Introduction

Hold on Your Instant Payment Notification? PayPal is a global payment service that allows customers to send money through the internet, and it can be used as an alternative to traditional credit cards. PayPal operates as a platform that connects buyers and sellers in one secure, convenient location.

This article will explain how long it takes for PayPal to lift an Instant Payment Notification (IPN) hold on your account, which is the type of transaction used when you receive money from another person or business.

The default hold time for an Instant Payment Notification (IPN) transaction is 3 days.

You can find the default hold time for an Instant Payment Notification (IPN) transaction in your PayPal account settings. If you have a business account, this setting will be under “Instant Payments.”

If you don’t see an option to adjust your IPN hold time, it’s set to the default of 3 days. The exception is if you have Merchant Protection Services or Verified by Visa/Mastercard Secure Code enabled; these features will extend your hold period from 3 to 5 days and 7 days, respectively.

The hold will be released if the transaction is not completed in 3 days.

If you are still unable to complete a transaction after these steps, contact PayPal Customer Service at 1-888-221-1161 (Toll-Free) or 1-402-935-2050 (International Calling)

IPN hold times can vary depending on your account settings, but the default is 3 days.

The time that PayPal holds an IPN can vary depending on your account settings and several other factors. For example, if you have the Instant Payment Notification (IPN) hold time set to 5 days in your account preferences, then all IPNs will be held for 5 days before being released. However, if the transaction has not been completed within 5 days and is still held for 3 more days (10 total), it will be released so that you can use the funds in your PayPal account again.

The default IPN hold time is 3 days, but this can be changed in your PayPal account preferences by logging into your PayPal profile page at www.paypal.com/us/selfhelp/manage-account/preferences or through the “My Account” tab in My eBay on eBay.com.
