Had the same thing during March. Used to go straight into my account immediately (HSBC - so not an obscure account). Did a withdrawal last week and got this 72 hour working day crap. Rang up and Indian call centre just kept saying it was on a 'first come first served' basis, that they can only process a batch of so many a day (she said 5 million, whether that's transactions or money I've no idea) and if I miss that dats batch, u wait 72 hours. That makes no sense. If they're doing a batch a day and you miss it, then surely you're first(ish) in the queue the next day. Why 3 working days??? We pay plenty in fees with PayPal, holding onto our money like this is criminal. That's my cash, transfer it immediately or within 2 hours. Frustrating, ridiculous and unfair to businesses. Safe to say I will be avoiding using PayPal at all and will look for another payment gateway. Shameful 😡😡😡
