If there are no issues with the transactions such as disputes, claims or chargebacks, the funds should typically be released within 21 days from the date of payment.
In some markets, you can mark your item as "shipped" or "processed" to gain earlier access to your funds.
Here's how to mark your item as “shipped” by providing the shipping details on the “Transaction Details” page.
- Log in to your PayPal account.
- Go to “My Account” and click Overview near the top of the page.
- Under recent activity, click Transactions details for the transaction ID.
- Click Mark as shipped and submit the tracking details, by updating the “Order status”, “Tracking number” and the “Shipping company” used.
If your item doesn't need to be shipped (e-books, piano lessons, etc.), mark the order as “processed” and provide the required details.

- Find and click the original payment for the item.
- Click Confirm receipt.
- Click Yes to confirm that you received the order.
