I sell digital art so there is no shipping, how do I get my money faster?

I’m a digital artist and I take commission from people. Since it’s digital art I don’t have to ship anything and I’ve heard the reason PayPal holds your money for 21 days is because they want to ensure the package gets to the buyer. How do I get my money faster?

With payments received for tangible goods Paypal would request valid tracking information confirming the funds have been delivered to the buyer.

Paypal can validate the tracking information online, once it is delivered they can release the funds. As you have received the funds for a digital item then no tracking number is applicable and Paypal would be unable to release the funds any sooner than 21 days.

The buyer may have the option on their account to mark the transaction as delivery/satisfied. If the buyer confirms this by clicking on the "Confirm Receipt" button, the funds may be released to you sooner. This is not always guaranteed.
