Withdrawals take from 2-24 hours UNLESS you get an email to say that you are subject to a 72 hour security hold.


It seems to work this way >>

When a buyer pays you it is often not instant if they fund it from their bank account via paypal. Paypal CREDIT you the funds so the buyer gets their item quickly and then paypal take the wait for the funds to transfer to paypal........normally 5 days ish.

So if you withdraw those funds straight away then its paypals funds you are withdrawing and so they put on a "random security hold" until the buyers payment has time to play catch up.

I find if i only withdraw funds every 2-4 weeks then i don't get the delay.
