I have an increase in the amount of money I receive on my account due to working freelance more often. How long does it take Paypal to stop considering this as "an unusually large increase in your sales activity" ? Because as of now, they withhold anything over 800 euros a month, and they immediately shot down my request for an increase.
I would say 2/3 months to get an understanding of your selling activity. You’re allowed to ask again, once, for an increase each month. What is most important is that there are no complaints from your customers and make a habit of updating order status, then PayPal might consider increasing your release amount. In the meantime, you might be able to help to release your held payment(s) sooner. Check your account for more details or see How can I release my payment(s) on hold?
Thanks for the reply! One question though, what does it mean to "update my order status"? Because what I do is, I send invoices, they get paid, everything seems by the book.
If you are being asked to update your order status, this would mean adding shipping information to the transaction to confirm you shipped the items. For further details, please click here.
