Withdrawal: Pending?

My parents occasionally transfer money to me via Paypal, and I've never had a problem with withdrawing funds and transferring them to my bank so far. 

Earlier today however I was sent some money which I need urgently to pay a bill. I tried to withdraw it as usual, but it has said the withdrawal is pending and may take up to 21 hours to be reviewed and possibly another 2 hours for the money to be transferred. I'm a little concerned about this because I need to pay this bill by tomorrow morning, and I have a feeling the funds won't reach my account til Monday at the earliest now.

 

Is there any reason for this to be happening after several successful transfers in the past? Assuming the review is successful, will the funds be in my account tomorrow or will it wait until Monday, regardless of it saying it will take up to 21 hours?

Exact same as mine has said, I called up earlier and after a really annoying automated service was told by someone that it could be there on Wednesday.... or it might not, I will just have to wait and see 😞

My past seven withdrawals have all been 'reviewed for 21 hours'. SEVEN. Seven withdrawals reviewed. PLEASE explain to me how the **bleep** that works. Does the security check not work the first time around so they need to review EVERY withdrawal? 

 

I also like how it says that my withdrawal will be under review BEFORE I even submit it. Even if I withdraw £1. 

 

Something's not right.

 

Disgusting service. We're a hard-working business and just feel like you're keeping hold of our money for interest purposes.
