I normally transfer funds sing my First Direct account but my sister asked if she could use PayPal to transfer some money that she owed me. I looked into this and was told by a ‘helpful’ advisor that as long as my bank account was verified I could transfer the money and it would take up to 2 hours.
I received the money, went to withdraw it and it said it would take two hours but since then my withdrawal has been pending. I spoke to someone else who told me that this was due to it being an unusually high amount of money. The amount is actually £57.77 and I very nearly accused the agent of being unusually high themselves.
I can can understand why PayPal sometimes have to be careful as they’re not a proper bank but I refuse to believe that there is nobody there that can have a look at this and see it’s not some dodgy scam but a mere transfer of funds between siblings
The 72 hours is up on a Saturday afternoon and I have a nasty feeling that it won’t clear into my bank account until the following working day. This has been a bit of a ball ache for me and but I’m more annoyed at PayPal’s attitude more than anything. It’s lucky that this wasn’t my last £57.77 and I was relying on that money for bills etc. but I bet there are plenty of others out there who do
It goes without saying that I will never use their services again and I’ll stick to real banks from now on
Solved! Go to Solution.

I am experiencing this problem as we speak.
It's been more than three days, and I'm told it take upto 5 days at this point.
So much for "One business day", I should have just paid the $10 fee for insta transfer, because as of now my bank has reached negative balance for this reason.
Unreliable.

This is as clear as day. I just received £50 cash which I immediately withdrew, its an established account with a fantastic history - done immediately many times before.

lightbulb 💡
what if? PayPal kept a £100million in pending for 72hours - that’s a whopping £20,000 in interest. Security 🤥

Same here, I'm waiting almost for 4 days and withdraw is still "pending". Really? I'm really unsatisfied, it's a last time when I'm using PayPal, they don't understand that regular human needs that money for living. Next time I will use only my bank account.

I think real banks is the best solution. Although i have my first pending, PayPal always dissapoints me.
