seller ratings in the last 12 months.    * Your buyer dissatisfaction percentage is less than 5%.      If you’ve had more than 5% dissatisfied buyers in the last 30 days, you are required to offer PayPal or a merchant credit card. If you don't yet meet these criteria, we recommend that you implement best practices to reduce buyer disputes, claims and chargebacks.   Once the requirements are met the item holds will discontinue.    If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us again. Sincerely, Sheri PayPal Consumer Support PayPal, an eBay Company       ... View more

Hello my name is Joe Marie. , I do apologize for the inconvenience and confusion this may have caused you and upon cehcking the two payments being held for $450.00 USD, both are international shipment. And since we cannot track international shipment, the only way for the funds to be released is if the buyer leave positive feedback on eBay or after 21 days from the time the buyer completed the payment. If your buyer will not be able to leave positive feedback the funds will be released on your account on Dec. 27, 2009 for the Dec. 5, 2009 payment, and Dec. 28, 2009 for Dec. 5, 2009 payment. I can understand that it can be really frustrating when your payment is held. Be assured that your payment is held just for security reasons. We don't want to lose our valuable member like you because of such policy as you've the option to get your payment released quickly. eBay initiated this policy to make eBay safer place to trade. Sometime the buyer makes the payment and then the seller does not send the item. eBay would never think you would engage on such activities, however when we make changes as large and site wide as this, we have to keep the entire eBay community in mind, and decide what would benefit the majority of members. We agree that due to few handful numbers of fraudsters, sellers like you feel that it is unfair. I understand that it is difficult, however it is how the system is currently set up. Please be advised that these concerns are being taken into consideration by PayPal and we will research on this to further update the service to provide better and more convenient transactions for you. I’ll be glad to hear from you if you need clarification and we will do our best to give you immediate answers. Thank you for choosing PayPal for your online payment needs.  We appreciate your business. Sincerely, Joe Marie PayPal Consumer Support PayPal, an eBay Company ... View more
