I've processed thousands of dollars through them for over a decade and a half, and now this bullshit. Does anyone know if this hold can be removed? I have deposits going in on the 15th, and would rather not wait 21 days to access them. |
It's painfully obvious you've never conducted business with Ebay.
Paypal holds your money on the items you've sold, not money on the items you've purchased. If they were to hold purchasing money, the electronics seller on the other side would not be paid for 21 days. That would be absurd!
Paypal and Ebay are two separate entities. After selling a item on Ebay and have accumulated five positive feed backs of speedy shipping, undamaged items, the financial holding clause is removed.
