I am in financial hardship due to covid-19. I have sold some of my business equipment on eBay not a large amount £250 last week and it was collected. Buyer has confirmed receipt and left good feedback. Money was released. I transferred it to my bank account and PayPal message popped up to say they are reviewing the transfer and it will take 0-72 hours. I have sold numerous products on eBay all around this amount and never had this trouble before. I have been in contact with PayPal and explained my situation, I need this money to buy food for my family but they said there is nothing they can do to hurry up the process. It has now been longer than 3 days and the transaction is still showing as pending. We are down to our last meal and I really don’t know what we are going to now. PayPal are holding my money at a time where it is needed so much. I can’t ring them as no one is there. I have been messaging them constantly since last week and no one is helping. What do I do?

My money isn’t being held through a hold because I’ve sold something. That part is finalised. I am a regular seller on eBay and my money is always released either straight away or upon good feedback which is what happened here. Once it was released I transferred it to my bank as I do every time and it is in straight away however for the first time on my account once i transferred it from PayPal to my bank it popped up a message ‘transfer under review 0-72 hours’ I have been in contact with PayPal and they said it’s random selection and will be released after 3 days however it has been 3 days and they still haven’t released it!

Do you work for PayPal? You seem to know more than they do??? If they tell me 0-72 hours then why would I have to wait longer?
