Help regarding pending funds into my account

Hello all, I’ve recently sold a guitar amp on eBay (last Saturday) which the seller paid for via PayPal on Thursday and I personally dropped the item purchased to his house today. (He wasn’t very responsive re-collection only that was on the listing, ignored a couple of messages asking when would be convenient for him to collect etc) Having a quick browse it seems that adding a tracking no. Will jump start PayPal to release the funds quicker, generally within 48 hours. Unfortunately as I personally dropped it off (was only 30 mins away from my house, near my works office) I’m now, most likely, going to have to wait at the very least the full 21 days. I don’t mind waiting if that’s what it takes. I haven’t sold anything in a while so I’m not too surprised or angry(though it hasn’t happened on previous sales of guitar gear which were sold for more and there was just as long a time in between these sales as this one) It would just be more convenient for me to have the money sooner rather than having it sit there being unusable. Just wondering if there’s any advice for something I could do to speed up the process? FYI ebay and PayPal member for years, sold maybe 10/15 things in total. Rating 100%, bought lots, so the time between sales would most likely be the flag for it pending. Seller also had over 1000 100% feedback. Thanks for any replies, James ... View more
