Hello,
I have a situation here.
My money is on hold, again.
I am aware of PP privacy policy and so on. A PP customer support told me a few months ago that once I earn 10.000$ through pay pal, this ON HOLD thing will be a past.
Today, I received funds and again they are on hold.
I have earned over 10.000$.
Also, tried to contact support. Spend over 20$ in the past hour, but the only "person" I could get was a recorded mesage.
Does anyone have the same experience? What to do?
I am not a seller or any, but a freelancer that uses PP to lift money.
Can you please help me as I am getting desperate here.
Thank you.

If there is an option to mark comleted you can use it but your services are still high risk for PayPal as they can easily be disputed. PayPal will initiate holds to protect it's own business from your risk.

Generally a freelancer sells services. I assume you paid for freelance jobs. That makes you a seller of services and you should be receiving funds as goods/services and paying a fee. This is a high risk business for PayPal as you have no tracking to show delivery and are at high risk of non-receipt disputes. PayPal will likely maintain large holds to protect it's own business from the risk you are placing on PayPal. You may get to the point of rolling reserves. It's all part of the holds policy.

So basically, that is it. You work and you get your payments held 30 days. Although I have marked "job" as a Processed?
Is it possible that my client confirms me as a receipt?
It was an option while ago?
Is it still available as I am trying to speed up my transactions? Done everything possible and still no moving forward.
HELP!

So unfair.
I know it is a policy, but not fair at all.
They protect their business while making us wait.
Honestly, I do not see a point of using Pay Pal Anymore. They take their fee immediately while making us wait.
Great system. Thank you Pay Pal.

I agree that it is unfair to suddenly start holding payments I receive from my own daughter to pay people who are working for us. Now I have to make them wait to be paid since PayPal suddenly started "holding" my money sent from her. We have been doing this for a long time and her funds are always "good"...so I have no idea why suddenly I can't use the funds she sends me. I was given no warning that this would be happening, so I am stuck until the funds are released. I used to love using PayPal, but now I am wondering....
