Why This Happens
Payoneer is holding payments received from marketplaces (Upwork, Fiverr, Amazon, etc.) pending a review. This is commonly triggered by sudden increases in marketplace earnings, discrepancies between your Payoneer and marketplace account information, or compliance reviews triggered by payment volume thresholds.
