21 day hold on a salary deposit to my account????

I teach English online, and received my salary payment today. However, paypal has marked it as payment for goods sold, and is holding my funds for 21 days. How can I remedy this situation?

Its down to how the payment was SENT to your account.

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

2. If they had sent using the send money > family / friends option then you would have had the payment instantly. (However that option is not available in every country).

I completed the 60 days, and even receive an email that I'm now a established seller, why it is still on hold?
