Santander (i know, i know) + paypal. withdrawal problem.

[andyest1984]

hi, first post here.

i've never had a problem withdrawing funds from paypal to my santander account but this time i have. (i know santander suck but i was with alliance leicester before the santander takeover)

Anyway, i withdrew some funds from paypal to my santander account and its been 7 business days and still nothing has appeared in my bank account. I've never had this problem before, it usually takes 2-4 business days with this account. It said completed long ago (after day 1 i think) my paypal balance is now £0.00 becasue i only had a small amount in it (i rarely leave funds as paypal balance) so the funds must be somewhere?

Now i'm having another problem becasue i owe someone a refund, but i don't want to pump more money through paypal until this withdrawal is sorted incase they are stealing my money...i wouldnt put it past them. I hope the person i now owe understands this.

The missing amount is only £15 but its the principle of the thing, im not giving it to paypal!

Welcome to the forum

Can you tell me what day and what time of that day, you started the transfer?
I would like to check if it is actually 7 (real) business days.

Some banks were slower last week. I had transactions done on Tuesday 17th that were delayed. Hopefully that may be a reason for you also.

Hmmm have you actually ever withdraw money to this bank account before? And why do you owe someone money? Is that from a chargeback/dispute?

hi guys.thanks for the replys.
it was sent on the 17th of april, it said compleated since the 17th or 18th. ive always used this santander account with ebay/paypal without problems. I just owe someone a refund from the 24th for a item on ebay, i dont think it will affect my withdwawal as they have not put in a claim, i told them i will send it as soon as i get this withdrawal sorted, which i think they understand. I just hope they don't put in a dispute yet until this is sorted out.

sorry i think this was posted in the wrong section of the forum, noob :(.

You should always leave funds in your paypal balance enough for refunds etc

[andyest1984]

i didnt really expect to be giving a refund, ill sort it. thats a seperate issue anyway.
i just want to know why its compleated but i still dont have it. im putting no more money into paypal until i know where my other money is becasue i dont trust them. its only a fiver refund.

I have a feeling that the funds not showing up in your bank account from your paypal account which has a customer refund issue on it is the very likely issue as to why the funds have not appeared in your bank account; even if it says transaction completed on your paypal account.

I'll hedge my bet & say them two issues are interlinked at some level.

Been using Santander for over 12 months (current account) & A & L similar (business account) with no problems so far
