Activity: 0% Longevity: 33% | | Transaction XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX under PayPal Payment Review - What is happening?
Ok so lately i've had a few payments - i know they are legitimate as i know the people sending them but i get the email saying the payment is under review and will be release within 24 hours if everything is fine .. after 24 hours payment is released so this tell me paypal aren't doing anything except delaying it 24 hours. Are they actually doing anything behind the scenes? Is this just another way of paypal holding funds longer? What is going on in the background?

It happens from time to time. Usually it's an indication that there was something shady about the buyer's payment (paid from a weird IP, paid with a brand new card, etc).
There's nothing abnormal about it, and the only thing you can really do is wait until the payment is released.

It's pretty normal. It's more on the buyer side, not yours.
So just wait until they cleared it. If they returned it you are saved from a potential scammer

But what i'm asking is what are they actually doing? I know the buyers aren't scammers ... since i know them, but each time the funds are released exactly 24 hours later .. not like it took 6 hours for somebody to review it then it was released

It takes 24-48 hours to collect the payment,if it is cross border it could be longer,Paypal is
advancing your payment by making it available immediately,it is always a good idea to link a credit card to your PAYPAL account,
.
With coming Ebay MP,you wont have the fund available immediately,it could be days or weeks to see it in your bank account

PP has been doing this forever and you should just wait it out

I can't say for sure but I would guess that's why they're held for that amount of time. Whether or not somebody at Paypal is actually reviewing those transaction, I can't say.

If you have a FUNDNOW account with Paypal,your payment is available immediately ,if someone files a chargeback,the payment would not be withheld.

I think they must just be holding it as you say to give a chance to dispute. Maybe a few automated checks that can't be processed in a couple of seconds. I have funds now so i this is probably just a loophole for them to hold | The Following User Says Thank You to paulfoltyn For This Useful Post: | |

Yeah mostly on the buyers side if it’s an American account receiving it but many times it could be on the receiving side especially if the account is from some specific international countries and new as well

Most are reviewed by bots ,there are always exceptions,bots are programmed to spot them and pass onto a human being.
In real world,anyone with his own merchant account,does not see the money until the next day,unless he accepts cash.

You're spewing garbage again agent.
The 24 hour hold is intended to protect the seller, not the buyer. If the funds were fraudulent the 24 hour hold gives the rightful owner of the money a chance to dispute the transaction. If that hold wasn't in place and the seller immediately shipped the order only for it to be disputed 4hrs later, the seller would be on the hook for the cost of the item, the cost of postage, and the cost of chargeback resolution.
Plenty of merchant accounts offer same day payouts but that has literally nothing to do with this thread.

I see what you are referring to now,after over 20 years of selling,I rarely have problem with my sales,so I dont see what this 24 hours hold is all about,thanks for the enlightenment.
as for getting cash same day,may I ask who is the merchant account provider?

I remember being declined for a WF merchant account because I had no credit history at the time, and the guy told me it's because of how quickly they pay out. I would have needed credit for them to trust me with those quick payouts. But, it turns out they're next day payouts, not same day.
