Nothing good. My paypal agent did confirm they have the 21 day hold on withdraws on their account either due to being too new or having a poor track record. They don't understand that hold is for them withdrawing the money but it has cleared into paypal. The hold is imposed so they can ship and the item can be delivered before the money is released and they can also if say it is delivered the next day 26 days till the hold is released can submit tracking showing it was delivered and the money will release 3 days after superseding the 21 days. They don't seem to want to work it this way and asked my paypal business rep to reach out them to clarify how they are supposed do it but not sure if that is something she can do as it is a different country and she may only be assigned to work in a specific area.
Here is what she wrote.
Hello Jordan,
Just like on eBay, sellers subject to holds either because they are still new or they have fallen below expected performance standards. The seller is still expected to ship the item out and if being held under that policy can get the funds released within 3 days of item delivery or 21 days depending on which comes first. I wonder if the merchant is just not clear enough on the policy. You can advise the merchant to contact PayPal customer service clarification.
Have a good one!
Thanks,
