I was refunded by seller as he had wrongly listed an item and it wasn’t what I was looking for. I was refunded on the 15th June and told I had to wait until the 1st July for my refund to clear. Have never, ever waited this long before. Really need the money too for my phone bill as due to pandemic I’m not working or being paid Now until September. So unfair I have to wait 17 days.

Thank you for explaining. I didn’t know it took longer if seller refunded me from bank account. He was quite a big seller so he should’ve kept some money in his PayPal account. But I understand. Thanks for the reply.

I was sent a refund from a seller on the 11th June. It’s obviously pending but how long is the average wait time? I emailed PayPal and they said it won’t clear until 1st July. I’m sure I’ve not waited that long in the past. The payment was debited from my bank 2 days ago so why is going to take an extra 13 days to clear?

Actually his post helped me. Sometimes even replying 4 years later is helpful. At least this person took time out to leave a helpful reply imo.

Why is it that every single withdrawal I make to my bank says this is pending release for further review by PayPal and could take 72 hours? I have never ever had an instant withdrawl. I can't send item I sold on eBay until I have the money in my account as it has to be sent special delivery and costs £20. Why did I recieve an email dying it would take up to 2 hours then another saying it could take 24 hours. Then another saying it could now take 72 hours? I'm very confused as I actually need the money. Why is it taking so long?

It's over 24 hours now and still no money. I have had to contact buyer on ebay and tell him I can't post until money has cleared in my bank as I can't afford the post. Ebay would not let me charge the full amount of postage that the item costs to send special delivery. So I'm paying for the rest out of my own pocket. What started out as something so simple has turned into a complicated nightmare.

Some of that info is incorrect. I pay for everything on ebay using my debit or credit card. When I pay for something paypal does not pay a seller. I do. It leaves my account the moment I pay for my item. I've checked times etc. maybe it's different when using a bank account but not using a card. The money is instantly taken from your account. So paypal should not be taking 72 hours in these circumstances.

Hi. I haven't received more money than usual. I rang payapl and even they admitted this should not be happening all the time. Yet it is. The lady I spoke to reversed payment then got me to transfer back into my bank account yet it was still pending. She tried this a few times and cannot understand why this is happening. Which for me is even more worrying. I sold something on ebay which I didn't really want to sell to raise some cash towards getting to my family faster. I have just lost my dad. Now I can't leave until I get my money. Plus I need to post item which has to be shipped special delivery which costs about £10. So now I will be even worse off. So I'm not too happy at the moment. I waited a week for my last withdrawal to clear. I will have to take a loan out with my bank tomorrow.
