Hi AleliDacanay, Thank you for reaching out to use regarding the withdrawal from your account. A Complete status means we have processed your withdrawal. It still may take your bank several days to make the money available in your bank account. If there is a problem with your withdrawal, it may take up to one week for your bank to notify us. We’ll alert you by email if we learn of any problems processing your withdrawal. I hope this helps, Donna ... View more

72 hours is occasional not every time. I have had the hold about 3 times in the last 12 months. ... View more

Hi mr_blonde,   As snowshoe rightly said no one here can check your PayPal account to find the exact reason behind longer than usual withdrawal time.   In general, most customers receive their money in their bank account within 2 hours - and in many cases within 15 minutes. When you see withdrawal's status as 'Completed' it doesn't mean that your funds are already in your bank account, it means that they were successfully sent in your banks direction but it may take from 15 min. to 7 days to see them in your bank account.   Please notice that you've withdrawn funds on Sunday which sometimes causes a delay as some banks don't process transactions as normal during weekends.   Additionally I would like to note that withdrawal trace wouldn't be effective in this situation as it is usually used for transactions not showing in the account after 14 days since the withdrawal date.   Hope it helps to understand the process a bit better and I hope you will receive your funds soon.   Have a great day.   Regards Anna     ...

Hi mr_blonde,   This sounds very frustrating.   Just clarify the new process I would like to confirm that there are few different hold types for new sellers however the general rule to speed up funds release is to :   - add valid trancing number in PayPal transaction details  - check on your shipping company website if the item has been delivered - add 3 days/72 hours to delivery date - call PayPal Customer Servise to get your funds released right away!   Hope it helps.   Thanks!
