Thank you for contacting the PayPal Community Forum, and welcome as a new member!
If a buyer pays you and the payment is on hold or unavailable right away, we’ll notify you via email or an alert on your Summary. It’s a common industry practice that we implement to help ensure the safe use of PayPal services by buyers and sellers alike. More information on the payment holds process can be found here - https://www.paypal.com/smarthelp/article/why-is-my-payment-on-hold-and-when-will-it-be-available-faq...
