Hi @Hussainabid1 ,

Hope everything is well despite of the pandemic that we are all going through right now.

It's probably on a payment review.

Why is my PayPal payment Under Review? 

But the hold is on the seller side then this link will give you a better understanding.

Why is my payment on hold and when will it be available? 

I hope i was able to assist you on your concern. Thank you for your patience and keep safe!

Think they are buyers not sellers.

@Hussainabid1 

You never need funds in your Paypal account balance as a buyer. When you purchase an item then Paypal credit the seller for you, this is so there is no delay in the despatch of your item. Paypal will then take the wait for the funds to transfer to reimburse them.
However they only take that 'risk' if you pay...

1. Bank transfer but have a back up card linked to your account as well.
2. Debit or credit card.
If you have option 1 but have no back up card linked then your payment may go as an echeque and you and the seller will have to await clearance.

However if  you have added funds to your balance it will take 5-7 days to transfer over to your paypal account balance before you can use it to purchase items.
