Hi there,
While buying bitcoins, I used to have 21 days pending when someone sends me the funds to my PayPal account, and now they got increased to 30 pending days.
Those funds stay in my pending balance (I won't be able to withdraw them or send them to someone else) unless the 30 days time pass which makes it very insecure for me since I'm trading Bitcoin (irreversible).
Till now, no one chargebacked, and I didn't get any issues but having the funds in pending makes me worried for a whole month...
I want to know your experiences with this Pending crap (that I never had before) and how I can remove it? I searched little bit and found that I should sell in eBay or shit ?? which doesn't make much sense since AFAIK ... PayPal and eBay are not related anymore.
What's your account status on PP? In my years of selling and buying online I haven't had this pending status ever. Account age and transaction history may be factors, I'd suggest you upgrade your account to Premier and see if you still get the pendings.
My account was premier then I upgraded it to Business so I don't think I will be able to downgrade it again, I will contact the support and see what happens, though.
As for the status, I have both Neteller MasterCard & E-coin Visa card linked to the account which as far as I know makes the account fully verified.
