Instant Transfer to Debit Card

I did the instant transfer to debit card from my wallet.  Paypal assures you this will be complete in 30 minutes.  It's been over an hour.  The money is gone from Paypal, but not in my bank account.  I could have used this money 59 minutes ago, as I am hungry, and I need it to buy lunch.  Don't tell me something is going to be instant (or take 30 minutes) when clerly this is false (based on many other people's comments).

Same here.  I did two recently even on the 31st.  Then tried on the 1st and 2nd today and I dont even have the option anymore.  Perhaps something happened and they turned it off?

I hope not. I love this feature. PayPal takes way too long to transfer without it. I've even used square cash just because they do have instant and it works. I hope they keep it, and fix this mess.

Yes! That’s exactly what happened. I called because I was able to use the instant transfer but then the option suddenly agent away. I called customer service and they said that their developers decided to turn the option off because too many people were having issues. They expect for the option to be back January 1st.

I think they're telling or doing different things. I was able to use it twice in the same day Nov 3rd

This is a joke. 1st time I have ever done this and after 6 hours still waiting to see funds in my account. Like others have said would of simply did transfer to bank checking account and got money in the morning. Even got the transfer email and in PayPal account shows transfer was completed not pending and still no funds. Do not use this option it’s not worth the worry of where the hell your money is. Called CS twice and they have no idea either.

This is clearly a faulty service and maybe it seems like trouble to complain about .25 but imagine X number of people paying .25 to not get what they paid for, how profitable that is for Paypal.

Instant transfer.  I have had to use it over 10 times and everytime it takes over 2 days.  Paypal is comminting perjury on a massive scale.  Because of paypal lying to me about the duration of the transfer, I am stranded and my weekend is ruined.  

If i would have known this was going to happen i would have just left the money in my paypal balance.  Someone needs to start a class action lawsuit against this company, even if it just .25 cents.
