LOL, Yeah....and we all know that sending as a gift A LOT works flawlessly! haha.

Never work long term. And you can't send it as a gift until the hold expires.

In any case, the OP sold something, and doesn't have the product, and can't pay for it.

Game over.

This obviously isn't sustainable, but for the first couple of transactions, you can redirect your clients or whomever to pay by personal payment option on paypal.

This was my experience as well as what the sweet lady told me on the phone.

On eBay this will not work as well bc of the nature of the site, but if you are invoicing or sending money requests, it can work.

Edit - A simple solution would just be to call them and they'll waive the hold or reduce it to the 7 days.

Adding tracking does this anyway (usually).
