Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Ok, just got another one of these messages, except this one is your transfer is delayed for ONE HOUR, Lol, I guess it's considered more safe than 24 hrs or even 72 hrs.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Blast from the past...Just got the your transfer delayed 2 hours? Haven't been on paypal in 6 months, alots changed with this new update. Is anyone having withdrawl to bank account issues on stealths?

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Hi guys, I'm from Russia. Sorry for my English. Paypal started to delay my withdrawals around 5 month ago. I saw only messages about delay for 72 and 24 hrs, dependig from account age, sales history and withdraw amount. But I found when I tried to withdrawal funds that was received as personal payment transfers always were delayed 24 hours, no more. Since 2018 there were beging some problem with withdrawal for new accounts, from time to time paypal showed me message "Your withdrawal request can not be completed. We need more information about you. Try to process this transaction using classic view." But paypal's classic view also doesn't allow to complete such transactions. Last 3 weeks I'm unable to withdrawal my funds, every time I see error "We need more information...". I see in social network many people write they have the same problem and paypal support use standart answer "Please provide additional information". What information they need? They want scanned ID copy.

I am getting the "your transfer is delayed by 1 hour" message as well. That usually means to me to slow my roll, Ill leave the funds in the account a little longer without moving it. And I'm only withdrawing 100 at a time.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Any confirmed info on this yet? Such as whether or not all accounts who get the 72 hour wait with the red exclamation mark gets limited eventually?

Read through all ten pages and it seems it happens with no reason.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Not true, I see it as well on business.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

More likely than not accounts thst get it are under stricter scrutiny for one reason or another. Consider a warning sign to build others or take things slower.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

I don't think that's the case though.

My third stealth account, a week in, took its first payment of only $90.

I withdrew $40 two days after that and got the message.

This stealth has its own phone and phone number and confirmed everything else.

I guess no one knows what causes this.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

What causes it?

Probably all accounts dealing with ebay sales and especially new accounts, they seem te be "checked"/delayed more strictly

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Only one of my current 4 stealths use eBay and prior stealths have never used eBay.

Every account gets it. I think it is just more for newer accounts, less than 6 months or 12 months old.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Had this on half of my 20 stealths this week all on Accounts that sold a lot. Once a week went by the flurry of sales withdrawals then had no delay. Definetly related to influx or source of sales.ie category, brand, buyer info, amount , history etc.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

I had this today on my business account,

will give feedback once I know what happens.

What I did do was try withdraw all the money. Usually I leave some $$$ in the account.
I'm pretty sure this is what caused this

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

I believe I'm not 100 percent positive yet it has something to do with I.P address not being static.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Got this today on one of my accounts. It's about 6 months old EIN added and all. Was transferring semi large amounts in 1 day prior. Just got a yellow not a red 24 hour review just now for 150.00. I did get a random charge back from an Ebay sale that has gone away.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

I think it has to do with sudden influx of activity. after my last scare I toned things down on that acct. cut my activity down by about 75% on that one. enough to keep it alive but to cool off. I'm about to try ramping things up a little by maybe 25% per quarter and then jump crazy again. its my strongest acct and the only one that can handle "testing" the limits.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

No proof in this statement though :( no worries

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Has anyone ever gotten this email when doing a withdrawal? I got the 72 hour delay notification

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Yep. Got it on Wednesday for the first time in months.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

I've had this twice now for my first two transfers on a new ghost account. First transfer of $100 went through after 3 days, trying $200 now. I'll keep you guys updated.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Got the delayed message for my first transfer (of $150). 9 month old account.
A couple days later, no evidence of the transfer. So I transferred $10. Same "delayed" message.

The number of stealths reporting this problem is meaningless without looking at the number of non-stealths reporting this problem.

There are threads in the Paypal community talking about this issue, and it sounds like most of the people commenting are not stealthers. One mentioned a 9 year old account...started seeing this issue. Didn't sound like a stealther.

Pages and pages of ordinary people (sellers) complaining about this glitch. I suspect it's nothing to do with stealth.

I picture a Paypal executive waking up with an idea. "With the millions of dollars in Paypal accounts, imagine how much more money we could make if we simply held people's money for 24 hours longer for each person!"

24 hours doesn't sound like a big deal, but we're talking every single day, for millions of sellers.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

My 10 month old account (with 7 feedback) got the "delayed" message.
But my 3 month old account (with zero feedback) did not get it.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

I got this message on two of my six stealth. However the money did eventually arrived my bank. I have no idea what triggers this. I sell on eBay legitimately just a bunch of used items.
