I would just put the items up for auction and leave it at that. They might do better than BIN. If you have fixed prices, why not list those on this forum first to see if there are any takers - the Pentax stuff anyway....
I did think of offering them here,I might just to see if there's any interest.

Just put the SP500 up for anyone interested, it's here

Thanks Mike, that's usefull, it's a while since I used buy it now.

The last sales were auctions and I didn't get this warning, maybe I should just ignore it and place the items for sale.

Incidentaly the listing fees are 40p regardless of price asked, that seems a lot since I last used this format.

When I visit paypal everything seems OK.

The account isn't in dispute, the account type is a premier.

I can't see anything wrong, unless it's picking on the fact that I have 3 buy it now items to list!

I haven't put them up yet John.

The items are a spotmatic 500 with non asahi lenses(£35), aMES and miranda lens (£20) and ink cartridge (£4).

Not high value or obscure items. The warning appeared when I started the process to list and calculated fees, I stopped at this point.

Warning 1 of 1

PayPal may hold some of your payments in your account. PayPal will release the hold when you receive positive feedback or after 21 days without a buyer dispute, claim, chargeback or other action.

Note: This warning applies to all listings in the grid

I have positive feed back on all my sales, pay my invoices and have a verified account. The items on the list, 3 at the moment, are buy it now.

Why am I getting this warning?

Does everybody get it?

Comments please.

Good luck hefty. I'll watch with interest.

I forgot to mention the MEF and manual that went to a dealer for less than £20!

On a recent trip abroad I resorted to the kit 18-55 and a Sigma 55-200, both light and easy to carry, the range given proving very useful.

Around home I play with older manual primes and a Tamron 70-300 amongst other lenses.

Make of that what you will!

There's a seller on there called hefty2002 who has some lovely Pentax stuff from time-to-time and you can buy from him with confidence...
Ive heard he's a bit, you know...

..reliable.

Seriously now, 2 50mm 1.7 lenses sold well over £60, one to poland the other france, and a stereo kit to a dealer for next to nothing.

As it's now free to list if you start at 99p how many people will get what their kit is worth?
And how many foreign dealers are there hoovering up cheap, for them with the pound so low, items? :
