It apparently does not matter at all if you are a new PayPal/EBay customer or a long time loyal customer they still are going to hold your funds. I have been with EBay/PayPal for over 11 years as a buyer and (individual) seller with a transaction total to date of 295 with 5 star feed back rating. I sold a light on eBay Nov. 27th, 2011 and they are telling me I cannot access my funds until December 17th. I have my bank account and a credit card as backup funding for my PayPal account but none of this matters to them. Further insult to injury they are not even paying interest on my money while they are using it. They are telling me that the only way not to have my funds held is to have a minimum of 25 transactions a year. I am so disappointed in this new policy I am going to take my business elsewhere.
