Its becuase PayPal make enourmous amounts of money by arbitrarily holding your money in their own suspense accounts for 72 hours. Imagine holding billions of other peoples money even just for an hour! The interest they make, while only fractions of a percent, still amounts to huge profits. Remember the bad old days of paper cheques? Well PayPal has brought that same mentality into the 21st century. I am personally so fed up I will never use PayPal again. They chraged me over £12 to receive funds of £375, then decided to hold onto the money again for 72 hours when i requested the withdraw. And dont try call the agents. WORSE than useless. My advice, just use your bank. PayPal was supposed to "protect" buyers and seller, when the ONLY PEOPLE WE NEED PROTECTION FROM IS PAYPAL THEMSELVES!
