Hello, So yesterday i sold an item on eBay and the buyer paid immediately but since i'm not so common i guess PayPal decided to hold my funds, and then ironically eBay removed my item because it was a violation, yet my buyer paid and i shipped?
Luckily i went onto my PayPal account and mark as shipped, and also it says the funds are still pending.
I'm kinda nervous, should i either intercept the package back to my house, or let USPS continue shipping the item?
I'm not sure. if my item is removed will i still get my payment? or should i just get the package back?
Thanks!

I'd allow the package to just ship to him. It's not his fault that you haven't got the funds yet.
But I would contact either PayPal or eBay and ask them about it. Sometimes it can take a little while for money to transfer over.

I forgot the exact requirments, but it's something like you need to get 50 positive to be feedback to remove the hold.

Since you do not have these requirments, your money will be held for 21 days everytime. You will get your money, it's just very annoying.

I would contact Paypal so that they know whats going on and that you have shipped your package. The person above me is wrong and they don't hold your funds for not having enough feedback because I have never had my funds blocked and I have around 10 positive feedback.

If you're scared that you may lose the money AND the item send it back to your house until Paypal respond and you know you're safe.

You have to sale $250 worth of goods without any troubles and the payment holding things goes away.

OP you should be fine.
Although you should make sure to go to your account tab and see what the fee is going to be so that you leave that much in your PayPal account.

Thank you. They have really lightened the requirments. When it was first introduced I had around 10k in total sales and I had been a member for a few years, I still had my money held. But everyone spoke out against it, it was universally hated.
