Is your PayPal account in good standing?
If your PayPal account is limited or PayPal has placed your payment on hold, the Payment status for your test will be Held by PayPal. You need to resolve this before you can receive your payment.
Please check your PayPal account to find out why there are limits on your account or why your payment is on hold. PayPal will send you an email with any updates about your account, so we also suggest checking your inbox.

Unverified accounts have limits on how much money they can receive per month. Keep in mind PayPal Verification usually takes 2-3 business days in the United States and 4-6 business days outside the United States.
If your account is Verified and still limited, follow the steps listed in PayPal's help article.
If you don’t hear from PayPal within 3 business days, we suggest that you call the Resolution Department at 1-888-221-1161 or 1-402-935-2050, if you’re calling from outside the U.S.
If you're located in India, please refer to the steps provided by PayPal in this article for how to confirm your account.
After you resolve your issue and your PayPal account is in good standing, tap the Contact Support button under your test details to request that the payment be resent.
