Money being held

[Cpearce710]

This wasnt for a sale. It was simply a friend helping with rent. So of course I dont have shipping information. How do I get the hold off? asap

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 with no fee. (However that option is not available in every country).

There are however some occasions where friends / family payments are held for reviews but these are normally only 24 hours.
