Every payment pending

[Louise3]

Hi I wonder if anyone else is experiencing every payment pending for them? The first payment I took out of 50 was fine went into my account immediately. However every single transaction since just goes straight to pending and is taking ages. I know that some will do this but thought it was pot luck. Surely the whole idea of using PayPal is to have quicker access to our funds rather than waiting 2/3 days to receive anything.

Pending IN your paypal account waiting to clear into your paypal account balance?

Or a pending withdrawal to your bank account?

Sorry I should have said its every withdrawal to my bank account. The first one went into my bank in minutes but every single withdrawal since then ( last month and half) have all went to pending immediately and taking a few days.

Thats odd, in the UK it should take no longer than 2 - 24 hours UNLESS you get an email to say you are subject to a  random security hold of 72 hours.

BUT that hold should not be every time !!!!

Personally i would contact paypal and ask why that is happening >>

have you considered contacting Customer Service via Facebook or Twitter?

You can send them a personal message from their facebook or twitter pages.

It's: https://www.facebook.com/PayPalUK and @AskPayPal for Twitter.

Thanks for this. I just emailed them and will also use the Facebook page. I don't get an email to say it's gone for checks just one to say you have requested a withdrawal and this can take up to 72 hours to process. Then it sits pending for ages. It's the same for every transaction
