I was receiving money from my Client 900$ , I have sent two invoices 400$ and 500$ respectively and also mentioned inside the invoice that the payment is for article publishing and when I have recieved the payment , paypal blocked my account :(
Now it is showing the amount will be recieved after 6 months :(
How paypal is doing fraud with our hard earned money , any alternative you are using ?

If you do not want to wait for 6 months then simply ask your customer to lodge a complaint with his bank and backchrge.
Later he can pay you with alternate payment option.

Ohhh I totally forgot about that. Once I did that with like 15 different clients and over 100 transactions, about $2,0000 or $3,000 total.

I ended u clearing the paypal account fully, left it to $0. And got all of it paid to me via other means.

Granted, I offered many of the clients freebies and stuff like that, little incentives to help me out, so it wasn't for nothing, it did cost me a lil bit.

Ah the days of paypal making life miserable. Glad that's over :p
 
You can try using Payoneer.
Payoneer holds fund. I had around $15k withheld by Payoneer and the payment comes from Amazon. The reason for the holding is due to tax declaration or something along that line. Ended up my funds were stuck for around three months due to their AML and verification process. Though I still get paid but funds do get held up like PayPal.
 
A client once charged back even though I used invoices for all the orders. Almost $2000. And GayPal put my account on hold and I have to pay them this amount which I am never going to do.
Try to contact their customer support? You could get some help.

Any and every non-physical digital virtual product or service is nowadays considered as a scam product or service, by PayPal.

Use PayPal as a seller ONLY and ONLY if you physically ship the product to the buyer AND you then have a trackable proof of physical shipping.

If you are a content writer, for example, apart from a digital delivery, ALSO send out a physical paper delivery of the content to the buyer with a trackable proof of physical shipment (if using PayPal).
Likewise, for every virtual digital product, find a way to also send a physical shipment to the buyer, like burn it into a CD, DVD etc and physically ship it and have a proof of physical shipment also.

Best solution is to dump PayPal and embrace cryptocurrency.
PayPal steals money from lots of people nowadays.

I faced the same problem
After I reacived money from my clinet they closed my account and asked me for some documents and I sent them but they refused to restore my accounts
So I refund the money to my customers and told them to send the money in crypto
 
Forget those assholes. Switch to wise, if it’s available in your country (Your name sounds bengali. From India I guess?). Fees are super low, money comes to your bank account instantly, has great conversion rate, and there’s no extra shit stuff going on with them. Loving the service.


p.s. If you are indeed from India, keep a check on crypto for this year. The new law might suck an extra 30% from your earnings if you are not careful. Better receive in fiat only. Or atleast use binance and do small p2p txes.

My more than $2k stuck in PayPal for the same they permanently limited account without any reason
 
There is a solution to your problem. You may advise your client to make a dispute for the two payments, and PayPal will return your customer's money within a few days. Then he can send you money via another method.
 
you can try USDT or BUSD, but don't send it with Binance Pay, as you can also open claims with Binance pay now, best to send Cripto to Cripto wallet as usual if you try Cripto,

Payoneer works well also
