Hi I've always had problems with making with making a withdrawal but looking back, since becoming Top Rated it's becoming virtually impossible to withdraw the funds! A standard withdrawal in my experience has never taken more than 4 working days, if I'm lucky maybe 3 but that's extremely rare. I've read in many posts to allow 5 working days (worse case scenario). However, I withdrew £300 on the 1st Feb and it still isn't in my bank account today, obviously 5 working days doesn't apply to all. A withdrawal I made on the 2nd hasn't hit my account today (4th working day). Plus I made a wire transfer on the 6th, expecting it today .... nope nada! I finally lost my patience with it all today so I called PayPal. Apparently the withdrawals I made on the 1st and 2nd didn't complete until yesterday. Bearing in mind those were 'standard' withdrawals. Surprise, surprise the wire transfer I made on the 6th has gone into 'security review' I don't know whether I'm being targeted solely or what, but it's every time I withdraw. I'm running a company, I hold a verified business Premier account - yes, I have numerous payments coming through every day - and thus reflects the amounts I withdraw to keep my cashflow healthy. This so called 'unusual pattern' is really wearing thin now. I have a very clean record, no chargebacks etc etc. I have just short of £1,600 floating away up there.... somewhere but meanwhile I have to fulfil orders - replenish stock, post to customers, and pay my bills!!! Are PayPal trying to destroy everyone's business?? At least with Amazon you know that the funds are remitted every 2 weeks. It might even help if PayPal had the decency to let you know that they're going to hold your funds for a little longer, surely? To say I am extremely annoyed is an understatement!!
