21 day hold workdarounds?

Here have been explained that with providing ID/PoA they increase the limits, but curious if they remove the 21-day hold as well. Also curious about if this is true, maybe 'yes' because as far as I can see the SEA eB region they're asking for exactly the same docs with NO mention about the "90 days hold" or so.

Someone might try and give tips/feedback.

I have had accounts up to 100/12,000 that haven't had 21 day holds removed, and I have an account that has 2 sales that have had the 21 day hold removed. Just like selling limit increases, it seems pretty random.
 
It is not 21 day holds anymore within the UK and US. Provide tracking and its max 2-4 days.
Recently 21 day holds have been seen to be removed quickly as long as you can build feedback in the correct categories.
 
Not everyone can provide a real tracking number if they're selling digitally delivered goods (e-books, game keys, some guides, etc.). So dunno about "fak3" tracking number.

Seems to me selling digital goods leaves the seller too vulnurable to scammers who claim they they didn't receive it. Fake traking #'s would get you banned, as it is easy to determine if a tracking # is real or not.
 
Chinese & HKs eB sellers are keep selling digital items (keys) for years (over 7-8 or so). And new eB sellers are continue doing that. Yeah, it's vulnerable but still... they're doing that for life. Of course they're providing something in this form where they provide a tracking number, of course this won't be real because they're selling so many items/daily. Whole business model. Not to mention in-game gold for FIFA, LoL, WoT, WoW, D3, etc.

If you haven't noticed, Chinese & HK eB sellers play by different rules than us here in US or Europe. eB is so desperate to get marketshare in China that they let Chinese sellers get away with stuff that we couldn't dream of.
 
Put a policy that if you want to be a high item digital good then the buyer needs to go on webcam with the id matching the name on the buyer account and the rest can be blacked out. Watch how many don't buy and you will get few sales, but at least you made some money.
