Paypal's 21 Day Hold
 

I have a couple questions regarding this "21 day hold" process on Paypal. I made a new paypal yesterday to buy and sell on, of course. The dilemma comes in when receiving money however...

I understand it'll take 21 days if its an item that has to be shipped and packaged, but what if its an online service? With no physical proof of completion or anything? I obviously can't add tracking or any details so when exactly and how does paypal know to release my funds? Will I still have to wait the 21 days out?

:help:

Mark the payment as processed (use add tracking link on transaction details page in classic view) and your payment should be available in 7 days for domestic or 14 days for international payments if everything goes fine.

Virtual items like yours will take a long time to release..approx. 21 days.
