how to change the on hold status of my money

[daffy97]

Hello! can please someone help me. I'm not a seller but this is how my employer sends my salary. How can I convert it to available balance?

Its down to how the payment was SENT to an account.

1. If sent using money > goods / services option then paypal would see the recipient as a seller and apply the new seller hold. They would also charge a fee.

2. If sent using the send money > family / friends option then the recipient would have the payment instantly (as long as it wasn't an echeque pending with a clearance date) with no fee if funded from a bank account or balance (a fee if you use a card). (However that option is not available in every country).

If they used option 1 by mistake OR you don't have option 2 in your country then...............

If you mark the transaction as processed then the sender may have the option on their account to mark the transaction as delivery/satisfied. If the sender confirms this by clicking on the "Confirm Receipt" button, the funds may be released to you sooner. This is not always guaranteed. 
If not then sadly its 21 days.

Hello! Thank you for your response. I think option number 2 isn't available in my country. Its actually my first time using PayPal. But I'm using PayPal for my salary. Is that still applicable?
