Paypal hold payment

Not_The_Momma_2

Hello

I am new to selling on EBay. I have brought a few bits and have 100% feedback but have now started selling few bits.

I have sold couple items (high price items over £50 each) and paypal have "held" the until buyer leaves feedback or 21 days has lased with no chargeback / reversal or dispute. I dont mind i can see why they do it - stop scammers -


Do you have to reach a certain feedback score before they dont hold the money as a friend said they never hold her money but she has a very high feedback number (300+)

Thank you for any answers.

Refund one penny on each held payment and it should be automatically released.

I wouldnt risk that as people have been banned for the refund trick (just look at the ebay forum). Personally I think its very bad advice

Thank you for the advice all. I dont really want a trick round it just wondered do they do it forever or is it when you reach a certain amount of feedbacks or sells etc.

I tried to look on EBay site but couldnt find the answer.

When you get over 100 feedbacks they stop it.............well that's the official ebay/paypal line anyway.
