Paypal payment holds

[BlahBlahBlah]

Hi,

Paypal is applying a "hold" to every transaction over 100€ coming through my e-commerce store (I use WooCommerce via Wordpress), usually payments are released after 24 hours on average. This is very annoying as I cannot ship those orders on the same day as I receive them. So far I probably got 20 transactions over 100€ in the past month and none had a problem, I am starting to think going forward to just ship the order out even if the payment is pending on Paypal. I asked Paypal several time to do something about it, but they never reply. Does anyone have the same problem?

Thank you!

I would not ship until funds clear.

Thanks, I have done that so far but the problem is that I don't want this to impact my service, especially if because of their delays I risk of having to ship two days later. Looking at the worst case scenario (i loose let's say 100€ for the sale, which effectively cost me 20-25€ as luckily I have a good margin on the products) the impact wouldn't be too bad and the risk of it happening seem very little (based on the sample size I have.
Is it standard for Paypal to apply a hold on all transactions over 100€? Does anybody have the same problem?

Paypal will say its okay to ship, they are holding the funds, not the customer...
