    Recently i've sold a hardlink on one of my websites.

    I've sold like 10 without a problem. but suddenly I find that one of the transaction has a "Held" status

    today i got an email saying that I have to respond to their claim. claim filed by Paypal.

    Temporary Hold To PayPal Sep. 18, 2008 Placed Details -$20.00 USD $0.88 USD

    what does this mean? the transaction with the buyer went smoothly, and suddenly paypal withdraws that amount ? why is it? because the buyer's credit card defaulted?

    Did the buyer of the link open a paypal dispute? They could have done a chargeback?
