Withdrawall

Hi,

 

I've sold some stuff on eBay, pristine feedback and withdraw small amounts of up to £100 from my paypal to a verified bank account for a good few months now.

 

I saved a bit up in my account and just tried to withdraw nearly £700 but instead of being instant, it's saying I need to wait up to 72 hours for this to be complete.

 

Does anyone know why this could be? Is there a way to speed it up? I was hoping to use the funds within 24 hours as I saved it up.

 

Many thanks guys

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

Security review as its your first withdrawal I would imagine, unfortunately you can't speed it up and also it probably won't clear until dead on the 72 hour marker.  Smiley Sad

Hi!

 

It's not my first withdrawal though, I've withdrawn many times but for much smaller amounts, £100-£200.

 

I'm just a bit confused why all of the sudden it's pending, is it because it's a larger amount? I've since tried to withdraw £20 and that's now also pending.

 

Nothing is wrong with my PP account, I've confirmed IDs and stuff before - all legit

 

Kind regards

Probably because its a higher amount then, we all get them from time to time.

I was thinking that but then I just tried to withdraw £20 and that's pending as well as the £680. 

 

Usually it's instant
