Hi , im using Paypal to receive fund from freelancing platforms regularly as well as making some payment.

 

 

I need to make a payment request to someone i know but i need to know whats the fastest way to get the fund in my Paypal balance.  Is using product& service type or "Paypal.me" also works and faster to get money  from someone?

 

A few years ago i got some money and it got pending for 21 days, really was unexpected.

 

Thanks everyone.

If you are new to selling or receiving funds that are not from friends/family then you would be subject to the new seller hold.

More information in these links.

If you are not subject to the hold then your payments should be more or less the same speed unless your buyer or sender of the funds uses an echeque to fund that payment.

Do not use the friends/family option for selling as that may well lead to an account ban as paypal regularly check to make sure you are not doing that.
