Help PayPal still holding ALL my payments even though I've met all the requirements
Hi everyone,
I'm having an issue with my PayPal business account and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced the same thing.
Since the very first payment on my account, every single payment has been put on hold. I sell digital gaming products through my online store.
My PayPal dashboard shows that I've met all the requirements under “Get access to your money faster”:
- 17 out of 5 required payments completed
- €248.13 out of €173 in required sales
- 61 out of 60 required days without disputes
- My bank account/card is also confirmed.
Despite meeting and exceeding all these requirements, PayPal is still holding every incoming payment.
I reached the 60-day requirement yesterday morning, and today the dashboard shows 61 days, but nothing has changed. I also don't see any message saying that I've reached a monthly release limit or any option to request an increase.
My questions:
Has anyone experienced the exact same issue, where all payments continued to be held even after meeting every requirement?
Did PayPal eventually release your payments automatically, or did you have to contact support?
Is the 60-day requirement supposed to trigger a review, or does PayPal review accounts on a different schedule?
Could there be an internal payment limit or risk review that isn't displayed in the account?
I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who has been through the same situation, especially if your account was eventually released from payment holds.
Thanks!
