Welcome to the boards!

 

It sounds as if you used an Instant Transfer to pay your seller.  The reason the payment is on hold is because the bank transfer hasn't yet completed.

 

Any US bank transfer takes three to five business days to complete within PayPal, and once started, cannot be stopped.  Your seller is paid instantly because PayPal pays them in advance - while we wait for the bank transfer to show up.

 

If your seller refunds it before the bank transfer completes processing in the background, we have to wait to provide the refund, because the original transfer simply hasn't shown up yet.  As soon as it does, it will go into your PayPal balance, where you can use it again for a different purchase or withdraw it - for free!

 

Hope this helps,

 

Adrian
