How long must a new member on Ebay with zero feedback wait to leave feedback for a purchase?

Question

I sold an item and Im tryin to get around the 21 day Paypal hold. The winner has paid but Paypal is holding the funds hostage and I wont send merchandise until the funds are released. I have good feedback personally but the buyer which I have contacted a few times says that Ebay wont let him give me positive feed back. His account was opened 2 days ago. When is that feedback situation going to be lifted for the buyer so he can leave me positive feedback so the funds can be released?

Answer 1

You do have the funds. It's just not available to you because of the hold. It's irritating I know.

I'm a seller on ebay also, and I think it's unfair to a point, because they even hold the shipping cost. Though the reason they do this usually is because of high risk items such as Laptops/ I Phones etc.

But not always. They placed a hold on a lot of stamps that I sold for $13.00. I didn't understand why. But I still shipped it out.

I'd just ship the item and make sure to send with delivery confirmation. The buyer did pay you. It's only fair for you to ship it out to them.

Remember your gripe is with paypal, not the buyer.
