Withdrawel STILL pending?!

[laurag]

I withdrew 2 seperate amounts from paypal account last night to my bank and they are still pending? Yet i withdrew another amount this morning and it completed almost immediatly?! Why is this and when can i expect my money to be in my bank account? 😞

If its pending then it could be paypals "security review" ...if that is what it says you just have to wait the time as nothing can speed it up.

But that wouldnt explain why my payments withdrew to my bank account this morning yet the moneys i withdrew last night are still pending?

The security reviews are "random" some go through and some are held for a "review".

I have several solutions to make the most out of your money that is stuck in PayPal.

As you may or may not be aware the FSA (Or whatever they are now called) will not intervene unless there are loads of complaints. This is because PayPal moved its UK offices to Luxembourg in 2007 and are now regulated by the Luxembourg Authorities.

My advice to anyone who has problems with PayPal withdrawals is to Give up...Reverse your pending withdrawal**, donate your money to charity, buy some porn, buy a hosting package create a file called index.php with the following code in .....

<?php echo "PayPal **bleep**"; ?>

or any other unuseful thing you can think of.

Another solution which would need some research is to keep withdrawing and reversing your transactions, PayPal charge 50p to reverse a withdrawal. So Withdraw and Reverse until PayPal has taken all your money in admin fees. Then put an claim in the small claims court online (Moneyclaimonline) to get your money back. These fees will end up being an extorinate penalty, but atleast you get to take PayPal to court!

** To reverse your withdrawal
Goto Resolution Centre
Select Unauthorised Transaction
Find Transaction ID
Just ignore all their abuse crap, click I agree, Next whatever
Now your money (minus the 50p admin fee) will be available to do the above
