You need to accept PayPal as the only payment method for this listing.

Has anyone ever seen this message? I updated my postcode in the box for where the item is located and I'm not getting this odd message and can't select any other payments.

You need to accept PayPal as the only payment method for this listing.
Learn more about the eBay Accepted Payments Policy.
Some payments may be held in your account to ensure smooth transactions. PayPal will release the hold after 21 days without a buyer dispute, claim, chargeback or other action. The hold may be released earlier if the buyer leaves positive Feedback. Learn more about PayPal's Holds Policy.

I wanted to list something tonight but this is putting me off. Because I can't select what options I want and whats with the garbage about payment holds? I'm aware some payments do get stopped but after buying/selling hundreds I've never had a problem.

    You will need to offer paypal only and your funds will likely be held for 21 days or untill the buyer leaves positive feedback as this is a high risk item.

    It's not likely, but there's a possibility that this will happen

    Usually if you sell an item in one of ebay's high risk categories, usually defined by the requirement to offer paypal payment only, your funds will be subject to the 21 day rule, this may not be so if you have over 100 feedbacks.
