Withdrawal "complete" but not in my account?

[Robberz]

Hi,

I requested some money to be transferred from my paypal tp my bank after waiting 14 days for them to actually let me have it, It then said it would take another 72 hours as said it was "pending" I got an email at 00:05 on Saturday 28th and it changed to "completed" But so far it has not gone into my account! Should I be worried?

I have read the help section and it says when it says completed it has left paypal system so this tells me that it should be in my account as my bank accept fast payments or has it been released as a basc payment? meaning once its been released from paypal it could take another 3 days to clear in my account?

Thank you in advance for any help

Transfer times can vary from 1 to 4 days plus as each bank is different.  When you see complete on your end, it means that the transaction has been handed off by PayPal to the RTGS system which sits in between PayPal and your Bank.  Don't think at this point there's reason to be worried, the funds should show up soon.

I have had exactly this problem today.

I withdrew funds to my account at 10.03 this am (i had received money from same person, and withdrawn into my back account before several times) and it has been there within minutes.

Over 6 and a half hours later im still waiting. The idiots at paypal dont even know where it has gone, they just keep saying "oh well your account says its completed".

They have requested a 'trace' to find it and my bank told me that can take up to a bloody week. No-one at **bleep**epal seems to have a clue where my money is, or when i will get it, and im seriously peeved as this was a gift to my daughter for xmas, and she wanted to go and spend it today, she's only 8 bless her!!

I just had the same problem as you.  I made a money transfer last March 8, 2017.

PayPal hit me up through mail saying it's going to take 2-4 business days for the transaction to be completed and that the money is supposed to appear on my bank account last MARCH 14. But I keep on checking my bank account for two days now only to be dismayed that there are no transferred funds from PayPal.

My PayPal withdrawal history says "completed". So technically my money left from my PayPal account but is not on my bank! 

I have learned that if it has something to do with the bank issues, PayPal would inform me through mail or will send the money back to my account. But neither of the two happened. 

It has been 8 days since I made the withdrawal. I emailed PayPal already but just received a programmed reply that doesn't really addressed my concern. I'm starting to get worried.

Hi AleliDacanay,

Thank you for reaching out to use regarding the withdrawal from your account. A Complete status means we have processed your withdrawal. It still may take your bank several days to make the money available in your bank account.

If there is a problem with your withdrawal, it may take up to one week for your bank to notify us. We’ll alert you by email if we learn of any problems processing your withdrawal.

I hope this helps,

Donna
