Hi @MarkusPretorius,
Thank you for contacting PayPal community.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
Unfortunately, we don't have account level access to release the hold.
Please refer guide link.
If you are experiencing delayed funds availability, here are some shipping tips that may help you get your payment sooner:
- If you use USPS or UPS, purchase and print your label on PayPal and we’ll release the payment within 1 day of the courier confirming delivery
- Add tracking: upload the tracking number of one of our supported carriers. We'll release the payment within 1 day of the courier confirming delivery
- Confirm order status and we’ll release the payment within 7 days upon verification.
I recommend to check with PayPal Customer Service via this link (then choose at the bottom one of the contact methods - email or phone). They will be able to assist and provide more details on this topic.
Thank you for understanding and patience.
Sincerely,
Chiranjeevi
PayPal, Inc.
