I have had exactly this problem today.   I withdrew funds to my account at 10.03 this am (i had received money from same person, and withdrawn into my back account before several times) and it has been there within minutes.   Over 6 and a half hours later im still waiting. The idiots at paypal dont even know where it has gone, they just keep saying "oh well your account says its completed".   They have requested a 'trace' to find it and my bank told me that can take up to a bloody week. No-one at **bleep**epal seems to have a clue where my money is, or when i will get it, and im seriously peeved as this was a gift to my daughter for xmas, and she wanted to go and spend it today, she's only 8 bless her!! ...
