Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: There are a few good ways to get your PayPal funds released, but the most effective ways of doing so are: 1 Print your labels directly from eBay. By doing this, you (and your customer) will receive the tracking information ASAP. Because PayPal won't release the payment hold until the buyer rates and reviews you, this may be the best way to ensure you get your money in a timely manner. If, however, the package is lost in the mail (or the buyer is unresponsive) PayPal will automatically release your payment hold after 21 days. Unless, of course, the buyer is disputing your store and claiming you sold them junk. This will result in a loss of money, as well as endless amounts of stress. I sold several items with a new ebay and paypal account, all for less than $5. each, and paypal put the 21 day hold on me. I stopped using ebay about 5 years ago after my divorce, and i needed a new account and a new payupal account to sell on ebay. The Keys to Surviving the PayPal 21-Day Hold Policy. The "21 Day Hold Paypal Policy" has created a great deal of frustration for many eBay sellers. Below I have some recommendations for eBay sellers who are looking to ease the pain of this new policy: While everyone is at risk of a PayPal payment hold, there are ways to ensure that it doesn't happen to you. Or, if it does, it won't be often enough to bother you (or your business). Let's talk about some of the ways you can avoid payment holds in the future. eBay sellers who are relatively new (less than 100 feedback or member less than 6 months) or who have had little activity in the last year (fewer than 20 DSRs in the last 12 months) are, therefore, automatically subjected to the PayPal 21-Day hold even if their buyer satisfaction rating is greater than 95%. Keep in mind these few tips to ensure you'll be free of payment holds after a while: 1 Stay consistent with your customers. 2 Keep your DSRs around 4-5. 3 Don't change up your store too fast. 4 Print your labels directly from eBay (if you're selling there) and always enter your tracking number. Still not sure why PayPal has placed your payment on hold? Here are a few reasons to be on the lookout for: You're new to eBay. If you're not a valid seller and haven't sold more than a few items, PayPal will put your payment on hold to make sure you're delivering the item(s) in a timely manner. Whether you're new to eBay or not, PayPal holds will affect you all the same. While this may send you into a pit of despair at first, these holds won't last longer than 21 days. In fact, your payment may not even be on hold for that long! Payment holds can be lifted as the status of the shipped item is updated. Meaning: when your package is marked "shipped" and a tracking number is provided, the hold will be taken away. (If anything, the payment hold will be lifted when the buyer leaves feedback for you). Being a top-rated seller on eBay will come in handy in more ways than one. 1 A few ways to get to the top of eBay's seller list include: 2 Being an eBay seller for more than 6-12 months. 3 Above 95% feedback score. 4 Less than 20 DSRs (Detailed seller ratings) within 12 months.
