Transferred money paypal to paypal under review
 

Right guys think I've ****ed up a couple of my paypal accounts, basically I've lost my pin for my credit card and needed some money ASAP, so created a paypal account and added my credit card to it, then i transferred some money to a stealth paypal account from it, got this email to my stealth account as soon as money was transferred over successfully. what do you think will happen? Both accounts are in my real name aswell.

They will either approve or cancel the transaction. What else are you expecting??

This is what happens when you try to send significant funds on a brand new account, unverified and unconfirmed.

Agree with ebayorbust, it looks like you panicked and scrambled to make a new Paypal and get cash out. Was it a lot that you tried to transfer?

Thought my account was getting manually viewed by paypal due to the paypal's having similarities, got a email 5 mins after saying it's cleared so everything's ok thanks.

Glad to see it worked out for you.

I would not make a habit of it but I understand your situation it was probably worth the risk to you.

I totally agree with Sandy on this one. You got lucky this time. I would avoid doing it again, if at all possible.

Completely false. If you send anything over $100 (could even be a little less) they will review it. This happens to me an accounts that are confirmed and verified.
