Hi!

 

So I have a very frustrating issue that I have asked PayPal about bust recieved no response.. 3 times. I am a contractor and work for an American company, I live in the UK thereofre use PayPal to get paid.

 

When I do get paid PayPal seem to withold my funds, and they ask me to add tracking info and mark as sent to get paid quicker, however I have no package to send as I am getting paid for a service! Does anybody have any advise? I need PayPal to sort this out because my funds are getting help for about 20 days each time now making my personal financing a complete nightmayre!

 

Any advise is greatly appreciated,

Alex

Its not paypals fault its down to the person sending you that money.

 

If they send it via send money > goods or services then in paypal terms you are a seller and subject to the new seller hold.

 

If they send it via send money > family / friends ie gift payment then it is not classed as a sale and you would get your money instantly.
