Hi LewisBMW,
Thank you for contacting the PayPal Community Forum and welcome as a new member!
It sounds like our internal security system has delayed your withdrawal. Possible reasons for this 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
Keeping the PayPal environment secure is always our utmost concern so we try to identify patterns that don't match your usual activity. Many banks and credit card companies work this way too.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
- Siobhan
