This week i sold one item last night for $39 i check and the buyer paypaled me the $ but there is a hold on the $ till the buyer gets the items.

That is odd. I know that sometimes eChecks can take several days to clear. But if you are saying that the money is being held until the items are received by the buyer it does sound fishy to me. I wouldn't feel right about that at all. Try contacting PayPal customer service to see if they can explain exactly what is going on.

Its probably an echeck hold. I have almost 1000 positives and never seen any kind of COD hold.
Especially since that means shipping charges are held. Your probably not going to get in touch with paypal , umm ever. Go into paypal , click details on that transaction and see if it says an expected clearing date. |

Im not sure, but wasnt this a more recent thing with ebay/paypal for larger purchases? I know my friend who sells a lot of vinyl toys on ebay, just recently sold something for 700 dollars or so and paypal/ebay had the money on hold in paypal untill his package was recieved by the buyer (tracking is manditory for the cash hold)

I had all my money held at first until I got 12 positive transactions on ebay. But early on in a new account they do this now. And items that sell over a certain amount of money take at least until item is confirmed delivered.

Transaction Details -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ship now Payment Status: On Hold - Ship now Make sure to ship the item right away, so you'll have access to the funds sooner. We'll release the hold in 21 days unless you receive a dispute, claim, chargeback, or reversal on the transaction subject to the hold. We may release the hold earlier if either of the following occurs: the buyer leaves you positive feedback on eBay, or we confirm that the item was delivered.* We can confirm delivery if you ship the item with USPS, FedEx, or UPS, and either use PayPal shipping labels or upload tracking information from the transaction details page. This applies to transactions within the United States. Learn more about the PayPal policy for payment holds for eBay items.

That happened to me once or twice as sell. The buyer must have requested it. Check the buyer's feedback rating, if it is high you will probably be fine. IF it is a new buyer I would send him a message stating that he has to releazse the hold or you will not complete the sale. This way you don't get taken. Ebay doesn't give a shit about it's sellers, they would happily let you be taken to make a buyer satisfied. It's one of the reasons I just stopped selling on ebay.

I don't know, this happened to me when I first set up my paypal for all my sales. SOmehow I think you got away with earlier purchases, or perhaps it doesn't apply for ebay motor sales

I have never had this happen but then again it is because of this kind of stuff that I have stopped selling anything on E-bay.
As a buyer I love E-bay but as a seller, they suck. Try and see if the buyer will release the money.
