[all day baby]

Last fall Ebay started putting holds on the money for shippers that hadn't met certain requirements. In January Paypal randomly started doing the same thing. They held up my account for a month and then reviewed it and I no longer have anything held. When I called and asked they said there was no specific reason for it they were just going to start doing a review with everyones accounts. If you use DC then you can call paypal once it shows it's delivered and usually they will release your money within 24 hours. Everytime i called it was usually done right then.

They lifted the hold because you weren't hit with low stars. Both the OP and I were. If you sell something, PayPal will release the funds to pay for the shipping, and if you ship for free, they will release the funds a bit quicker, however, they will keep the hold on for however long they told him.
