Hi @jsmassoc ,

 

Thank you for your patience.Though our response time may be delayed, be assured we're here and to answer your question, Withdrawals can take up to 72 hrs to complete through the PayPal system. Generally they will complete within 1 business day and it will be within 30 minutes if you choose one of the instant withdrawal channels, however we will occasionally hold a withdrawal for further review. To provide one of the safest online payment services, our internal security system reviews every transaction before it's released.

This type of review can happen for various reasons. For example, you may have received a higher-than-usual amount of money into your account, you may be logging in from an unsecure network or you may have made changes to your account Settings recently.

Once our review has finished, your withdrawal will show as ‘completed’ and will be processed to your card or bank account as long as the review did not turn up any issues. Withdrawals to bank accounts can take 3 to 5 working days.


Hope it helps and stay safe.

If you are talking about the new seller hold or a hold due to a limitation that you gave them permission to do this when you opened your paypal account and agreed to their legal user agreement.
