Vintage T-Shirt Forum & Community Authentication Appraisals

Hi All,

So I'm starting to get quite excited about selling vintage and have been selling more on ebay recently. Then yesterday I get a letter from PayPal stating that all incoming payments will now be put on hold. It burst my happy vintage t-shirt bubble. My ratings are good and I've never had negative feedback. The whole thing leaves me feeling a bit puzzled. I sold a shirt for $50 today and the payment went right through and another for $5 and it's pending. Very confusing. Anyone had experience with this? Should I ship the pending payment order?

Thanks,

Max

What's their reason for the hold?

could it be this policy is being enforced in your case: http://www.auctionbytes.com/cab/abn/y08/m02/i08/s03

I read that ebay has been putting more limitations on new sellers recently, in so far as volume of items for sale, and payments received.

Jimmy- I'm not sure, they gave no reason for the hold, just sent me to a page of FAQ's on their site. I've never had a dispute and have always shipped items within 24 hrs.

Hermosa- Thanks for the links. I did a bunch of research and looking around last night. Apparently a lot depends on how new you are, how much you have items selling for, and whether or not you track the shipping on every item. A lot of things said if you have items over $100 and you're a new seller that they do it. I tried calling them and they couldn't really give me much explanation, but oh well. Guess I'll wait it out.

Same with me when mine went on hold. They told me that t-shirts were high risk items, which I kind of thought of as odd.

I just made sure to track all packages and shipped items quickly. After about a month or two of that, they released the hold and now I'm paid automatically.

the situation same with me.. I can't listing on ebay.com. they will hold the payment for 21days.. that's why I listing on ebay.co.uk.. the payment received instantly.. i don't know why this happens????
