I registered for a PayPal personal account (as advised by my employer) this May. I was able to automatically receive my pay until late July when PayPal started putting a hold on my incoming funds because I have yet to meet criteria to be an established seller. What I did was update the Order Status (checked No Shipping Information Required or something like that) and tell our account manager to confirm the transaction. Usually after she confirms the transaction, the funds would be released. However, this time, PayPal has emailed me that I am now an established seller and the account manager has confirmed the transaction, but my funds are still on hold! The problem is THIS IS NOT A SHIPPING TRANSACTION! I am paid for my services as an editor. I am not a seller and I am not selling anything; I am an employee working for an overseas employer. I understand the security reason behind the hold but this is causing me and my employer a lot of inconvenience. How I wish my employer had other payment channels but of course, I seem to be the only one having this issue in the company. This is frustrating.
