To release a payment on hold in PayPal, follow the steps given below:
- Open your PayPal account
- Navigate to your 'Activity' section
- Search for the specific transaction that's on hold
- Usually you can 'add tracking information' if it's a product sale by using an authorized shipping carrier
- PayPal usually releases the hold within a day, after the delivery is confirmed
- Update the status of the order to 'completed' to release the hold for intangible items or services.
