Hello,
I have a seller that I'm in good contact with and usually send via paypal and it gets sent immediately.
however this time, I've accidentally sent the money as 'goods and services' instead of to friends.
On my end it says they've received the money, however on their end, it's being held.
Usually when this happens, a 'Confirm Receipt' button would appear, and I would simply click on it to have the money be released.
However, even after 24 hours, the option is still not available.
I've contacted the direct message chat with CS, but they told me the buyer has to contact THEM, and the buyer did, but to no avail.
what should I do so that my buyer can receive their money ASAP ? Thanks

If you are experiencing delayed funds availability, here are some shipping tips that may help you get your payment sooner:
- Add tracking information: If you provide tracking information from one of PayPal’s supported carriers in the transaction details page, your payment should be available 1 day after PayPal can confirm the delivery date.
- No Shipping Info: If your item doesn't need to be shipped (e-books, piano lessons, etc.), mark the order as Processed and provide the required details.
- Buyer confirmation: A buyer will receive a notification email once you've uploaded the tracking number. When your buyer confirms they've received the item, the payment will be released immediately. (You can also ask buyer to confirm receipt sending them the steps below.)
Here’s how (These options may not be available for some countries):
Seller/Recipient: Add tracking information, FIRST:
1. Click Activity at the top of the page.
2. Find and click the original payment for the item or service.
3. Click Add Tracking Info.
4. Select an Order Status: Processed or Shipped (with or without tracking info).
Buyer/Sender: To confirm you've received an item:
- Go to Activity.
- Find and click the original payment for the item.
- Click Confirm receipt.
- Click Yes to confirm that you received the order.
Note: Not all purchases require receipt confirmation.
If buyer/sender does not 'confirm receipt', or PayPal wasn't able to 'confirm delivery’, you may have to wait up to 21 days for PayPal's system to release. If its past 21 days, then you'll need to contact customer service, response may take longer due to Covid-19 situation.
