I initiated an instant transfer yesterday at 3pm. It’s now 2pm the following day and it still says pending and PayPal is impossible to get ahold of. What do I do?

Paypal's "instant" transfer feature is a joke and misleading. The company charged me for an instant transfer, and it's taking as long as a standard transfer. I would suggest that no one tries to use their "instant" transfers as there's nothing "instant" about them. It's a fraud. My money has been sitting in limbo for over 24 hours after trying to complete an "instant" transfer. Paypal is a joke and a fraud.

Estimated arrival: about 30 minutes.

All transfers are subject to review and could be delayed or stopped if we identify an issue.

 

Most of mine are instant, with an occasional review.

Not yet. I'm honestly thinking of reporting paypal to the federal trade commission for false advertisement of products and services. There's NOTHING instant about their "instant" transfers. And, they certainly don't move hastily to correct their **bleep** ups. Bunch of knuckle draggers.
