Hello,
I recently got my first payment as a freelancer, Im not a seller on ebay or something, Im freelancing on a project. 
and PayPal holding my money for 21 days, from what I understand, I need to have 4 or more transactions, to receive more than 200$(which I got), and to wait 60 days.
so I dont get it, will I get my payment after 60days or 21 days? 
if after 21 days, every payment that ill get will be hold for 21 days, until 60 days will pass? 
is there a way to bypass that? is there a way to contact paypal and tell them that Im freelancing and not some scammer on ebay?

Each individual hold is for a maximum of 21 days.

The hold process ie how long paypal holds each payment you receive for 21 days may last for the 60 days etc before the hold no longer applies and funds are credited instantly.
