After finishing a gruelling job yesterday I invoiced a client and he paid, then for the second time this year I got this message
"We noticed you’ve made $600,00 USD in sales this month. This means that for now, funds from additional sales won’t be available right away."
I've been using your service for almost 20 years. I've handled vast amounts on there in a single payment. Yet this is the second time this year that you have done this to me. When I finally was able to speak to a human last time, they finally admitted they have no idea why. Don't give me that line about "various reasons" as I can get the same claptrap from your site. Do you have any idea what you are doing to me? To my family by doing this? As it is, wed during the week is my cut off time for processing payments, or else I don't see them that week. I've never done anything to deserve this, I'm just an artist trying to make a living. You have no right to hold my money like this. Explain please, why this is happening, how it can be avoided in the future and then release my funds so I can put food on the table.

Just an update. PP just released my funds. I am grateful of course, but please guys, some explanation? How can I avoid this? For someone who lives almost week to week, this can be a devastating experience. Thank you for resolving it.
