Halifax is still fine for me. Never had any issues.

Sometimes payments can take upto 72 hours. That is all down to PayPal, not the bank

My first withdrawl is now in my bank

Not saying it wont flag at a later date but its in.

Took 72 hr exactly to online saver.

I assume the DD agreement got rejected for this?

So is it true that paypal know when an online saver is added rather than a current acc? And if so, how can they tell?

And is 72hrs withdrawal time a standard thing for savers only??

Also I understand that paypal know if your linked card is a VCC, so if you have only an online saver + vcc on ur PP won't this increase limitation risks

As paypal cant get moeny back from you if they needed to for refunds etc

All accounts have numbers that ID the type.

paypal can determine exactly what type of account is being used.

How? Savers ive seen have 8 digits same as a regular current account number

Also I have seen in paypal after adding a savers acc # and sort code it still says "current account" underneath it?

Yes direct debit was rejected.

72 hrs is normal for new paypal accounts, nothing to do with saver. Paypal sent the Money tonight at 10.39pm. It was in my account at 10.43pm.

I've never had anything other than 'instant' for bank withdrawals no matter how new the acc is...

Was your 72hr after the '21 days hold' also?

Ive had established accounts that often go to 72 hrs when paypal feel like it. Usually if lots of funds pass through.

I logged in 10 days after opening the account and was shocked to find available funds. Turns out all holds had been removed - probably due to good feedback.

The 21 days had already dropped to 15 after tracking was added.
