I browsed alot and still can't find answer to this simple question, friend of mine should recieve 400$ through paypal, of course it drop on a hold to 21 day, he got email, but when he logged in his account his "total on hold" equals zero.
Reasonably he freaking out, i'm freaking out and google useless as everytime, so i have left with one option.
Please, anyone, would you kindly help me with finding "yes or no" answer on question "Does PayPal show how much money is on the hold?"

If the funds were on hold they would show in his balance as on hold and the transaction would show in his paypal account activity.

Did you send the funds? Only if you did then what does it say on the transaction in your paypal account ie pending / payment / sent / unclaimed???

 

Also yes you can easily accept $400, in fact you can receive up to $10,000.

However he hasn't received anything if its not on his paypal account, what makes him think its on hold? Hope he didn't get a fake paypal email?

If your friend is in Armenia as well then............

 

... the option to receive Paypal payments is sadly not available in Armenia.
You can only send payments for purchases funded by your (confirmed) credit card.

Paypal varies a lot country to country and can only offer the services that the banks / governments of that country allow it to offer.
There are quite a few countries unable to receive Paypal payments.

Thank for reply, no friend from Israel, that's why i ask him to get that summ, because he can get it, i think.

He got mail 5 days ago about hold, and zero on his hold account since.

I just wanna know "Do paypal allow to see how much money is on the hold?" i googled through 10-th page and it gives me nothing.

Okay i contacted dude who's sending the money, and he got a return, so no, no money on the hold, and answer to this **bleep** question is "Yes".
If it don't show money i don't get money, finally, now it's clear.

Thanks for responding i really appreciate it.
