Hi, I use PayPal to receive funds from family and friends in a different countries. But yesterday PayPal put a hold on one of the payments I received, I need to provide proof that I shipped or delivered the product. I am not selling anything. How do I fix this?

Its down to how the payment was sent to an account.
1. If sent using money > goods / services option then paypal would see the recipient as a seller and apply the new seller hold. They would also charge a fee.
2. If sent using the send money > family / friends option then the recipient would have the payment instantly (as long as it wasn't an echeque pending with a clearance date) with no fee if funded from a bank account or balance (a fee if you use a card). (However that option is not available in every country).
There are however some occasions where friends / family payments are held for reviews but these are normally only 24 hours.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.
