How long will payments be pending?

[Rankin1111]

Hi all! 

I just wanted to find out how long can I expect my payments to continuously be held time and time again? I always mark orders as processed as soon as I get a payment, my clients mark everything good on their end but each time I receive a new payment I have to go through the whole process over and over again. 

Will it be this way every time I receive a payment?

Thank you!

Make sure you've followed the steps outlined here: https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/article/my-payment-is-on-hold.-why-is-this-happening-faq3297

Outside of that you just need to continue completing transactions without issues, and eventually PayPal will stop putting your payments on hold. Most of them anyway. It could happen no matter what type of history you have depending on the product(s) being sold.
