More information about holds

When your money is on hold, it still belongs to you. It's just temporarily unavailable to use, so we can learn more about your selling habits. We do it to protect both our buyers and sellers as best we can. In the long run, this practice helps us to ensure a safer place to do business.  

We review sellers accounts on a regular basis. Establishing a good selling history with us will help to avoid holds in the future.
