Might seem odd replying to my own thread... but there's a method to my madness 🙂 This is my second withdrawal attempt on this account.
How many months/years registered with Paypal?
Since 4th September 2012 for personal account, 2 years + from business account which was the source of payment.
On what date did you start the withdrawal?
10 September 2012
How much was the withdrawal?
£50
How long did it say it would take? 24hrs, 72hrs?
21hrs when I tried to withdraw, subsequent email said 72hrs.
Completed or not, how long has it been so far?
Only a matter of hours...
Do you own or access any other Paypal accounts from the same PC?
Yes. I manage our company accounts from this machine and others in the building.
Have you ever had any chargebacks, reversals or disputes registered against you via Paypal?
Never.
Does your bank support faster payments? Yes, No, Unknown
Yes.
Have you had any contact with Paypal over your withdrawal and if so, what was the content?
No... only the subsequent email telling me it wouldn't be 21hrs but 72hrs.
Is your bank account verified with Paypal?
As of this afternoon, yes.
Did you have any existing limitations (other than withdrawal limits) at the time of withdrawal?
None. Identity & bank account verified.
Additional Comments...
This is the second withdrawal attempt this week. First one took 72.5hrs to reach the bank, prompting legal action. Paypal's Executive Team responded today to explain why it was withheld and that future withdrawals would still be withheld despite them having irrefutable proof that the transactions are genuine and present no risk to Paypal.

This is the 2nd time my money has been held without warning. Last time I made several complaints & ended up getting compensation. This time I called & got nowhere which is par for the course with these idiots. I then sent in a complaint via email which they haven't responded to, it's been more than 24 hours now
