Very annoying as before if it said 72 hours then you could leave it and try again the next day and hope it's 2 hours. Now you have no way of knowing how long it will take, if doing unconfirmed withdrawals you are now more likely to lose the bank account as your account can get limited anytime within that 72 hours

Do paypal review every transfer if its 72 hours? or do they just make youw ait the 72 hours I cant imagine them having the power to review everyone?

FYI, my new accounts have always taken full 72 hours before money reached bank. Thought after a few withdraws, it goes down to instant withdraw (2 hours).

do you think they actually monitor all of them? I saw someone say if he has over a 1000 in his account and withdraws he always gets limited ifo its 72 hours lol.

aaaah, yes, also applies to me, when I send money which is £500+, that wont get to the other end for 72 hours.

Its just a risk based system. Think of it as, the Paypal system is slowly getting to know you. Sooner or later it will trust you enough to start dishing out money instantly (2 hours)

yes, I saw it this way too, I dont think though they actually monitor it if you think of how many people are withdrawing. I think they just make youw ait 72 hours to check for charge backs etc

Yes exactly, because when I say it takes 72 hours, it literally takes exactly 72 hours, until I get an email saying your money has been released and will be with you in 2 hours (though it happens instantly thereafter).

wtf is happening with PP withdrawals these days, never know if its 2hours or 72hours anymore, horrible new setup they have. Even when you put the classic site link in youre redirected to the new page. ive noticed on EVERY account I have im all 72hours now even on extremely strong accounts. pissed off isn't even the start of it tbh.

I think they might be getting rid of Faster Payments altogether and going back to the old way.

I just tried to add a new bank account on a 3-week old PP account. The whole layout was different. It says that 2 small deposits would be placed in said bank account, I need to check for these 2 deposits, enter exact amounts, then PP will retrieve later. Nothing about 4-digit code.

Strange!

Nothing has really changed for me.....even though it may say 0-3 days most my payments are in my accounts within a few minutes.

Personally I dont see the issue with waiting 72 hours. If its protocol, let it be. Its by no means a ridiculous amount of time, its not as though their telling you to wait 14 days etc.

Can anyone else confirm this is happening atm?

Suspicious? I have screenshot...

As for withdrawals...

As some of you know, summer or the run-up to summer is my best time. Had 12 withdrawals last week, on various stealths. All 72 hrs.

I am always suspicious of anything reported as abnormal, and until I see corroborating evidence from multiple sources will remain so. Just my nature and the inner historian in me, nothing personal.

No attach function. Just attach image link. Lazy.
