Why are withdrawals suddenly taking so long?

[flowerp0wer]

Usually I withdraw from paypal to my bank account as i need it, and the money transfers in stantly. However since Monday, my withdrawals have all gone as pending out of my paypal and not reached my account yet, even though paypal says the withdrawal usually takes under 2 hours. Please help me get the instant withdrawals back, as I have payments I need to make from my bank account today. There is enough money in the paypal, just struggling to get it out.

Thanks

Hi flowerp0wer,

Welcome to the community forum and thanks for posting.

When it detects an issue our internal security system delays withdrawal while we review them. For security reasons we cannot provide the exact reason why this happened, but possible reasons include:

• You may have received a higher-than-usual amount of money into your account recently
• You may have started selling more expensive items
• You may have started to sell different items
• You may have made changes to your account profile (such as adding a new address or a new bank account)
• You may have accessed your account differently recently (such as logging in from abroad)
• You may have received a higher-than-usual number of chargebacks, refunds, complaints or claims recently
• You may have reported unauthorised activity on your PayPal account recently

Since this is happening all week I recommend clearing cache and cookies on the device you are using and making sure that you are only logging in using secure, private WIFI.
