I have had my PayPal account for some time, it is not new. I bought on eBay a lot using it but never sold until recently but i was selling some items personally on other marketplaces and Facebook and so on. All my eBay sales bar 2/3 have been held which i understand is eBay's policy on new accounts but why are they holding my non eBay sales, they never used to until i joined eBay as a seller. I have called a few times to speak to them but to be frank their CS is a joke. They don't understand what the hell i'm on about half of the time and when i finally got someone who could understand my inquiries they hung up! TWICE! Neither time was i aggressive or ruse on the call. One of them couldn't even find some transactions on my account bearing in mind they were only done on the 8th of June so very recent. My question though is why are they holding all payments from non eBay sales? Is this normal? I don't want to be sending certain items until i have the money, i made that mistake before! I lost over £600 as someone collected and paid PayPal so until i have money not held i wont send another item unless its eBay as i agreed to this when i signed up to sell.
