Paying Contractor via PayPal - are his $1K+ held for 21 days?

Hi there,

 

I am working with a contractor who is new to PayPal, he just apparently opened his account, and is worried that his funds (over $1K for his work) will be held for 21 days before he can access them.

 

I can't seem to find any explanation of what he can do to access his funds sooner or if this is even the case?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you

Thanks, I already came across this one and it might be that I am just misunderstanding the article?

 

Since I am not paying him for a product, but actually for re-doing my entire master bathroom, I don't see how he could provide a tracking number or notify his "buyer to confirm the order", since I am not ordering anything.
