Money on hold

[User4675]

My friend sent me $60 for something I got him as he didn't have cash but now I have to wait 21 days. How can I get my money quicker.

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).

Thanks but im not sure what it would be as it was sent by my paypal.me link.

You have a business account so your paypal.me link is ALWAYS goods and services.

You can't accept friend / family payments with a business paypal.me link.
