I haven't had paypal long and put a few thing on ebay. All that is fine but of course they hold funds for a few days. If my family sends me money will they also hold those funds. I need the $ they want to send and don't wanna wait that long. Should I go as different route?

Occasionally family / friends payments are subject to a 24 hour review, but I have received quite a few over the years and never yet had one reviewed.

 

I think Paypal review them if they 'think' the seller is trying to evade paying their fees by using that option to sell goods.

If they use the send money > family / friends option then it would not be subject to the new seller hold.

Thank you..that helps alot..I couldn't find a straight answer anywhere..and they have been holding my funds for the few sales till 3 days after delivery. I have seen on here where people have had their funds held from family and friends. Don't want to have them send it and can't use it..thank you again..
