Request to increase payment limit

[Paul_Red]

Hello everyone! I'm a few months into using PayPal as the platform where I receive payments from a client for my VA work. But I'm really struggling with PayPal's monthly hold limit since the income is beyond the given limit to my account. That results to the payments being held for 21 days (7 if I update order tracking) which is frankly quite a long time. 

So I recently requested to increase my limit. I would just like to know how long it really takes and whether I can follow-up on my increase request. I applied precisely a week ago, but upon looking at my account, there were no changes to my limit or any update on that matter.

You’ll be able to request an increase, once a month, of the amount immediately available to you in each calendar month.

The immediately available amount is determined by PayPal and reset every thirty days.

Read somewhere that requests are reviewed and you’ll be notified within 3 day…so perhaps try following-up with customer service to get a definite yes or no response for this month.
