It will not only be the first...it will be all until you establish yourself

• As a new, infrequent or returning seller your first few payments are subject to a 21 day security hold

• This is to ensure you are genuine & have the items you advertised for sale

• When you look in Paypal (all activity) and it says "pending OK to send" then you must send the item

• Your funds will be held for 21 days in order to allow you to send the goods, for them to arrive & be checked by the buyer & for any possible issues to be resolved

• This process can be accelerated to just 7 days if you send the item by a tracked service with online delivery confirmation. When you add the tracking number to eBay & Paypal & it shows delivered then on day 8 the funds are released

• More info here - reported that good feedback releases funds after 4 days but you might have to chase this if not automaticelly picked up by eBay bots https://www.paypal.com/uk/webapps/mpp/security/ebay-payments-learn-more

• This is also for your protection as new accounts or those not often used for selling are generally those targeted by hackers. If Paypal released the funds before a problem was noticed & the hacker got away with the money.....then as your account was used...YOU would be responsible for the refund

 

 

Yes, funds are held for new or infrequent sellers for 21 days.

 

A tracking number or feedback from the buyer will release your funds sooner:
