It's not just payments from eBay they hold though. Up until recently, just about all withdrawals I made went into my bank account instantly. The last 2, 1 a refund from an online store that I used PayPal for as I couldn't be bothered in getting my bank card and the 2nd a payment from GetMeIn for concert tickets I sold. Now, firstly GetMeIn do not pay you for your sold tickets until after the concert & then payment is released 10 days after the event to make sure you didn't sell fake tickets etc. So I finally get an email from GetMeIn saying payment has been made only to get the PayPal 72hour email. It's my money & nothing to do with PayPal! Also, my refund from an online store PayPal. What right do you have to hold it!? I know this is an old thread but seems it still goes on. Oh & ive had an account for over 3 months & have previously withdrawn higher amounts & received instantly so I don't think the amount or time you've had an account has anything to do with it either One very F**ked off person!
