Hello, I am new here to Paypal and have just started selling goods and services with it. I made my first sale yesterday, and clicked on transfer funds to bank. I linked my Debit Card to the account, and was able to transfer the funds instantly. No issues, the money was readily available in minutes. I was very impressed. Under my recent activity it says Instant Withdraw to Debit Card: Completed. Then, i made another sale last night. I went to bed, woke up and went to transfer the funds just like i had done on the previous day. It asked for verification information from me this time, so i took a picture of my Drivers License and a selfie of myself for verification. I tried submitting this from the app and it gave me an error code a few times saying "Verification not available at this time. Please try again in a few minutes". So i tried a few more times and finally *something* happened where it brought me back to my home page with PayPal. My account balance was now at $0 and it shows a pending fund transfer but this time it says "Withdraw to Credit Card: Pending." It also stated something about the process could take up to 12 hours and i would not be charged a fee. My questions are: Is this normal? Why was i able to do an instant transfer my first time, but the second time required a verification process and i was not able to do an instant transfer. Why does it say Withdraw to CREDIT CARD: Pending? I do not have a credit card on file, only my debit card and bank information. I am worried that there is a glitch that is causing the transfer to go to an account that i do not even have linked on my PayPal account. The first order i did says Withdraw to Debit Card: Completed, and worked just fine. I am now concerned about trying to transfer funds with any upcoming sales and running into a similar problem. Should i just wait out the "12 hour" ETA and see what happens, or is this something that someone has had happen before and can ease my anxiety that this is a normal practice. My biggest concern is the error message i received when trying to send my verification photos through the app, which finally went through, but caused this weird delay in my fund transfers. I am worried that the App pushed the verification process through on my end, but not on Paypals end, causing a delay that i did not have with my first transfer. Any input is appreciated. Thanks!
