2 Withdrawals on 3-4 days
 

I made a withdrawal yesterday without realising it went to pending. Then I made another one today and it's also gone into pending. So I've got 2 pending withdrawals and it says it will take 3-4 days.

Does this look bad on paypal? I've just read a thread where someone has pending withdrawals for 2 months so i'm panicking a bit. They aren't exactly large withdrawals(<£50) and I usually do daily withdrawals which arrive instantly.

So I guess what I'm askig is if anyone else is facing recent or similar problems with paypal?

This is pretty standard.

Withdrawals will normally be either instant (up to 2 hours), 24 hours or 72 hours.

Most of the time even if you get a withdrawal stating 72 hours it will be still clear in 24 or 48 hours.

When I withdraw on fairly new accounts, I find it takes a full 72 hours. Its more of a hold than a review, since as soon as the 72 hours are offer, within minutes the funds get transferred into the bank. This usually happens for the first few withdrawals.

Once you establish a pattern of withdrawing i.e. £50 every other day, the pending status would be replaced with instant (or 1 hour) deposits.
