paypal are holding y withdrawal to bank and i'm in a panic as it's the only money we have. I've started a new freelance role and also sold something on ebay to raise money for Jan, plus some other smaller bits like surveys etc.

I've made a small withdrawal to bank today and it's been held and I have a lot more to withdraw on Monday. I'm seriously panicking as we have no other funds and I don't know what to do! When will I get my money? I've tried to query it but when I try their website keeps going to an error page and won't let me log a query. 

I am in such a state as we have no money now, my mental health is really suffering- why does this happen and what can do!?

As you have not added your country to your community profile or said in your post then we can't help at the moment (Paypal varies a lot country to country).
