Money On Hold or Pending

[Darwin9217]

I'm not a seller. I received my money from my work. Why it takes too long to receive the money? It stated that payment received and I already have the tracking number but why is that still on hold.

Its down to how the payment was sent to an account.

1. If sent using money > goods / services option then paypal would see the recipient as a seller and apply the new seller hold. They would also charge a fee.

2. If sent using the send money > family / friends option then the recipient would have the payment instantly (as long as it wasn't an echeque pending with a clearance date) with no fee if funded from a bank account or balance (a fee if you use a card). (However that option is not available in every country).
