<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 817723, member: 13650&quot;]Not so fast.&nbsp; Ebay owns paypal.&nbsp; A couple weeks ago, I talked with an ebay representative for about half an hour on live chat.&nbsp;&nbsp; A guy I know was selling something out of the ordinary from what he usually sells and he still has less than 50 feedback.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Ebay customer service says that paypal flags certain sellers on certain auctions at random!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; There was a whole list of criteria that might get a seller flagged.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you do get flagged, the money the buyer sends you is held in your paypal account until the buyer is happy with the transaction and leaves a positive.&nbsp;&nbsp; His money was tied up for that auction but not for other stuff he sold.&nbsp; It&#039;s very strange and yes, annoying if it happens to you.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;For example, if you&#039;ve been primarily selling car parts for 2 years and all of a sudden you go to sell an old antique doll, in that category, and you have less than 50 feedback, you may be flagged.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; There was a looong list of stuff they&#039;re looking for.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ve never had money held up in paypal yet as a seller.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
