@SHUAIP Its down to how the payment was SENT to his account. 1. If you sent using money > goods / services option then paypal would see him as a seller and apply the new seller hold. They would also charge a fee. 2. If you had sent using the send money > family / friends option then he would have had the payment instantly with no fee. (However that option is not available in every country). If you did send it as g/s as the f/f was not available in your country then get him to mark the transaction as processed or shipped and you 'may' have the option to confirm receipt on your end, that may release the funds more quickly, however that option may not be available in which case your friend may have to wait 7-21 days.
