"Your transfer is delayed"
 

Just tried transferring funds to my bank account from one of my stealths and got this message:

"Your transfer is delayed" --- "For security reasons, we need a bit more time to review this transaction. This can take up to 24 hours, but we'll email you as soon as we have an update."

However, after that I got the usual email saying "your transfer request is processing"

Could this be a glitch? First time I've ever seen this message.

Anyone else?

i think i got this once, but nothing became of it. money transferred fine.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Same thing happened to me, first time ever. Is it a new message from PayPal?

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Same here. Seems new. Finger crossed.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Did your request really get processed within 24 hours as they promised?

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Mine are crossed too.

I got this withdrawing from 2 accounts yesterday. Checked one this morning and it's still pending but it hasn't quite been 24hrs yet.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Yep. I received this message last night when trying to transfer to bank. Just received it again when I did it again. The screen message says to allow 48 hours not 24 hours. Red triangle with exclamation mark at top of the screen. Both times I received the usual email saying the funds were being transferred. For the record, I rarely receive funds quickly - but up until yesterday the 17th I've not received the screen message.

Update: transfers (two instances) went through fine, taking around 20 hours.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

i got this as well everything went through in a bout 24 hours time

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Just transferred this morning and got this same message as well. First time I've seen it.

Is this a new message that PayPal is showing on every transfer?

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Seen myself, must be new. Pulled $500, then 2 days later $200. The smaller deposit showed up, still have not seen the larger amount hit my bank account. Very strange

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

My two transfers completed but they took longer than usual. Haven't seen that notice since last week.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Mine is the same, it continues for more than 5 days now. I withdraw twice, the first amount hit my bank eventually after 4 days (consider the weekend) but the second one I just did it 5 minutes ago, still got this "delayed" notice.

It's very strange.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

There's another thread on here currently where the guy suggests this "transfer delayed" message is a precursor to having your Paypal limited. However, to hopefully bring peace to some of you, that hasn't been my experience so far.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

the $200 deposited early this morning, then the $500 a few hours later. Seems like a review process, this is new.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

This is happening across all of my accounts recently for under no particular reason (mostly to my accounts under 90 days, that is). I've been withdrawing in the exact same manner as always, with no special changes to my withdrawal patterns, but still get these garbage notifications.

The transactions all go through but still... who the f wants to see that ****. Just another reason for PayPal to hold onto your money longer.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Also, the notice is accompanied with a disclaimer that they'll "email us when they have more information". But of course, they don't email any explanation whatsoever, because they have none. Even after the transfer has been processed. Bull****

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

One more thing... I noticed this thread was started on the 15th. This is around when I started seeing the issues too. It also coincides with the due date of my eBay invoice, which I paid directly from my eBay balance. I noticed that right after I paid that amount via PP, all my accounts started seeing these issues.

Is this the case for anyone else? I wonder if there's a correlation

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

Exact same thing for me

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

In my cases I had just paid my fees on both accounts (as I do everyday) with my Paypal balance. I hadn't considered that as a possible cause but I guess it's plausible.

Personally I think it was just a glitch caused by security updates implemented by PP. I've withdrawn from both accounts I got that notice on since getting that notice without any problems.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

just an update - received this notification a few times since i've started this thread with multiple paypals and everything was in my bank account the next day.

Re: "Your transfer is delayed"
 

How much do you guys transfer usually?

I wonder if there's a $ amount that triggers it.
