This approach is used when the consumer feels that PayPal will resolve their complaint better than their funding source, or when the PayPal payment was funded directly from the consumer's PayPal balance.
This approach is used when the customer used a bank to fund the PayPal account. PayPal often holds the amount of the disputed transaction in an unavailable balance until the ACH return is resolved.
Unauthorized: An unauthorized dispute occurs when a consumer or PayPal has identified fraudulent use of a PayPal account. Reversal or temporary hold: Refers to a PayPal-initiated investigation.

An account reserve is an amount of money that is on hold in your PayPal account to cover potential financial risk such as payment reversals you may receive like chargebacks and claims. PayPal uses three types of reserves: rolling reserves, minimum reserves and jumpstart reserves.
A Rolling reserve is a reserve where a percentage of each transaction you receive each day is held and then released later on a scheduled basis. This is the most common type of reserve. The minimum reserve is either taken as a percentage of money held until a certain amount has been reached, or a one-time amount. A Jumpstart reserve is when funds are held from your available balance immediately. We may also use a combination of a reserve types on your account.
Why does PayPal use reserves? Reserves are used to prevent transaction losses that may occur from payment reversals like chargebacks and claims filed by your buyers. Ordinarily, if you have a reserve on your account and receive a chargeback or dispute, we will deduct that amount from your available balance and not from any reserve balance. However, if a seller goes out of business or stops processing payments through PayPal, we will use any reserve to satisfy future payment reversals.
Reasons for placing reserves Reserves are a common industry practice. They are used to minimize losses and to create a safer shopping experience. If you would go out of business or would be otherwise incapable of covering your financial obligations, we would still need to pay back the buyer.
A reserve can be placed on your account for a number of reasons and is set on a case-by-case basis. Reserves may be eligible for the reduction or removal with positive changes to key areas such as performance, industry, claims reduction, etc.
When will I get my money? Once a reserve is placed, you will receive communications outlining the terms of your reserve. Your terms are also outlined in your account. When your money is released depends on what type of reserve you have. If you have a rolling reserve, the funds will be released after a certain period of time. For example, if you have a day rolling reserve, funds from Day 1 sales will be available on Day For minimum reserve, reserves are reviewed every days.
PayPal proactively reviews reserves, and based on improvements to your business performance, it is possible that your reserves could be adjusted or removed.

This Dispute Fee applies to such transactions both when the buyer files a claim directly with PayPal and when they file through a chargeback with their card issuer or a reversal with their bank. The amount of the Dispute Fee depends on the percentage of claims filed against your total sales in the previous 3 months. The Standard Dispute Fee will apply unless your disputes rate is 1. If you fall into that category, the High Volume Dispute Fee would apply for each dispute. To learn more about disputes and claims and how to handle them, see our Help Guide.
