Bank Withdrawal still says 'Pending' -- Should I be worried?

ReduxRetro · #1 04-24-2015

Newer Stealth account. With all accounts I've had, usually 20-24 hours after withdrawaling it updates to 'Completed' and then the following day I get the funds.

I did a withdrawal yesterday at about 6PM EST, so almost 25-26 hours ago, and it still says 'Pending'.

This has me worried, as it is a new stealth account. I've already had two withdrawals of the same amount go through fine, and left funds in the account as well.

Should I be worried?

One thing I have found is there is no absolute consistency with the timing of withdrawals.

Even with my older working accounts, I get occasional delays.... and near panic attacks.

What bank is involved?

ReduxRetro · #3 04-24-2015

Hmm, I usually get it updated to 'Completed' in 24ish hours, always scared if it is Pending after that duration.

In this case I'm using Suntrust!

Have you had any cases or disputes on ebay/paypal?

I sell directly on my own website, and have had no disputes or anything like that.

Like I said, this IS a newer account, but, I've already had two successful withdrawals but this Pending one is worrying me.

On a new PayPal account PayPal do further checks before releasing the money. It will take about 72 hours to reach your bank account. Nothing to worry about normal procedures on a newbie PayPal

I hope you are right, I did not receive my withdrawal today which I normally do if I initiate it on Thursday.

When do you think it will change from 'Pending' to Completed?

Should I be looking to receive my withdrawal Monday? Or do you think Tuesday, or even later?

mufc365 · #8 04-25-2015

Is this a new account? I would wait till Tuesday/Wednesday at the very latest.

If the funds have still not gone through contact Paypal and your bank. Don't panic yet you only initiated the transfer 2 days ago

Yep, it is a new account, so I know this is somewhat standard. However, usually when it happens on new accounts its the first withdrawal. This is the third, and the other two went perfectly (completed after 24 hours, in account next day), and that's what has me worried!

Is everything OK with your buyer?

Yep, no issues, at least to my knowledge.

Sighs.... a waiting game then.

Hoping for the best, Redux'.

Yep, good ole waiting game. What's new with PayPal :P

Thanks a lot guys. I'll be sure to post back here every ~24 hours with updates either way, for future concerns.

Withdrawals take 24-72 hours now. There's nothing to worry about.

I get this, but the fear is the whole still 'Pending' withdrawal rather than saying Completed.

Also as an update, we are now over 48 hours and it is still Pending.

mufc365 · #16 04-26-2015

@ Reduxretro hate to be the bearer of bad news but unfortunately it might say pending later on.

This happened to one of my Paypal accounts funds were received within 24 hours at first then it start taking 72 hours and after that i noticed my funds were in a pending balance and they would be available 21 days after i received payment

When that happens it's for receiving your funds in your balance, right? I've actually already had the funds in my balance and chosen to withdraw them to my bank account.

mufc365 · #18 04-26-2015

Yes but when you start receiving more funds and withdrawing them they may start holding the funds for 21 days. It's mainly if it's a new PayPal account

ReduxRetro · #19 04-26-2015

Wouldn't I get a notice if that was the case? It wouldn't just hold my withdraw as 'Pending' for 21 days would it?

mufc365 · #20 04-26-2015

I got no notice on mine and they didn't even bother to send an email. The funds that I did withdraw took up to 2 hours instead of 72 hours once it said pending. They can do whatever they want because they are ***** and its PayPal!

I never seen a withdrawal stay pending for 21 days on a U.S. Account, could be a UK thing so don't worry about that

But on new accounts the first 5-6 withdrawals anyone could be held from 1-4 days, so don't panic, this is standard and is stated at the time of each withdrawal

If you have had no chargebacks or returns or any major issues, don't panic

If u withdrew Thursday u will get it Monday or Tuesday

Yeah, I never heard of a 21 pending on withdrawals either. Maybe on funds in general but not a cleared funds withdrawal.

Anyway man, this information really puts my mind at ease, I appreciate it. I'll still post back here in about 2-3 hours once the 72 hour mark as hit and then again tomorrow (until the issue is resolved) just so everyone knows for the future. Obviously it's a case by case situation but so we at least have some information on here to go off of.
