I am having the problem.  In the past, when I withdraw funds from PayPal the status reads "Completed" within minutes.    Now it's taking a couple of days before they update the status and complete the request.  I called them and was told that my transfer was randomly chosen for review and it would take 72 hours to release the funds.  But again, I made another withdrawal and same issue. It's still pending for 2 days.

Any ideas about what's going on?

Yes, I have the same issue on the last 12 withdrawals. They say they are working on it, but it's too long time passed since the first "random" review. Now ALL transactions are placed under review.

I have the exact same issue: ALL my withdrawal request are "randomly" picked for security check. So all my withdrawals need 72-96 hours just to be cleared by PayPal. Then other 48-72h for y bank to process the transaction.

For over one year I was getting "completed" transaction within 5-10' after requesting the withdrawal. Same usual amounts, same VERIFIED card, same computer from which I'm ordering the payment. Absolutely no reason for which the system "randomly picks up" my transactions for review.

PayPal obviously has a problem and it has nothing to do with security issue. They're simply holding the money for their own benefit. I can find absolutely no other explanation.

I'm seriously considering cancelling my account.

Im having the same issue with Paypal and I am looking for an alternative which atleast lets you withdraw money anytime. This is like you go to your bank to withdraw and they say no you cant have your money unless OUR security checks are complete.
