24h Payment Hold
 

Hi guys today I got some money on my account that were on hold for 21 days, but when I logged on the account to make some payments to 3 people they got an e mail from PayPal saying that the payment I sent will be blocked for 24h because they need to check if is the actual owner that made the payment. Is this normal routine check?

Re: 24h Payment Hold
 

Was this the first time you sent money using this account? I often get it on accounts which have never sent money out before.

OP, you seem to have tripped up some security flags on your account - did you do anything out of the ordinary?

Re: 24h Payment Hold
 

I had a buyer that this happened to, and I received an email from PayPal saying to wait 24hrs before shipment. Is this normal for a seller account, or is it to do with buyer activity?

Re: 24h Payment Hold
 

It has happened several times to me and all payments were released after 24hrs but the reason should be some security concerns like IP , login from new device ...

Re: 24h Payment Hold
 

This happens to me alot,at least the last 3 months..every single payment i send its on hold for 24 hours...they release it exaclty after 24 hours ..and this happens for like 2-3 months now..its really annoying

EDIT: Its happening after i had the established seller email from paypal ,1 month after i register my account (Congratulation and Welcome mail)

This is a new account and is the first time that I sent money, and I think it was because I logged in with a fresh IP but close to the IP City I usually use

The account was created in 2019, I started using it in March 2020, now April 2020 I sent money to 3 people and I subscribed to a monthly service. I don't think is that strange how I use it, this are normal payments that everyone make

dont think theyll suspend his account, i mean i got this issue for the last 3 months , and my account is still good lol :P

Re: 24h Payment Hold
 

This almost always happen when your paypal account is new.

Re: 24h Payment Hold
 

What if this happens for like 3 months like in my case? my account is verified (id/adress), i start to worry about it :/

Re: 24h Payment Hold
 

I create new paypal accounts every week.
So I talk about what I see very often.

Re: 24h Payment Hold
 

Yes, it should stop after one month of the account being created and having some transactions.

Prepare a new account and withdraw your funds slowly.

Re: 24h Payment Hold
 

Ye indeed, but isnt it really weird? i mean i dont have 21 days hold when i recieive payments, i can withdraw instantly..they never put on hold a payment ive sent to my bank ..they just put on hold the payments that im sending to another paypal and using my paypal balance..

Oh please - keep this real - not b******s

Re: 24h Payment Hold
 

Guys they unlocked the payments after the 24h is all good, but I tried to log in with another IP on the stealth account and it give me an error "we don't know if it's you" and the only option to verify it is to call them [emoji58], if I don't want to call?
