Funds disappeared

Hi Paypal

Is it normal for fund transfers to take more than 7 days between Paypal and personal bank accounts.

I now have a transaction dating back more than 7 business days and thus far there is no sign of the funds arriving in my account.

Ive emailed twice in the past 4 days and Ive had zero response or assistance for either.

 

Can you shed some light.


Thanks

When  did you initiate the transaction?

What are the details as seen from the transaction detials from your PayPal activity list?

Where is your bank?

Thanks DPCreations

 

Funds transferred on the 5th (My bank account is here in New Zealand where I live)

I use Paypal extensively for business and every single transfer Ive done with Paypal in the 4 years I've been doing this has been compelted in 4 days or less hence this is uncharacteristic and has alarm bells ringing.

 

Cheers

Anton

Sorry also in addition to this the Paypal details simply state that the transfer has been completed.

If you initiated the transaction on 5 September, today doesn't seem too long.  I don't don't know if a U. S. holiday on 5 Septebmer had an impact; today is only the 4th or 5th business day.

I don't check my transcations on a daily basis as there is always sufficient funds in my bank account; I just know the funds will transfer.

Completed means that PayPal processed your withdrawl.  Does not mean that the money is in your bank.  It may still take up to several days before the money is available in your bank account.  If there is an issue with your withdrawl, it may take up to a week for your bank to inform PayPal and you will be informed by PayPal if they learn of any problems processing your withdrawl.

 

If the bank denies your transfer and returns the money to your PP account, you will be notified and may charged a return fee.  Check with your bank about the delay.

 

This post is of relevance to your case.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
