The money my friend sent me is not for buying or selling. And she sent me money not a long while ago before this one and I got that payment immediately. I don’t understand why PayPal holding my money this time.

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.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.
