Hello there! I've recently moved to Austria and opened up a PayPal account here. I am using PP because my employer (I work as a freelancer) only uses this platform for invoicing. I send invoices 4 times a month and since I've started the account all of my money has been put on hold for what seems like a random time period. Sometimes more and sometimes less (regardless of whether or not I submit the shipping info). My question is this - how long will it take before the payments come in directly into my balance and are not on hold? That is how it used to be for me while I lived back home, and it's very annoying that I have to wait for so long in order to use my funds. I need them quicker than what PP allows at this point. I need to pay for my rent and to buy groceries. I've been submitting shipping information (even though I do not ship anything, I work as an independent writer). I've also asked for an extension on the amount of money that I can have coming in per invoice. These are all the steps that the help bar provided once I searched for additional answers. Also, it's been past the 21-day mark that PP insists on. I've liked PayPal before and now I'm having second thoughts. Should I just be more patient? Thank You in advance! Kind regards, Milos [removed]
