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?

Pleased to say PP have now resolved my transfer, they put money back into my pp account & i managed to transfer over to my bank account in moments.  Whilst very pleased they resolved the matter would have been a nice goodwill gesture if they refunded the fees albeit only £1.75 ($2.00?)

Truly reprehensible that PayPal would advertise waived fees on instant transfers just for the money to get lost in their backend for days. In fact, it seems fraudulent given the "Completed" status of the transaction.

I transferred $45 and its been over 24 hours.  How long does it take to release pending?

my experience with paypal really sucks..and I barely use it..the more I use it the more it sucks..outloud...

if it's not an "instant transfer' then don't call it a fricken 'instant transfer'....capital one...for whom smokes this pp piece of nonsense, clearly, unambiguously pulls up a calender and shows you when the transfer is going to fund...period...so you can plan...and an 'instant transfer' on capital one, is, without all the bugs and checking over and over, IS and instant transfer...

 

I too will be looking for another platform...

I made an instant transfer of $2000 three days ago and it is still being held as pending. They wont let me speak with a representative or message me back. Our electric has been shut off and our rent is past due because they're holding my money for no reason. Please someone help
