Missing withdrawal
 

I withdrew some money from a stealth Paypal account, and it shows as complete in Paypal, but nothing has showed in my bank account. It has always been instant. I have just withdrawn a small amount to test it, which showed up in my account instantly as per usual, however the original withdrawal is no where to be seen.

Has this happened to anyone else?

I've never heard of instant paypal withdrawls? Always takes 2-3 days to appear in my bank for me, so just give it a few days

Paypal UK could be glitchy in the update. I have never had instant as 123 stated but post back when the amount does show up OP

Some 2 hour withdrawals come through instantly, but it will still say may take 2 hours to appear in your account

Re: Missing withdrawal
 

Should still be traceable, either party (PayPal / Bank) will be able to see it appear or having left the account.

Technology isn't always reliable but money doesn't go missing.

Still no money shown, sent a message to Paypal, but I will just wait and see what happens.

Instant withdrawals takes no longer than 5 minuts in my case :)
I dont think you should worry thou

Re: Missing withdrawal
 

Usually I wouldn't worry, but it looks like my usual situation is different from many people here.

Withdrawals from Paypal to my bank are always instant, and after withdrawing this "Missing" payment I withdrew a small amount to test it, and sure enough it showed up instantly. It also shows as "completed" on Paypal, but it's not in my account.

I was just posting if anyone else had experienced this.

Did you receive confirmation email from paypal?

Re: Missing withdrawal
 

Any news at all, I would suspect it was a problem at the bank end and not paypal

Re: Missing withdrawal
 

Nothing yet. I will wait until Monday and then i'm not sure to be honest. The amount was sub £100, and i'm not looking to risk a good account for that amount, but it is worrying that this can happen.

I withdrew money from the Paypal again today and it appeared in my bank instantly at usual. Really weird...

Re: Missing withdrawal
 

Perhaps your screen said 2 hours to withdraw but actually you received a 72 hour withdrawal?

but if your bank rejects/ reverses the payment you received it will take a few days to show back onto paypal.

Re: Missing withdrawal
 

Money showed up today, not sure what happened, but it's here.

Re: Missing withdrawal
 

3 days...still well within the timeframe

Re: Missing withdrawal
 

Which is what we originally said by many, 2 hour (which is normally instant) withdrawal, changed to 72 hours ad the OP didnt notice.

Problem solved about three days ago lol

Re: Missing withdrawal
 

Actually it was completely different, and wasn't said by anyone. It said 2 hours, as did the email, but they for some reason sent it as an e-cheque. The transaction also said "Completed" when it should say processing, that was the problem. If it said processing I wouldn't have thought anything different, but it said completed, which it shouldn't say if it hasn't, especially if it was sent by e-cheque.

The other thing that is weird is that an e-cheque usually take a lot longer than 2-3 days, but my bank statement says it was sent via e-cheque (Bank Giro Credit).
