PayPal

So I just got off the phone after talking to a paypal robot.

Can someone please clarifiy this.

Even though I provide a tracking number, I still have to call them to get funds released. Or wait the 21 days. This account is nearly 10 years old, and linked to my 2 other Ebay accounts.

They only release the funds were the status showed they had been delivered. 

What I gathered other than hightened BP was even if I provide a tracking number and want funds released in under 3 weeks is ring up and more or less beg for my own money.

If you haven't sold anything in the last 90 days on any of your accounts then you have to wait 21 days for the funds to clear which is illegal by the way,so you need to call paypal and ask them to clear the funds immediately otherwise you will contact the FOS.

I qualify there. I have sold a fair bit on my combined accounts.

Still much the same answer I'm afraid.

Some huge sellers have had funds held from their smaller accounts even though they are linked to the same paypal account.

 

Just do as already suggested....ring paypal as soon as the item shows as delivered and your funds should be released.  If not, contact the FOS.

Well well and now that PayPal has parted ways with ebay they have also gone back to their slow processing of the withdrawl payments into ones bank accounts.

Used to be 3-5 days but when they all annouced the split it was fantastic that the withdrawls actually took only 1 day even though paypal still said it will take 3-5 days.

But now again back to the snails pace,with my accounts anyway and maybe no one elses.

Just an open vent blowing some steam haha

I have had funds held from another account I have (i am not a huge seller), but they seem to have removed it after about 6 months. It is a very low volume/value account, maybe 5 sales and $50/month.
