Paypal will not release my money. They are holding $600 of my hard earned money hostage. They will not respond to my messages and if I try to open a case for this transaction I get an error message. My item has already been delivered and the customer is perfectly happy with it. PayPal just decided to take my money. **bleep** Them.

Having exactly the same issue and cant get hold of anybody at paypal,
Item has been delivered and the buyer cant even find this ''confirm receipt'' button on his side to release the funds.
Iv sent multiple emails, messages over 24 hours and no response

Paypal is holding over $800 of my money and there is no way to contact anyone. Now the merchant can't get paid and I can't get my merchandise. And they're taking money non-stop during "Covid" but have shut down customer service. Nice.
I'm trying hard to maintain my composure.

Well i finally got my £1800 released as the buyer confirmed on the other side that he had received the goods, so i go to transfer to my bank, and low and behold, it need to go through another 72 hours of security checks, currently waiting for it to enter my bank as i type this. Its expected in by 09.15am tomorrow morning... i'm not holding my breathe
