So I've been selling on eBay and using PayPal for a longggg time. I think my first eBay sale using my PayPal account was in 2011. A couple months ago, I sold around 40 items that were very small and inexpensive (it was a small face cream). However, in the last month, I've stepped up my eBay game and have been selling a lot of stuff that's bigger and more expensive (iPhones, Xboxes, etc). I stopped having my funds held by PayPal after I sold a few of those face creams because I'd finally reached the number of sales transactions. However, now, after selling about 14 items, I just got a notification that all payments that I receive from buyers will be held from now on. In the email, it said my account has a "limited buying and selling history with PayPal." Clearly, this is simply not true. I've had this account for years and have had MANY buying and selling transactions on it. I have never had ANY buyer disputes at all on my PayPal or eBay account. When I look on the website, it says: For future payments, you can remove the 21-day delay by meeting these targets: Complete 10 successful sales. Complete Receive at least $500.00 in payments for goods. Complete Be a PayPal account holder in good standing for at least 60 days. 0/60 days So it says I've completed everything except being in good standing for 60 days. This makes no sense because I've been in good standing for YEARS. And all of a sudden this completely randomly happened. It's really frustrating because I rely on being able to use buyer's payment funds immediately when I am selling large expensive items. Has anyone had this happen to them before? Any solutions?
