Well....   I withdrew three amounts yesterday.   One for £20 was put under review (ho hum) and is still under review more than 24 hours later. Paypal say it can take up to 72 hours,    When I asked them why it does not state that on the mail they send, I was told that it was a technical issue.   2 other small withdrawals, were bounced by my bank. Only they were not.... My bank never got a sniff of those transactions.     Just had a heated convo with Paypal...   Asked for the detais of where to send a subject access request application they said they will call me back to arrange that. What rubbish... SAR's do not work like that.   Asked who the company's Data Protection Officer was - Nobody knew   Asked who their security head honcho was - They don't have one   Asked what exactly they did that took 72 hours, they could not discuss that for security (insecurity?) reasons.   They are not governed by the FSA with regards BUT they ARE goverened by the FOS and in Luxembourg the CSSF.   So to recap, a company with my security at heart and my financial data in it's database has no DPO, no security management oversight, can't play fair with the faster payments scheme and will not explain what it is doing with my and your data whenever they conduct a review.    No doubt, now I have created a stink, Paypal will find an excuse to suspend my account... Let's see ... View more

The point being, that if it really IS for security reasons, ONCE would be enough for a given bank account. If not then it is procedurely suspect.   The fact that Paypal are reticent in explaining when asked to do so, as to why they are doing this, what a given issue is etc, says to me and I suppose others, that there is another reason at the base of it all which is to the benefit of Paypal.   If Paypal was up front about this and realised that whilst we agree to something it does not give them carte blanche to do what they do without recourse to explain why, I would be less incensed.   It's not what they are doing but how... ...

I think the only way to get a straight answer is via your Member of Parliament, which is what I think I will do, being a curious type.  ... View more

Hi all,   I just logged on this morning and withdrew £23 for some model making bits I sold yesterday to a chap over the pond. When I completed the withdrawal process, it informed me that my withdrawal would be on hold while it was reviewed...   What gives?   A quick surf shows that there are many, many people in the same situation in the last few days, which would indicate that this is a widespread issue. ...
