Paypal Hold/Pending Question???

Hellwig · 11-27-2012, 12:38 AM

Ok so I sold a card on Ebay not very expensive (less than $5) but the guy paid right away. So I thought all was fine. I then purchased an item off a retail website without checking my paypal account.

I had no balance in my paypal account prior except what I thought was the $5 transaction. So the retail transaction was funded using a combination of my $5 balance & credit card. Well turns out a hold was placed on the $5 transaction I made on Ebay and now the transaction I made on the retailers website is listed as pending.

I also dropped the card off at the post office.

Anything to worry about???

If you are a new seller, you are subject to Paypal's 21 day hold. If you used DC, upload it to paypal and the funds should be released within 3 days after delivery, or the buyer leaves positive feedback. Otherwise it will be 21 days before you can spend the money.
