Paypal withdrawal 3-4 working days

mao · #23 02-23-2016

Got an email from PP saying if I tried to withdraw over the weekend using faster payment method (which I did) then the website had technical issues. My payment is now in a queue and will take another 4 business days. Thanks for that paypal.

This is where there is a crossover with paypal.com and the uk version. If you get these strange messages, or any that say 3 - 5 days, check your address bar, you are likely in .com. Just log out and re-enter making sure you get in via the UK bit.

soon as you type in .com it auto redirects you to the UK site does it not?

It should, but doesn't 100 % of the time. It happened to me, and offered me 3-5 days bank transfer withdrawal, and many other wordings against the norm, which is how I noticed.

Think of going back in time to 1983 and getting crossed lines on the telephone. ( Showing my age there!)

I dont think i typed it wrong, its in my browsing history which i never delet eon stealth. i got an email saying it was a technical fault on their part.

The header of the email was - PAYMENT DELAYED

How is that for a bit of trolling from PP, i tell you my heart sank until i read it lol. anyone else get this email or have this prob if they witdrew over weekend and got the 3-4 day withdrawal?

mao · #30 02-24-2016

Some of my funds are in the bank, and some aren't even though it says completed on paypal is that normal?

Did you you factor in 21st was a Sunday so only 2 days if the transaction was registered Monday - not too worrisome yet

Im not to worried at the moment as ive seen completed payments before on my PP on other accounts and not receiving them for another day or 2. Obviouslty it does say 4 business days so Friday at latest, if not in for then ill defo be panicking lol.

What I am worried though is can PP still reverse payment if its "completed"

All my accounts are back to normal, and down to instant withdrawals after their glitch.

Ive had intermittent problems in the past where, all of a sudden, Paypal will give me the message that my withdrawal could take up to 72 hours etc. If you click to go back on your browser (to previous page) before you submit the withdrawal request and then try it again, you will find that very often it changes back to Instant Withdrawal. Ive done this several times and its worked. Just a thought.

I wouldnt risk doing this. Sometimes it works and sometimes they will limit you.

Really?

I do this all the time, pretty sure many on here also do, used to be a pretty standard trick although not sure it still works quite as well as it used to.

Also used it all the time before. The limitation would occur like this:

1. Withdrawal screen says 72 hours
2. Hit cancel or back button, try again
3. Withdrawal says 72 hours
4. Hit cancel or back button, try again
5 Withdrawal screen now says 'Verify'
6. Cancel
7. 30 minutes later. Your paypal account has been limited

Happened to about 3 accounts over last year. Not worth the risk or headache for me. If it says 72 hours i just try again a few hours later. Normally goes back to 2 hours or 24 hours at worst.

I just wonder why it's problem to wait this 72 hours. For me it's always release after 72hours.
No need to worry.

damac · #44 04-10-2016

lol the new screen is back for me on over 17 accounts now. anyone else having this issue? Hopefully it goes away after the weekend again.
