3rd PENDING Paypal on trot
 

I have looked around and not had much luck in finding out whats going on with pending transfers from my paypal to my bank.

On saturday i transfered money from it and then half hour later i transfered more as i was confused as to why it hadnt gone over to my account. Then i notice the pending notice. so next morning i phoned them they said the payments will be released after 21hours. I asked why it happened they said its just random and because i put another in while the first was pending then that one was being checked also.
Anyway the money went in and i thought that was the end of it. Today i transfered some money to my account and the same thing has happened. Im tempted to call again but dont know if there is any point.

Question is: WHAT is going on?
and How long is this going to keep happening?
Surly if it was a security thing they could have sorted it the first couple of times. Im confused what they are trying to find out. I pay my supplier through my bank account u know a couple iffy things but never pay for them through paypal.
Help lol

Paypal can seem to be random with their actions but they are likely doing actions because your account is being seen as some sort of risk-threat (whether light, medium, or severe, etc.)

More info would help to give advice.

All about building account credibility and longterm viability....take it slowly OP, dont panic

Any withdraw can be place in a que to be reviewed by PayPal. This can sometimes be for upto 72 hours.

I would avoid ringing them and just be thankful that its just a 24 hours delay.

It should in time revert to being within 2 hours again.

when this started over a year ago (?), there was a spate of panic posts about it, as everybody was getting it on new accs...but it is not forever, it goes to 2 hour transfer after a while, nerve-wracking but standard and never had a problem with actually getting the funds after the 72 hours...

pending seems to happen on young paypal accounts and high risk items and large amounts of withdrawals and its a fraud prevention tactic

I agree. I have had it in the past and then not had it at all on accounts. You have to think what a scammer would do (withdraw money, then withdraw 30 mins later) if you are taking money out of your pp as it goes in then that alone is a flag. Just take your time and leave money in the account as long as you can.
