Oh this did make me laugh, Instant bank transfer, i went ahead and decided to withdraw some cash, 72 hour wait....

 

Yes you read it correctly, that is a 72 hour, 3 day, lot of waiting for my ''instant'' bank transfer 

 

Had nothing but issues since joining paypal

 

Sold a few items on ebay due to being a little short on cash this month..

 

Turns out my Paypal account won't let me use the money for anything, i mean anything

 

have a balance, yet every time i go to check out, Ebay, Iceland, various other shops, its all declined..

 

This is a fully activated, verified, 2 bank accounts loaded Paypal account, with no issues.

 

Starting to wish i did not bother, now to top it off, my instant withdrawal of funds will take 3 days.

 

Please tell me this service gets better?

Withdrawals are 2-72 hours in the U.K.

If you are trying to use funds in your paypal balance then...........

 

1. add a back up credit card.

2. Make sure they are in the correct currency as paypal does not do currency conversion from a balance automatically.

3. Make sure they are not pending.

4. Make sure you have done this...........

Click on the profile tab (icon next to log out) > Click on payments third option along on the thick blue band top of page > second down click on update next to your prefered way to pay and put a dot in one of the options listed.
