How long will my money being on hold?

Hi, i just applied for PAYPAL account yesterday, because i need to receive money monthly to do advertisements for the company i work for which located abroad, and charging the bills to my PayPal seem the best way. But now the money is "on hold", may I know when i can start to use the money?

Normally 21 days as they have sent payment for goods / services so normally funds are released when tracking shows the item as delivered + 1 day.

Maybe they should have used the friends / family option but thats not available in every country and you haven't said where they are located.

Thank you so much! But does it mean in the future everytime I have to wait 21 days for getting the transfer money?

Only whilst you are subject to the 'new seller hold'.

I haven't got an Italian link to give you more info, but if you go to help top of pages > then put in why is my payment on hold or similar it should come out with more country specific information for you.
