These pending withdrawls seem to be getting out of hand, The first one that happened to me was about 1 or 2 weeks ago on a withdrawl of around £180 which I totally understand as its quite a lot of money, but what I don't understand is why since them, it has happened on all my other withdrawls (3 withdrawls.)
When the first one occured, I rang paypal to Just ask how long it would take, and a man told me it would take upto 72 hours, but it usualy takes around 21, he also told me not to withdraw any funds until the money had cleared or these would become pending also, so I waited. I then transfered a smaller amount of £25, which also became pending, so again, I had to wait for this to clear..
Recently on saturday, I withdrawed £25 again, which also became pending, so I rang up again, and the man I spoke to from paypal was quite rude, not listening to anything I was saying at all, and just telling me it will take upto 72 hours because someone needs to check it, I was pretty angry as you can understand, so I just hung up and gave it 72 hours to clear, the day this cleared, (yesterday) I transfered the last of the money from my account to my bank as I am planning to stop using paypal when possible due to this (£40), but you'll never guess what?
IT HAPPENED AGAIN! Its beyond a joke, I'm not happy in the slightest, the thing that annoys me is, it always takes exactly 72 hours, which in my eyes, just gives me the impression that they are holding money to gain interest, not for someone to "Check it" as surely this would make the money go through when someone checks it?
I'm sure they can't do this? Fair enough if it was once in a while, but everytime? Its out of order, I am taking this further with the correct authoroties as it seams to be a huge problem as I can see in the forum..
