In deciding whether or not to hold funds in a pending balance, we review many account factors including transaction activity, the rate of customer disputes, the type of business a seller runs, average delivery time frames, customer satisfaction, performance and history. We understand that some experienced sellers may be affected. While history with PayPal is important, it's only one of many factors we consider.
Though we can't include every reason your account may have been affected here, here are some common reasons:
?You have limited history or selling activity with eBay and PayPal

?You have a high rate of customer refunds, disputes, claims or chargebacks
?You're selling in a high risk category or industry such as, but not limited to, tickets, travel, gift certificates, computers, consumer electronics, or cell phones

?The account information you have provided is incomplete or inaccurate, or we're uncertain with the information you've provided
?Your withdrawal activity has changed
