A request letter for the release of an outstanding payment is very essential when a person is supposed to receive their payment but the payment is delayed due to some reasons.

PayPal puts money on hold to ensure the platform is safe for buyers and sellers. Your PayPal money might be on hold if you're a new seller or your account has been inactive. To help release funds faster, add tracking information or print a shipping label via PayPal.

If a payment you sent is pending or unclaimed, it means the recipient hasn't received or hasn't accepted the payment yet.

Here's how to pay using our website: Go to Send and Request. Enter the recipient's name, PayPal username, email address, or mobile number and click Next. Enter the amount, choose the currency, add an (optional) note and click Continue. If available, choose your payment type. Choose how you want to pay and click Next.
