Hold funds for 4-5 days before releasing to the seller

I want to make sure the seller fulfils his promise of delivering the services. Can I bet on Paypal to use escrow service and not release the funds until I as buyer is ok with the service delivered.

 

If I send money on Paypal invoice to the seller can paypal hold for 4-5 days before releasing the monies to the seller

PayPal does not have an escrow service.

 

The PayPal 21 day funds availability holds are based on the recipient's account and selling history/behavior and can't order PayPal to put a hold on the payment, nor can it be determined by you.

 

You have 180 days to file a dispute anyway regardless, allowing 7 days before doing so to allow seller to process your order.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
