Payments held under the 21 day hold policy are released after 21 days if the buyer doesnt open a dispute in that time. If you can demonstrate delivery, or if you receive positive feedback for an ebay sale, the payments can be released earlier. Where you dont have feedback, or online proof of delivery, then I'm real sorry but you'll have to wait for the full 21 days to pass

 

You could try sending your buyers a polite feedback request, explaining the reason for sending it. However,  some buyers dislike feedback reminders so much that they get angry and leave bad feedback. Its unfortunate, but the best solution is to sit it out Smiley Sad

Hi there riam33,

 

 Payments on hold should be released after 21 days have elapsed. As 22 have passed for you I would contact Customer Services as they should be able to release your payment for you.

 

I hope this information helps you

Hi there johntravolta13,

 

When you receive positive feedback from a buyer and the payment is currently being held, the funds should be credited to your PayPal balance between 24 and 72 hours or so. If the money has still not been released after 72 hours, you should contact us directly by clicking the 'Contact Us' link at the bottom of any PayPal webpage and we can release the funds to your account for you.

 

I hope this helps Smiley Happy,

 

David.

Hi David

I just saw your response to pending payment. Can I just check. When I receive an email stating that the held payment has been released, does the 24 - 72 hour rule also apply?

Hey there Love2Shop,

 

If you get an email stating the funds have been released, then no, the funds should be in your account.

Hi there Kerryx,

 

If your payment has been placed on hold, you should see this on your transaction details page. Is there any open cases or anything on your 'Resolution Centre'? Have you tried to contact PayPal directly in order to determine exactly why your payment is being held and also how to have it released?
