My experience with PayPal has been extremely frustrating and disappointing.
For the third time, a legitimate international sale has resulted in my payment being placed on hold without clear or consistent justification. My account has been fully verified for three years, with no outstanding compliance requests or issues. Despite this, PayPal continues to delay access to my funds.
On this latest transaction, my payment has been held for over three weeks. When I contacted customer service, I was given contradictory explanations — first that my account is “new” (it was opened three years ago), and then that I “hadn’t sold in a while,” which is inaccurate as I completed a sale just two weeks earlier.
As a seller, cash flow is critical. Holding funds for extended periods without transparent reasoning or meaningful support creates unnecessary financial strain and undermines trust. Customer service has been unhelpful and unable to provide a clear, consistent explanation or timeline for resolution.
The overall handling of this situation feels unreasonable and highly unprofessional. Based on these repeated experiences, I have lost confidence in PayPal as a reliable payment platform and will be moving my business elsewhere.
I would strongly advise other sellers to carefully consider alternative payment providers if reliability and access to funds are important to their operations.
