PAYPAL PROBLEMS VIA EBAY, by mickthegreek on Aug 25, 2010 0:47:21 GMT 1, Not sure if I have posted this in the correct place.
Has anyone had problems from Paypal via ebay, I have had both these acounts frozen because I sold a print for ยฃ1550 and they want to review both accounts.
Paypal have asked me for a copy of my driving licence, utilliy bill, and invoices for stuff I have sold on Ebay.
Ebay have removed my listing for my Pulp Fiction. The buyer was in Australia and had emailed me saying she would like to pay in three instalments over ten days which was fine but you can't do this if you use paypal via Ebay. I also have money in the Paypal account I cant take out and I have sent other the goods which I had sold.
I sent her the email for paypal, but when I relised they had limited the account, I sent her another email add for an old paypal account. She has paid half the money in two days, but ebay have sent her a msg saying beware of this seller if you have paid for this item please contact yoour bank to stop payment.
Does anyone know how long it takes to sort out, I have phoned them and lets just say English is not their first laungage.
I could lose the sale down to these Idiots.
Much Love
Mick The Greek.

PAYPAL PROBLEMS VIA EBAY, by Brushstrokes 75 on Aug 25, 2010 1:15:29 GMT 1, Hmmm Hmmm poor you. Happened to me in May. Sold some of my warhols on ebay and received almost ยฃ7,000 through ebay. They restricted my account saying that my transaction number and amount volume was surprinsingly high during this period... Have to say that it was a total nightmare.
They asked me for all the tracking number of stuff sold, copy of invoices of the items I was selling (tough to show an invoice for something your dad had for 40 years...) and authenticity certificates of everything.
I was calling them everyday and it doesn't really help... Provided all the shipping info straight away, gave the receipts I got from some of the pieces and explained that I couldn't give receipts for everything (how should I give a receipt for an exhibition invitation that my dad got 40 years earlier.....).
SO they basically asked me that the buyers who bought the stuff I sold to leave feedbacks for the selected items... Paypal said that they wouldn't unlock my account before that. So after harassing some buyers, they left feedbacks. But who never had a buyer that never leaves any feedbacks.. and one of my buyers was like this, the guy hasn't let a feedback for 5 years on ebay!!!
After pushing and pushing, showing that the item have been delivered for 2 weeks by then and that it was the cheapest stuff I sold for $500... They finally unlocked my account after about 3 weeks!
Paypal is never sorry about anything. Obviously, I sold stuff because I really needed too and that really f***ed me up.
SO good luck now and just provided everything you can, if you can't provide a receipt then just write an email and explain why you can't....

PayPal Payment Holds
We're committed to providing you and your customers with a fast and secure payment service while keeping our prices competitive. To keep ourselves on track, we've established a Funds Availability Policy.
We might be throwing some new words at you here, but we promise to explain them in detail. As part of our Funds Availability Policy, "reserves" may apply to certain accounts. A reserve is a percentage of your payments that'll be released at a later date. A related term is "payment hold." A payment hold is a type of reserve in which 100% of the funds received are held for a specified amount of time. Payment hold - a longer definition
A payment hold is an amount of money that belongs to you, set aside by PayPal, while we make sure that your customers are satisfied. The payments received are held temporarily as a pending balance in your account, and released after a given timeframe. The funds may be released early if PayPal determines that the transaction has been fulfilled and your customers are satisfied.
Please note: Although not available for use, the funds are yours and will be reflected in your pending balance and eligible for money market dividends* for eligible accounts. Why does PayPal hold payments?
Payment holds ensure that sellers have sufficient funds in their account if, for example, a customer files a dispute. This allows PayPal to provide a fast and secure payment service to you and your customers while keeping our prices competitive.
We know this is a change in the way we do business with you and we hope you understand that, if your payment is held, you haven't done anything wrong. In deciding whether to hold payments, we review many factors including transaction activity, business type, and customer disputes. When do payment holds apply?
Payment holds may be applied to some or all transactions in your account. Here are some common reasons for holding payments:
* You have limited history or selling activity with eBay and PayPal * You have an eBay feedback score of less than 100 or received fewer than 20 Detailed Seller Ratings in the last 12 months, and do not have a record of good performance * If you have low Detailed Seller Ratings or other indication of below standard performance on eBay * You have a high rate of customer disputes, claims or chargebacks * You're selling in a high risk category or industry such as, but not limited to, tickets, travel, gift certificates, computers, consumer electronics, or cell phones * Your payment activity is inconsistent. For example, you have a spike in selling activity or you started selling in a new category without an established history in that category * The account information you have provided is incomplete or inaccurate
If your payments are held, PayPal will provide you with notice specifying the terms. The terms may require that the amounts received into your account are held for a certain period of time. PayPal will re-evaluate your account periodically and contact you when we stop applying payment holds.
If your payments are held, the funds will be shown as "pending" in your PayPal balance. When does PayPal release the payment?
Payments will be held in a pending balance for a certain time period. For example, if you receive a $100 payment (after fees), the $100 will be held in a pending balance for the specified amount of time. After the hold is released, the money will be available for withdrawal.
The money may be released sooner if:
1. We can confirm that the item was delivered and 3 days elapse** 2. Your buyer leaves positive feedback (Applies only to eBay items)
To get access to this money more quickly, please process this order right away and communicate with your customers early and often. What can I do to avoid payment holds?
Here are some things you can do:
* Improve your DSR feedback rating * Avoid buyer disputes, claims, and chargebacks * If you have a buyer dispute, resolve it quickly * Process your orders right away and ship quickly using a service that provides tracking and delivery confirmation * Communicate early and often with your buyers * Make sure you confirm your address and phone numbers and keep them up to date * Verify your account and keep your financials up to date
I'm a new seller. Will payments I receive be held?
Not necessarily. If you're a new seller with PayPal, we may hold your payments until you establish a record of good selling performance. I'm a tenured PayPal seller. Will payments I receive be held?
Not necessarily. If you don't have a record of good performance or have limited selling activity or other indication of potential performance problems, your payments may be held. Can held funds be used to pay for shipping?
If you print labels and pay for shipping through PayPal or eBay, the cost of shipping will be released from your pending balance shortly after purchase. Printing labels on eBay and PayPal is free. You're charged only the cost of shipping.
* For US customers, if you are enrolled in the PayPal Money Market Fund, you will earn interest on your held funds.
**For US domestic shipments only, we can confirm delivery if:
* You ship the item with UPS, USPS or FedEx and upload tracking information from the transaction details page or * You use PayPal or eBay shipping labels. Please note that for US shipments, PayPal shipping labels can be used with USPS and UPS, and eBay shipping labels can be used with USPS.
Once the tracking number reflects the shipment is delivered, PayPal will review and may release the Hold after 3 days elapses. This provides enough time for the buyer to review the shipment and file a dispute if necessary.
Hope this helps.....

Tell me about it, i got stuck on the phone for hours once. Paypal wouldn't let me deposit the money from my PP account to my bank account.
