Same issue. Impossible to get an answer. PayPal has held up my payment for almost a month. I could have had my customer write me a check and have it cleared by now. And I've had the paypal account for 19 years!!
As soon as I get my money I'll be canceling my account and telling my customers I do not take PayPal payments. Almost any other method but not PayPal!!
