So i've been doing the instant transfer onto my debit card for as long as that's been an option. It's never taken longer than 5 minutes to get into my bank account doing it that way. So here is the weird thing. On Dec 31st I needed to pay my rent and they only allow you to do it online now. We had money scattered across different cards to do it that way but they only allow you to pay the full balance on ONE card so I had my husband use his paypal to send me a large transaction to my paypal so I could transfer it to my account. So I transferred the money via the debit card option. Now I swear to god that when I checked a few minutes later it was IN my account and I had enough to pay the rent with like four bucks left. It literally showed it in my account after the rent showed as a pending transaction. Yesterday however when I checked my account I was negative in the amount of my rent. Meaning the bank covered the rent but there is NO record of that paypal money ever being in there with my bank. It just disappeared. No pending transactions shown for the bank either, they told me to check on this end so i'm waiting to hear back but i'm worried. I have record of the transactions i've made with paypal but they show as complete even though that large amount of money was only there for a few minutes. So i'm wondering if somehow it showed up in my account for a few minutes, they took it back, and now I have to wait another day because yesterday was a holiday or something? I've never had any problems with the transfer to bank.
