is 72 hours the sweet spot for withdrawing from paypal?

if you have an error "cannot process your request right now", try a less sum of money. i.e.
your balance is 100 usd, you try to withdraw 70 usd and get an error, then try to withdraw 20 usd. Yes, you may get a 24-72 hours review, but it's better than nothing.
Then in 2 days' time try to withdraw 35 usd. If it's ok, next time 65 usd etc.

Honestly, this hasn't been the case for me for a long time now. Any 72 hour hold is extremely rare; even on newer accounts which haven't been doc verified. The standard in my experience (operating 10-15 accounts) is 12 hours these days.

How much are you withdrawing, and how long do you leave the money in the account before withdrawing it? I only ever get under 72 hours if I'm withdrawing low amounts or leaving the money for weeks/months before touching it.

I always getting 12h hold, was a time that always i get 72h hold, but now it's rare.

I have so much experience with these holds that I instinctively know when to withdraw most of the time and for how much.

It's an algorithm that Paypal uses based on the money you receive and how much you withdraw.

The longer you leave money in Paypal the less you get this error, but of course we don't like to leave money in Paypal in case we get limited.

It happens often when you are trying to withdraw almost every available penny

For example: You have $10 balance, the next day you recieve $100 and try to withdraw all of it, better to withdraw $30

any hold means your account got fraud score points. It can be because of:
recently add/remove card and try to withdraw
recently got the money and immediately try to withdraw
the account is yonger then 1 month
withdrawal of all the money at the account

How about purchases? I dont feel comfortable withdrawing but I need to use the funds for order fulfillment. Will I run into any issues making a bunch of purchases with funds from orders i received about a month ago?

You won't be able to use the funds if your pp is a USA-based one since it would have to be SSN verified - otherwise, withdrawal to bank only
