paypal payment on hold pending review ecommerce

The actual problem

Holds freeze cash for days, breaking inventory and ad cashflow even when sales look fine in dashboards.

Do this

1. PayPal → Activity → filter On hold / Pending; export the list.
2. Open each hold reason (unauthorized, shipping, high risk) and submit the requested docs same day.
3. Reduce hold triggers: clear product pages, tracking numbers, consistent descriptors.
4. Score the same period in Netkiln so fee + hold patterns are visible in one URL.
