In a bid to ensure security, PayPal’s internal security system will likely put a payment on hold for 24 hours or move the funds to your pending balance, prevent a withdrawal or send money to another account.
These holds and restrictions happen for reasons such as,
- You’re a new PayPal seller and will need time to build a positive history
- There’s a high-risk factor associated with the transaction
- You received a higher than usual amount
- Your account isn’t verified (linking of credit card) e.t.c
Amongst all these restrictions; the most common of them is a Paypal fund being moved into the pending balance till 21 days before being made available.
Well, I think this is so because most PayPal users don’t understand how the system work and as a result, they have no option other than to wait.
Unfortunately, most Paypal accounts with this case are been either temporarily or permanently limited before the 21-day wait time.

But if you’re on this page then be grateful because you’re going to learn all you should know about Paypal payments and how to fix Paypal payments being on hold or pending balance.
However, let’s briefly discuss how Paypal payment works and which payment usually stays on hold for up to 21 days and which one doesn’t.

PayPal Payment Methods Explained
Firstly, we have two payment types on Paypal, if your account supports both, then you’ll be asked to select what you’re paying for while sending a payment to another PayPal account but if it doesn’t then; it’ll send with the default payment option.
The two types are the,
- Family and Friend (FNF) option
- Goods and Services (GNS) option
All personal PayPal account supports both payment options but most business PayPal account supports the Goods and services option by default (depends on the country of use).
Now, let’s see how these two payment options work and which one is more ideal to use to avoid your money being moved to pending balance or hold.
What is PayPal Family and Friend Payment Option
The Paypal fnf option should be used when a friend, relative or family Is sending you money through Paypal, it can also be used in business if there’s mutual trust between the two dealers but most times it ain’t advised.
Paypal states that any payment made via the family and payment option cannot be recovered because it doesn’t have purchase protection although in rare cases it can if you made the payment from your bank.
Below are some features of the FNF options,
- In most cases, the sender can’t charge back the sent payment via family and friend payment.
- Funds sent through the family and friends option don’t usually go to the pend balance, it goes straight to your balance but in rare cases, it can stay on a 24hours(Max) hold after which it will be available to the receiver.
- The sender will bear the charges for sending and not the receiver, for example, while sending $200 to a user;; you’ll be charged $211 and the receiver will get $200 full payment.
That’s it.
What is PayPal Goods and Services Payment Option
As the name implies, it is been used to pay for a purchase or service and I think this payment option has a whole lot of disadvantages but it’s required to ensure safety.
It is also important you also know that there’s a hold and the pending balance, let’s briefly understand these two.
1. Payment on Hold: When a payment is on hold, it’s for a specific time, Paypal will let you know if it is a 24-hour hold or not.
2. Payment on pending Balance: You see this one right here? This is the major reason why most funds stay up to 21 days because the sender will either have to “mark the item as received” immediately or after 48hours or wait for 21 days after which the money will be automatically available.
Below are some features of the GNS options,
- Payment made via the goods and services method can be disputed if the seller isn’t satisfied with the services/goods, meanwhile, most persons do it intentionally.
- Gns payments made on Paypal can be placed on hold or pend depending on the factors we discussed at the beginning, in addition, some temporary hold can turn to pend if the security system wasn’t able to verify the transaction.
- The receiver will bear the charges for payment received and not the sender, for example, while sending $200 to a user;; you’ll be charged $200 and the receiver will get $190.90 minus the Paypal fee.
That’s all you need to know about Paypal payments and I guess you should have known the best payment option to use to avoid Paypal funds going to hold the balance but unfortunately not all accounts support the family and friend option.
Nevertheless, let’s get started on how to trick Paypal into releasing your finds within minutes or 48hours at most.

How to Make PayPal Funds in Pending Balance Available in Minutes
If you received a goods and services payment and would like to get it cleared within 48hour maximum then you should follow any of the below tricks.
1. Sender Marks Item as received on Sent Payment
This first trick can be achieved if the services/goods have been delivered and the sender wants you to get your money on time.
Most countries such as Lesotho, Mozambique, Iceland and others now allow you to “mark items as received” minutes after sending payments but in most cases where the option isn’t available after a few minutes then you have to check back 48hours later to do the confirmation.
Follow the below procedure to mark a sent payment as received.
- The sender should sign into his/her Paypal account and click on the PayPal transaction from the web version {not app},
- Scroll down the page and you see a blue link that states “Mark shipment as received“
- Click on it and “CONFIRM” on the next page

2. Create a dispute on Transaction
While this method works, it is quite risky as it might put your account on a temporary limit if not practised with caution.
However, let’s see how to go about this second method, you’ll still need to be on good terms with the buyer before this can be possible, so if the fund ain’t a legit one I’m not sure you can do anything rather than wait for the 21 days.
In addition, the case should be created and closed immediately or within 24 hours to avoid the case being escalated to PayPal or your account being limited
Follow the below procedure to dispute a sent payment,
- The sender should sign into his/her Paypal account and click on the PayPal transaction from the web version {not app},
- Scroll down the page and you see a blue link which states “Resolution centre“
- Select the type of issue you would like to report and other necessary information
Now, wait some hours and then,
- Go to Resolution Center
- Click on the Case ID and scroll down
- Hit the “Close Case” button and that’s it.
The fund should be moved to your available balance after which you should wait for 4hours+ before doing anything with the fund.
The wait is necessary because of the dispute, quickly attempting a transaction with the fund might alert Paypal internal security system.
