I sold an item a few days ago, and the buyer transferred the money to my PayPal. I got an email from PayPal about the money, but after verifying my identity, verifying that the package was shipped, setting up my bank account with PayPal and doing everything else that I was told to do by PayPal to collect my money, the money is still on hold and I need to know if there is anything else that can be done for me to get it immediately?

Why are my payments for non-eBay sales pending and how can I prevent this?
To keep your money safer, we're placing your payments from sales to one side, in your pending balance. This is commonplace for new or inexperienced sellers, but can also affect experienced sellers. As long as there are no problems with the transactions, you’ll have the money within 21 days.

- Receive a predetermined number of payments
- Wait a predetermined number of days from the date you received your first payment.
