"Your transfer request is under review" How to fix this problem?

[itsKamaKazi]

I have had my paypal account for some time now and my account is fully verified via my bank and my debit card. Paypal claims that all transfers take up to 30 minutes but for some reason, all my transfers go through a security review that says it could take up to 72 hours however sometimes it takes up to 5 days. Even a $10 transfer took me 5 days. The amounts I transfer are small (Never more than $150) so what can I do to stop having to wait for MY money? It is ridiculous that I have to wait days on end for small amounts of MY money, especially when I've done multiple transfers already. How many more times do I have to wait until Paypal actually sends me my money within 30 minutes like they claim they can? Starting to get really frustrated and thinking about just deleting my account for good.

Hi itsKamaKazi,

Welcome to our UK Community!

We normally aim to have funds trasfered in to bank account with 2  to 72 hours. This happens sometimes a lot quicker. But if a transfer is held for security review longer than 72 hours after submitting the withdrawal request , I would suggest you reach out to our Customer to review this for you.

As we are unable to see or discuss your account through the Community, you should try contacting us directly on  0800 358 7911 or send a request thropugh the secure Message Centre on your account.

Thanks

Martin

Hey Holtvillejm13.

Welcome to the Community!

If a withdrawal hold has been placed on a payment you have initiated through your account recently, this would be fully automated so it would be hard to tell how this has happened. 

You can find more information on withdrawal holds here https://goo.gl/aSdajY

I hope this helps.
