[Tomzytech]

Paypal Normally take 24hours to process my withdrawal until recent when i saw a 72hours delay after several error of "Something went wrong, try again later"... I decided to proceed and few hours later, the payment got denied and my account was limited.

I submitted the required documents and my account got restored. Now i try to process the withdrawal again yet it keeps giving me same error till it display a 72hours delay like it did the first time. I don't understand why this error which is really frustrating because the money is need urgently

Am even starting to think if i proceed with the 72hours delay, My account can get limited.

Hi @Tomzytech!

Welcome to the PayPal Community.

Firstly, I understand the inconvenience you have experienced in this matter so far and I appreciate the effort that you have made to try and resolve this issue.

It sounds like our internal security system has delayed your withdrawal while we review it. Possible reasons why this can happen 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 unauthorized 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.

The hold can be applied for 2 to 72 hours depending on the perceived risk. Unfortunately, the system doesn’t give us specifics.

After this review completes, your withdrawal should be processed normally by our system and you will receive the funds in your bank account or card within 1 to 5 business days. Withdrawals to a bank account typically complete in 1 business day but it may take up to 5 business days to show in your bank account depending on your bank's clearing process.
