Payments on hold can take 3 days to progress, this is part of paypal's anti fraud system

Nope payments on 'hold' are up to 21 days.
Read the link as your payment would have been subject to the new seller hold.

Sadly as I'm pretty sure the friends / family option is not available in your country all payments go as goods / services and so are subject to the above policy.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.
