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).

The replies so far have been completely unhelpful. They only state why the money was put on HOLD, not how to get the money released.

PAYPAY, please answer the question.

Thank you

Maybe start your own thread and politely ask someone to give up their time to assist you?
