Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

It stopped for me last week. I think it was a glitch.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Still getting this dumb message on about 3-4 of my 4 month old accounts but being cautious and transferring small amounts

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Dang it. It came back. PayPal is killing me. I need the funds on time to pay for shipping. Now I have late shipments bc it's taking 3-4 days to transfer funds. Smh

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

After getting ''Your transfer is delayed'' on a good majority across my accounts it went away on most of them after more withdraws but now I'm getting the same message again every time I withdraw on almost all of my accounts now.

This is some kind of safeguard that PayPal is putting into place to help fight loss prevention because that is what PayPal is all about is money.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Yes, I have to do all my paypal withdrawals on Monday in order to get the money the same week. It seems to take 72 hours to go from pending to complete, then 1 day to transfer to bank.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

just got the 'transfer delayed up to 72 hours' after trying to w/d $89 from a $5k as a test.. hope it goes through, accounts 60 days old and last payment received 22 days ago w no pending transactions. will update

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Yup, the amount doesn't seem to matter. I've gotten it with a $25 transfer, a $486 transfer and everything in between.

However, it is strange that I don't seem to get it every time. One transfer went through without the delay. I am now trying to figure out what is triggering this but its not the transfer amount.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Withdrew ~$1,000 twice this week. Completed in a couple hours on PP side... next day on bank side.

Old, non-stealth account though...

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Your account probably doesn't apply here. Must of us with this problem (I'm assuming) have newer, stealth accounts. All of mine are newer, stealth accounts.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

True. That's why I mentioned it... just in case.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Just happened to me, too! This is different from the "your transfer is delayed" issue.... no email, no mention of "declined" just if you look into the details it politely mentions it didn't go through because of a technical error.

I transferred 200 once, then a week later another 200, and a week later logged in to transfer another 200 and realized (when I saw a high balance) that the previous 2 withdrawals didn't happen, and were cancelled. Great account, no issues, but this just happened to me too, so to read your post is kind of a relief... they are probably implementing something new that triggers this, or else somehow they are detecting mismatched names maybe....? My thing happened with BOA. What bank did you use?

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Mine is Wells Fargo.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

- UPDATE -

Well it took four days, but the transfer went to my BOA eventually. And im not limited. which is crazy because I ran 5k up in the account in the first month on a new account figuring it was just gonna get limited, I cant believe its not limited after the bank xfer. freak account? any thoughts? Im going to withdrawl 900 tomorrow n see what happens :pop2:

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

wish I had 5k to throw away like you lol

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

I just got the 72 hour problem myself. How long did it take you to get your money getting the 72 hour message? I still got the email processing your request and all.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Did you get the 72 hr message or the 24 hr message?

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Do you get the 24 hr message or 72 hr message?

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

i put my transfer in on tuesday and it showed up saturday morning (72 hour hold)

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

It must be your account is under scrutiny, like mine. Most other people here got the 24 hrs when I looked through the thread.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

For the past month or so I see the "Your transfer is delayed" message with exclaimation point on every transfer. Funds are going to Wells Fargo and typically showing within 24 to 48 hours despite that message.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Whats with the transfer delay message are they experimenting on something or a normal thing paypal is just doing does anyone know???

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Not exactly sure what is triggering this message, but some people are experiencing it and others not. I have two other accounts NOT getting this message, but the others (which are all connected to eBay) are.

I suspect it might have something to do if you get funds from eBay in the account, maybe?

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Did you actually link the paypal account to eBay? The accounts you don't have a problem with, are those older accounts? Seems I am experiencing these types of accounts, 2 months or younger.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

So from my experience it's been because they don't quite trust the account fully. It's under 90 days old and it's only had a few transfers before or it's your first one. If all goes successfully, meaning they do transfer it and don't limit your account, you may get it a few more times. But once the system is used to your patterns, you've had more transfers processed, and the account ages a lil with no problems ie charge backs or cases, then it starts giving you a green check mark and transfers it quickly.
Hope that helps

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

I got this message on one of my accounts that's 7 years old.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Well then they are just being their annoying wonderful selves!! Lol that hasn't happened to me...yet. Oh boy good ole paypal

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Yes, age of the account does not matter. In fact, I'm seeing this message on accounts 6 and 9 years old respectively. The others that are NOT getting the delayed message at w/d are NOT linked to eBay and are much younger accounts.

I think the message has something to do either that the funds were from eBay, or the accounts link to eBay may trigger it. That's just been my observation.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Who knows...mine is linked to a SUSPENDED and a limited eBay account and I'm not getting delays. But I'm gonna quit bragging, that's for sure!

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Were those paypal accounts much older?

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Me, or nickopedia?

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

You, yea you, just to fulfill character requirements lol.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

lol

Old account. But I was replying to him, because he said he didn't think age had anything to do with it.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Happened to me today. First withdrawal on that account. Hope it goes well

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

@uknow

U withdraw to a bank acct right? No limitation email or anything yea?

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

my second w/d with the 72 hour hold got me limited :/

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

^^^^ what were transfer amounts and time in between each attempt that led to limitation

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

did you wait for the first transfer amount to fully go through, then withdraw again, or did u attempt to withdraw before the first withdraw was in your bank account?

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

I waited until complete and money was in the bank, then two days later 900 w/d and two days after that, limited. might wanna wait longer in between w/d times

* first amount $99
2 days after money successfully completed in the bank (7 total days after initial withdraw)
* 2nd w/d $900 - 72 hour wait again - 48 hours later limited

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Ahhh that must have done it, did u stop selling on the account? I have 480 in one account, stopped selling for the last 2 weeks, withdrew, got the 72 hr message while trying to wotdraw 75.00. Planning on withdrawing 50-75.00 again. How much did u have total in yours?

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

hmmmmmmmmmm $99 to $900 is probably what did it.
