Hi... just thought I'd join the protest. It's the most frustrating and annoying situation when PayPal have a hold on your funds. I sold an item for just under £1,000 recently and PayPal put my withdrawal 'under review', obviously I couldn't ship the item because I didn't have the money on my bank account to arrange for the courier. I expected it work, naively, as it had always done in the past. This random event, I was later told by PayPal, may have been due to a failed login attempt, one that I had made from my IP and my PC some 5 days ago, but was easily able to log in after my first failed attempt. I don't care a hoot about their security system, it's clearly a flawed piece of garbage developed by monkeys. What kind of idiot programmers are behind this? Tioday, again, I've requested a withdrawal and AGAIN my money is being held!! I want to type so many explitives, I'm angry beyond words. Last time I had to call up PayPal and have them cancel the request so transfer the money to my girlfriend so that she could do an FPI payment to me... absolutely crazy and unbelievable. And this is only recent, this never used to happen, usually when I made a withdrawal request, within 10 mintues the funds would be on my bank account, PayPal is going fastly downhill and I'm annoyed as **bleep** as there is nothing else out there we can use as an alternative. We are paying PayPal in our fees constantly, and I for one am not paying for them to hold onto my money because of their stupid flawed security **bleep** up system. If I call up, I expect someone to be able to override this stupidity and release the funds immediately into my account, rather than cancel it and burden someone else with the transfer. I'm absolutely furious about this and something needs to be done. I'm tempted to take to social media and review sites just to give them as many negative reviews as I can post.
