eBay SELLERS: When Will "Pending" Payment Release?

    I recently sold an item on eBay. Everything went fine, payment was received and item was shipped.

    HOWEVER, this is my first time selling an item on eBay. My question is this: The payment received via PayPal is in "Pending" status. When will the "Pending" be released and the money be officially in my PayPal?

    as jestep stated, it will take 3-4 days to clear, however it can take up to 30.

    Do not ship/give the item until the payment clears.

    Do you mean it was a hold on the funds?

    it's a new thing they have implemented on ebay after good feedback is left or 21 days payment will be released.

    It normally takes a few days to clear, it just means they paid with an e-check, from now on never ship an item until the pending payment has cleared. If this buyer somehow frauded you they will have the item and you will never receive the money. This is unlikely the case in this situation, but it's never out of the question.

    First time sellers have to place 5 auctions or hold on upto 21 days to receive their payment.

    That's what I read about eBay. Please find out more.
