I can tell you the holds also apply to cash deposits now too! I have added funds and they first started to hold 20% from may 8th deposit and it said they would release the 20% reserve deposited "that day only" on June 21st 2013 from last week. I used a Paypal cash card hoping they wouldn't hold those funds either and they did. It says it holds funds from sales to have a reserve for charge backs - these are not sales funds - these are Paypal cash cards that they charge $3.95 for then hold a average that you spend. So on top of the held funds for 21 days for sales - they are going to hold a 20% or more of the sales proceeds. Now after a month of cash deposits not from sales or selling anything - Paypal now hold 33% of every deposit I make to purchase goods and supply's- So if I need to pay for supply's i have to add 33% to the item just to pay for it! if I even deposit $25.00 they actually held $11.00- it's crazy! They also limit you to $500 a day and 4,000 a month deposits - so if you actually deposited that much money, I'd say they would let you use half, as my reserve keeps going up! It started at $65.00 and I have 323.00 now in reserves and they don't have a set amount or percent ; it's frustrating! So if its from sales your funds are going to be held 21 days and only a portion of that is going to be able to be used as they now hold reserves on sales - and bank transfers, cash deposits etc., ! So if anyone knows how to resolve or fix this - I'd love to know ! I haven't tried the green dot money pack - only one i have not tried !! but when I transferred bank funds- same thing ! I even went as far to put in the paypal here and receive the credit card swipe payment and I swiped my own credit card on my iphone to add funds- they held a portion of all those funds - all my funds; none of was from sales! The 21 days held i thought would stop for me as I've been Paypal- eBay customer since 2003; now funds held reserves for "charge backs"! Anyone else finding this issue ?
