Why is my payment being held?
Most PayPal payments are processed immediately. However, if you're a new seller, if you're selling an item in a fraud risk category, or if you've received some low Detailed Seller Ratings (DSRs), your payment may be held until we are confident that the buyer received the item.

Here are some reasons we might hold your payment:

If you've been an eBay member for less than 6 months, and haven't sold very much on eBay yet

If you've a Feedback score of less than 100, and don't have a record of good performance

If you've a buyer dissatisfaction percentage* of 5% or greater

If your average detailed seller rating (DSR) is less than 4.5

If you've received fewer than 20 detailed seller ratings in the last 12 months

If your item is in a high-risk category, such as gift certificates, video games, cell phones, computers, or consumer electronics

If there's an open dispute or claim on the transaction

If the payment is being held in reserve

*Buyer dissatisfaction percentage is measured by calculating negative events as a percentage of your transactions. Negative events include negative and neutral Feedback, Detailed seller ratings of 2 or lower, and disputes for items not received or significantly not as described.

When will my payment be released?
In most cases, PayPal will release the payment:

24 hours after the buyer leaves positive Feedback

3 days after PayPal confirms that the item was delivered

21 days after the payment was sent as long as there was no dispute, claim, chargeback, or reversal filed for the transaction

Tell me about it. My wife and I are starting a selling account so we will have to deal with it too. We have a buying account and have been on there for quite a few years and have over 2500 feedback at 100% but don't want to have that account negged with some of the morons on Ebay so we will be in the same boat as you by starting over.

I am pretty sure nothing can be done with it until it is released.
